Properties

Name

 

function

Application

[...]

selection for the application to be started or file e.g. notepad.exe

Parameters

 

Parameters entered here are appended to the application call as start parameters. e.g. test.txt

Execute on server

selection

If this selection is set, the selected programme starts on the server. This does not apply to programmes that have an interface. This means that it is not possible, for example, to open Internet Explorer on the server from a client. If the selection is not set, the programme starts on the client. Here it is possible to open programmes with an interface.

Execute on mobil device

selection

If this selection is set, the selected programme starts on the mobile device. If it is not set, the component is not displayed in the app. If it is intended to start other apps from the polar bear, so-called "schemes" are required. These can be obtained from the corresponding manufacturer (if available!) and entered under "Application".

Possible schemes can be searched for on the Internet: Search term handleOpenURL.

Confirmation message

 

Text content of the notification popup. If a text is entered, a window appears with which the program can be accepted or rejected.

Confirmation title

 

Title bar of the notification popup. If a text is entered, a window appears with which the program can be accepted or rejected.

Automatic start

selection

If this selection is active, the stored program starts immediately after the page with the component is called. Here the confirmation query is ignored.

Shut down on close

selection

When exiting the Windows client, the program started by this component is also terminated.

Lock operation (display only)

selection

If this parameter is set, the component can not be operated. Only the activation via the data point "Trigger" is possible.

 

Example Notepad:

If the application notepad.exe is called as an application, the file to be called can be set via the command line parameter. e.g. test.txt. Then the file test.txt is opened in the program Notepad.

 

Example Win screen keyboard:

The Windows screen keyboard "osk.exe" cannot be called until the files "osk.exe" and the "oskSupport.dll" are copied to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" . In the programme start component, the path  "C:\Windows\System32\osk.exe"  iscalled up as before.

 

Starting other apps from the EisBaer Smart Client:

To start an app from the Project view, use the Start Program components. If it is planned to launch other apps out of the polar bear, so-called "Scheme" will be needed. These can be obtained from the corresponding manufacturer (if available!) And entered under "Application".

Possible schemes can be searched on the Internet: search term handleOpenURL.

 

Example of a URL Scheme for opening "www.YouTube.com":

 

Appel IOS: ios: http://www.youtube.com/

Android android: com.google.android.youtube

Other: external: <URL>
