first of all , I want to say this is a great project so keep it up. I managed to use this control but I am having a problem calling a function inside an ActiveX control that I developed. I tried everything and so I do not know what could be missing. I can set control parameters just fine but can NOT invoke a function inside an ActiveX. Here is an example of something that I am trying to get working but the Function "DisplayClient" never gets called.. What am I doing wrong?

<html>
	<div><span id='log'></span></div>
	<object
	id="mychat" logger="logger" debugLevel="7"
	TYPE="application/x-itst-activex"
	WIDTH="600"
	HEIGHT="400"
	clsid="{68459db3-59c9-449D-815b-65f729385c16}"
	progid="VOICESECURE.VoiceSecureCtrl.1"
	param_name="Guest5738"

	>

	</object>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	function logger(msg) {
	document.getElementById('log').innerHTML += msg + '<br/>';
	}


	function DisplayClient()
	{
	alert(document.getElementById('mychat'));
	var obj = document.getElementById('mychat');

	obj.DisplayClient();

	}
	</script>
	<a href="javascript:DisplayClient()"> display</a>
	<a href="javascript:ReconnectClient(66)"> connect</a>
	</html>

Hi Alaa,

I see you have enabled logging, can you share the logs please?

Hi Leeor, Here is the logs:

AxHost.TestAuthorization: returning True
AxHost.NPP_New: debug level set to 7
AxHost.verifyClsID: verified successfully
AxHost.setClsID: CLSID {68459db3-59c9-449D-815b-65f729385c16} set
AxHost.CreateControl: control created successfully

=========================================================

I can call functions from script using IE but not working on Chrome or FIrefox...

I don't see anything strange in those logs. Sounds like you'll need to attach a debugger to the browser to understand what's going on.

Hi Leeor,

when I used try/catch then I got the following exception "Error calling method on NPObject". What kind of debugger do you suggest? I never used Firebug, will that help?

Sorry for the time it took me to respond.

I meant that I think you should use a debugger like VS to debug the plugin itself, not a JS/DOM debugger.
