Anonymous Subject: Launching Stylus Studio via COM or DDE
Author: Anonymous
Date: 11 Nov 2002 05:22 PM
I would like to integrate Stylus Studio with our Intranet environment. We commonly invoke external editing tools from a Web browser using a JScript function like so:

function invokeEditor(Editor, URL){
var WSHShell = new ActiveXObject ("WScript.Shell");
var command = Editor + " " + URL;
WSHShell.Run(command);
}

The "Editor" in the above function is the COM or DDE name of the editing tool. For Microsoft Word the COM/DDE name is "winword". For Altova's XML product, the COM/DDE name is "XMLSpy". The URL is any valid URL, such as "http://www.myserver.com/mydoc.xml".

I'm struggling to find a way to launch Stylus Studio from the above JScript function. I'm only able to launch it using its full path. Since not everyone installs the product on the same drive or in the same directory, it's not practical to launch this tool by full path.

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do? If not, any plans to add this feature?

You are right; our registration in the registry as application path is wrong; we are fixing it.

In the meanwhile you may fix it manually on your machine by just importing the attached .reg file (assuming your Stylus Studio installation is in the default c:\program files folder). You will then be able to run the application as "stylus".

Thanks for reporting this one,
Minollo
