How to detect if html was opened as a webdialog
-
I have a javascript/html application (.hta) that runs as an independent application. Is there a way to have it detect if were opened as a webdialog via SketchUp?
I tried to test the skp: protocol, but that opened a new window.
if (window.location="skp:")
// webdialog
else
// sketchup not available -
Darn, Thom must have left work and be out drinking beer and eating cookies already.
Anyhow, for future reference I ended up checking the window.location.href - which is a file path in both sketchup and the .hta. The webdialog uses a .htm file and the hta uses the same file renamed to .hta. If the filename extension is .htm, sketchup is available.

You're assigning
window.locationto"skp:"- you used a single =
Like ruby, you must use == to test for equality.@jim said:

I don't quite get that. You have a .hta application, you also use that in a Webdialog. You use
WebDialog.set_file("myHTA.hta")andwindow.location.href = "myHTA.htm"?? -
Thanks Thomas,
I've thought some more and decided I am taking the wrong path. Better to separate out the common features from the sketchup/non-sketchup features; and only include what we need.

Now I'm curious to what you're cooking.

Secondly we know we can launch Sketchup from an hta but we haven't got as far as seeing how to manipulate within it preferably from a single plan/do interface.
Anyway thanks again for your help. I thought you deserved some kind of explanation.
Regards
Chris
