    Jonathan, can you tell me how can I call another application (such a command line app or a web app on the internet) but without opening any windows

    You can't with the standard Gadget API. If you don't want windows poping up, either write your own, or download a freeware SMTP ActiveX COM.

    See this thread, you'll need to register/unregister the DLL, it's all in there.

    Sorry for the "newbie" questions, but how can I call a COM application from a Gadget



  • Mr Teter

    If you want to call a web service you can use the MS Ajax library nut in that case you'll have to modify your web service in order to generate a proxy

    I've blog some info on this here : http://blog.khamlon.info/ p=28 in french, but id really needed I could translate it

    You can, if you want to code them. The easiest solution would be to call a command line eMail client, such as postie to sent via SMTP - obviously you'd need the user to give you the SMTP server address.
