Hi there
I guess all of us have seen this message
click to activate and use this control
And all of us have also seen this message
press spacebar or enter to activate and use this control
Can someone tell me what the differences are, and how would you get different ones
I'm not using any flash, but my code does have <OBJECT> tag for the old deprecated Microsoft's ADS activex objects. Some screens I have the second message on window load (so as soon as the window loads you'll see this popup), and some screens I have the first message (so I won't see this unless I hover the mouse over the object).
I would like to know why I see the two messages despite the same object I use.
(NOTE: I know HOW TO solve this problem, I just want to know why there are two different messages.)
Thanks

The infamous "click to activate and use this control" and "Press spacebar..." message

Please explain how you solved this problem..
Currently, we have COM+ Application, that is all in ActiveX Controls..
Users are getting annoyed with this Message appearing EVERYTIME they go to Page...
Can this be done within the VB Code itself, or does it have to be loaded via JScript form External file (If tis, how to do, since we use the Infamous <OBJECT> tag..
Your help would be greatly appreciated..

I know the answer. I am HIGHLY suprised websites don't utilize it.
You have to use javascript to write it to the page somehow.. if you google for it there are plenty of scripts on the internet that use javascript to print, mainly flash, objects onto the screen. Which eliminates the "click to activate this control" crap.
Microsoft was retarded to put in this feature. who the hell wants this It makes having navigation menus in flash completely e-tard
I'd give you source code, but unfortunately I did it at my last job, and I don't have access to it anymore.
This page says they have a fix..
