launch another app?

Is there a known or recommended way to launch an instance of another app in another browser window?

I tried some clever stuff with Eval, and was able to launch another window, but it appears to spin forever waiting for something, and it seemed like a bit of a hack to begin with 🙂

Yes!  That’s what I needed.  Excellent.

Basically, I want to use it to lauch another WiseJ program, like:

Application.Navigate(“http://” + servername + “/EPVReportViewer?report=” + reportdescriptor), “_blank”);

And then in the other app, use Applicaton.QueryString to get the “report” parameter.  It would be analogous to running another app on the command line and passing it an argument.

Of course, I’ll have to implement some security, but otherwise, does this sound like a feasible approach?

Hi David,

I´m not sure what you mean with launching another app. Navigate to an url on a different tab ?
This can be achieved with Application.Navigate. But please note that the browser will block it the first time as a popup because the call to open a tab was not initiated by a user action.

In alternative, you could navigate on a new tab using javascript connected to a user action like a click somewhere.

Hope that helps.

Best regards
Frank
