Macro to detect if IEPlugin or AJAX is used

Hi,

In a VBScript macro, I want to do something like:

If viewedWithIEPlugin then

     doAction1;

else

     doAction2;

end if

How to do that?

Thank you

I was unable to use ClientPlatform() from a VBScript macro, even when stored in a variable.

Instead I used ActiveDocument.GetApplication.QTProduct and it worked for me.

Hi,

You should be able to use the ClientPlatform( ) function.

Returns the name of the platform the client is using, for example, Mobile.iPhone.

All mobile clients start with Mobile, a period sign and the type of mobile device. Clients using AJAX will return Browser.Nameofbrowser, for example Browser.Firefox.

For Plugin or Standalone QV the returned value will be blank (which should allow you to target these clients as well with a separate action).

From the F1 help:

"The function will only return the client type for those clients using the QVPX protocol, that is the mobile clients and the AJAX client."

ClientPlatform() function returns a blank value for IE Plugin and Standalone client. Below macro should give you the result.

Function GetClientPlatform
    Platform = ActiveDocument.Evaluate("ClientPlatform()")
     if isnull(Platform) or Len(Platform)=0 then
     GetClientPlatform = "Plugin or Standalone Platform"
     'Msgbox("Plugin or Standalone Platform")

      else
     GetClientPlatform = Platform
     ' Msgbox(Platform)
     end if
end function

I didn't know about this "evaluate" function but it seems to be quite useful
