10:11:21 | Daxlai | how to use client machine resource using apex application. eg. in client machine run one batch file or from apex application want to run word/execl at client machine. in case of mobile how i use camera of mobile or native application in mobile |
10:13:38 | Sven Weller | Camera/Photo can be accessed from HTML via browsers nowadays. Something like <input type="file" accept="image/*"> should be enough. Or use javascript |
10:15:52 | zia | ActiveX can be used wherever availabe for utilizing resources on client macine limited to only IE |
10:27:27 | Tim St. Hilaire | @Daxlai : As APEX is a browser based tool, you are limited to the capabilities of your specific browser. As technology progresses, you can have access to additional features such as the camera for pictures or files. Without special trusted tools, you will not be able to impact a client’s machine. This is a security structure that protects the client implemented by the browser. |
10:30:26 | Daxlai | my applcation run on phone/tablate by user. requirement to use native application for barcode to scan the barcode on document for dataentry how i can use that native mobile application using apex |
10:31:50 | Ross Henderson | I'm sure I've seen a plugin around for that. But I'd probably consult the APEX Slack channel or APEX Forums. |
10:32:24 | Greg | By "scan" do you mean a spedial scanner? Or do you mean use the camera on the phone? |
10:32:33 | Greg | special scanner... |
10:34:07 | Ross Henderson | I'm sure you guys have seen Vincents work in converting APEX into a PWA. Is that something that might be considered in the future as a feature of APEX? |
