Connector API

The Connector API is deprecated but supported to ensure backwards compatibility.

The preferred methods for integration eBrowser with another system are web linking and ActiveX, but if neither is applicable, it is possible to create a small connector DLL using an eBrowser version that provides the necessary interfaces for communicating between the applications. The connector can use any method to communicate with the external application as long as it can provide the interfaces that eBrowser requires.

For more information about the Connector API, contact Cadmatic.

Additional registry settings

Additional registry settings might help you to use eBrowser more effectively. Create the required registry keys and define their values.

Name : 'useExtBrowser' (type:DWORD)

This setting enables the standard Internet Explorer menus to be shown in the browser window that is used to display object details. The possible values are: 0 = do not use external browser (default), 1 = use external browser.

Transparency

You can use transparent materials for objects. This requires that you modify the COS configuration object in COS server.
