Re: Getting the Internet Explorer control to use the sun JVM

As I said, all I'm writing is something in VB that uses the IE control.
And, as I said, this applet only works with the SUN VM, not the MS VM. And
again, as I said, the problem is IE tries to load the applet in the
Microsoft VM, which fails. Indeed the purpose is to allow the applet to be
independent of the client OS, but Microsoft messed this up a while ago, I'm
sure you're aware of that situation. I didn't write the applet, I'm merely
browsing to a page that contains it. And also, it's written to work with
the Sun (and I suppose any other appropriately coded VM), not the MS VM.

The problem, as I stated, is that the IE control inside an application
apparently "falls back" to the MS VM, even though I have the Sun VM
installed. If I go to the site in IE by itself, it works fine. I've found
a workaround though, I just remove entries to the MS VM from the registry,
and the sun VM loads appropriately.

The purpose of Java is to allow applications to be developed that are
independent of the software in the client system. In other words, we
aren't supposed to write applets that only work for the Microsoft VM. So
why do you need to?

Hello,

From VB, I have to write something that'll deal with a page that uses a
java
applet. It'd appear that from the browser control, IE won't use the sun
JVM. I have this installed, and if I go to the page from IE, it'll work
fine. However, if I try to go to the page in a shdocvw control, it
doesn't
work. Is there a setting that needs to be set to tell the control to use
the sun VM over Microsoft's VM, or something I need to call?

Thanks,

Jason
