It's restriction of Adobe license or technical restriction?

3. Re: Why my dialog does not appear?
wildcathoya Jul 9, 2010 1:02 PM (in response to ChromeUser)I have a plug-in that opens an MFC dialog when I right-click on an annotation in a browser, and it works with Acrobat 7, 8, and 9 in FireFox, IE, and Chrome on XP and Windows 7. So, it is possible to open an MFC dialog in a browser.
However, when I was first testing my plug-in with IE 8 on Windows 7, the dialog would not open. (This didn't happen with FireFox, and I haven't tested Chrome on Windows 7). It turned out to be a Windows 7 security issue that only seems to affect IE8.
You can verify this by logging into Windows 7 as "Administrator" (i.e., not as yourself, even if you have Admin permissions.) The dialog should open. However, that is obviously not a good solution because most users will not log in as "Administrator," which is a user account that is not enabled by default.
Log back in as yourself and add your website as a "Trusted site" -- Tools>>Internet Options>>Security. Select "Trusted sites," click the "Add" button, and add your site. That worked for me.

ChromeUser Jul 9, 2010 10:53 PM (in response to wildcathoya)Thanks,bill.
Yes, you are right.May be the key is Win7 security.
I also tested my plugin under win7 + IE8 with adding registry key "TabProcGrowth" as 0 into HKEY_LOCALMACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Internet Explorer -> Main.
That's OK.
But i don't want my customer to do any extra setting,so i have changed my dialog written by ADM dialog manager.That's Ok also.
Most important,does adobe permit my adobe reader plugin to bring up dialog under IE?
That's most important.

wildcathoya Jul 10, 2010 10:48 AM (in response to ChromeUser)Sorry, I didn't see that you were referring to Reader, and not to Acrobat. I have no personal experience with Reader plug-ins. Adobe needs to sign-off on Reader plug-ins, but it's my understanding that your plug-in can do just about anything that it could do in Acrobat as long as it doesn't save the PDF or create comments, unless the PDF has been "reader-enabled." Otherwise an MFC dialog should work. However, in your latest post you said it was written with ADM while you originally said it was MFC. My dialog is 100% Win32 (CDialog) because ADM had some technical issues and also because ADM was deprecated in Acro 6 or 7, so I don't know if an ADM dialog will work in a browser.

ChromeUser Jul 10, 2010 9:39 PM (in response to wildcathoya)I don't know what tech issues ADM have,i will check it.
If the dialog written by MFC working right without changing security setting or registry,i will use MFC of course.
Anyway, thanks again,bill.
