Program Launcher ActiveX control

The Program Launcher ActiveX control provides the system with the ability to launch third-party applications from within the
FactoryTalk View ME
application.
Use the Program Launcher ActiveX control to:
  • Launch a specified instance of an application with optional command parameters
  • Control focus of launched application(s), bringing the desired application to the foreground under application control
  • Close specific applications launched using the control
TIP:
To ensure consistency when launching
Microsoft®
Edge
using ME Program Launcher, we recommend that you turn off
Startup Boost
and
Continue running background extensions and apps when Edge is closed
in
Edge
, and set the LaunchEnable and NewInstance parameters to 1 in
FactoryTalk View Studio
. For more information, see Knowledgebase Document ID: QA78619 - FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition: ME Program Launcher Launches Microsoft Edge Inconsistently.
