Hi Graham

The only solution I know is a nice trick that was mentioned here some years ago (yes this group is really magic! )
Tried it with uniPaaS & XPA3 and it works fine with both ActiveX and .NET browser control (which is actually the same control: Microsoft encapsulated the Active-X browser inside a .NET wrapper).

Use the browser's status-line property.
Inside your HTML, use a script to access the status-line text property, and update it when user clicks on the map.
Add there some custom text like <X=32.123456, Y=43.12345>. Make sure it's in a format safely readable by your program and cannot be confused with anything else that may automatically written in the status line.
Then access it from Magic as a property of the .NET browser object. If I remember well, you read it when the onChange event is triggered.

Hi,

 

We have an XPA 3.2 app which allows the user to map all of their clients within a range of their current location in a browser control.  On the map we allow them to click a marker and an information window pops up displaying information we have put in the html that launched the map.  What we would like to do is be able to click somewhere in that pop up and return something back to the XPA app so that we can then go to the client.  Does anyone know if this is possible and if so point me in the right direction to figure out how to do it.

 

Thanking you in anticipation.
