Customizing netscape for OEM application.

Postby babmad » Mon 17 Oct, 2005 4:09 pm

We have an application using X-Motif (on Solaris 2.6) and planning to use html files for providing field help to the user. Planning to use netscape navigator or communicator Version 4.78 or 4.79. Basically browser is for displaying html files which are stored locally. In this application browser is not meant for browsing internet. So I need to disable most of the menu options, tool bar buttons, icons at the bottom of the netscape and address bar except stop, refresh, print and search options. I have following following questions.
1. How to disable these menu options so that user is restricted to browser internet ???.
2. How to create new tool bar button "Close" and "Lock" and implement our own functionality for these buttons ???.
3. Presently I am using the command "system(netscape_executable_name filename.html)" to open the browser with the appropriate html file. This creates an instance of netscape for every call to this command and creates a lock file after the first instance. Because of this i am always getting an error message "Netscape has detected a /ngvob/ui_rel/.netscape/lock file .... Choose Ok or Cancel". How to disable this locking ???

I believe you would need to use Netscape Mission Desktop Control to disable such features.
