IE10 do not receive events from ActiveX object using IE10 'Document Mode'

Question

IE10 do not get ActiveX events using Standard document mode, on previous versions of IE same control fires events, and IE is notified when they are triggered.

I use a code with this pattern to handle the events: 'alert(true);'

'true' is only alerted when using IE9 and lower Document Modes

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Found a solution that worked for me in here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/34a8d6e5-c14a-48ef-af49-a9f970697564/are-activex-control-events-still-supported-in-ie10-standards-mode?forum=ieextensiondevelopment

It demonstrates using 'eval':

eval('function ActivexID::OnLoad(msg) { alert(msg); }');

Answer 2

Here are some reasons:

• ActiveX filtering is enabled via group policy or user settings
• ActiveX is being blocked due to an obsolete certificate
• IE10 is running in Metro mode
