How to avoid an HTML object to load everytime the ASP Page reloads itself

Question

Hi. I have an ASP.Net webpage where i use Microsoft Agent Control through the HTML Object tag as follows:

 

<OBJECT id=AgentControl 

    style="LEFT: 0px; TOP: 0px; Width: 36px; Left: 0px; height: 40px;"  

    codebase="../../../../#VERSION=2,0,0,0" 

    classid="CLSID:D45FD31B-5C6E-11D1-9EC1-00C04FD7081F" VIEWASTEXT></OBJECT>

<!-- Speech and Agent Files Respectively.  There numerous languages available for D/L.-->

 

<OBJECT WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:B8F2846E-CE36-11D0-AC83-00C04FD97575"

     codebase="../../../../#VERSION=6,0,0,0" id=Lernout_&_Hauspie_TruVoice_American_English_TTS_Engine1></OBJECT>

I am spawning the object on page load calling the init() function using VBScript as follows:

<script language="VBScript" type="text/vbscript">

Dim Merlin

Dim LoadChar

Dim CharLink

Dim temp

Dim loaded

function speak(sound)

Set CharLink = Merlin.Speak (sound)

end function

Public Sub Init()

On Error Resume Next

Set LoadChar = AgentControl.Characters.Load ("Merlin", "C:\Windows\msagent\chars\vrgirl.acs") 'Change to proper root depending on OS.

minimize()

InitializeTimer()

Set LoadChar = AgentControl.Characters.Load ("Merlin")

Set Merlin = AgentControl.Characters ("Merlin")  

      Merlin.Show

      Merlin.MoveTo 1000,100

End Sub 

</script>

 

So the problem is, everytime the page reloads, the Character Object also reloads. How to avoid this? 

Please help me. I have tried all sort of things.

 

Regards

Answer 1

Hi,

When the page reload, of course all control in the page would be refreshed. It is not partial postback.

So if you want to implement the partially refresh, you can try ajax, such as updatepanel in asp.net and trigger a partial postback.
