Example 5: HTML/JavaScript
This example uses HTML controls to drive a PTC Mathcad Prime worksheet, and demonstrates how to build your custom HTML forms with these simple get/set values and API calls:
1. Open PTC Mathcad Prime.
2. Load a worksheet.
3. Push data values.
4. Pull data values back.
In this example, we run javascript called from inside an HTML form. Use any HTML application to launch PTC Mathcad Prime as an ActiveX control. There are no security concerns because PTC Mathcad Prime is loaded on your machine.
1. Download the example here: HTML_Javascripts.
2. To run the example, executecantilever.hta. An HTML dialog window opens.
