I have an electron 6.0.7, angular 8, nodejs 6.9.0 application. There are activex dlls on client side, not on server side, that I need to reference them from the angular app and call their functions. How can I do it without creating local nodejs server on client side ? I have seen how to do it by creating a server locally. I am looking for solution without creating the server, cause the dlls exist locally on client side.

  • there is a reason for browsers not to allow the execution of client side programs and/or activeX controls: it would be a security flaw – The Fabio Nov 10 '19 at 10:23

  • Thanks for the answer. Yes, I know that this is a security risk, but these activex dlls are our dlls. On angularjs we could use: require('winax'); and call the functions of the dlls. On angulr >= 2 the typescript should be compiled and we are getting an error on the line: require('winax'). – D.F Nov 10 '19 at 10:59

  • I will still get an error on: require('winax'). This is for importing js file. Thanks. – D.F Nov 11 '19 at 07:27
