Hi Tom,

As always, your screens are looking nice.

Nice work Tom.
It was at our meeting here in Idaho that you gave me the idea for adding ownerdrawing to DCBROWSE.

How did I miss XbpHtmlViewer2?
Did you modify _DCCLASS.PRG for this, or did you create a subclass?

I need to look into this and find out what is different about XbpHtmlViewer2.

Thanks, Chris, thanks Roger (and late happy birthday greetings!).

I modified DCCLASS.PRG (and some others) for this. Since XbpHtmlViewer needs a control which is not supported anymore, we decided to do that.

If you will send me those code changes, I'd like to update my library.

I added the asset to DCLIPX_20.PRG and just changed every occurance of "XbpHtmlViewer" into "XbpHtmlViewer2" in a few PRGs in the DCLIPX-folder, that was it. Chris' suggestion was to add a new DCHTMLVIEWER2 which supports the new WebViewer2, which won't break existing behaviour.

So simple. Thanks.

Hi,
The XbpHtmlViewer2 is working, but it is terrible slow. I remember something about this but I can't find it.

[Tom]

I also remember something about this. Check the runtime version of the installed viewer control. Use the most actual version of the asset.

We use it intensively. It's very fast and reliable, and it supports all common techniques.

With the Xbase++-update released today, the XbpHtmlViewer2-asset was improved. There are new methods for printing and exporting, and not only the ExecuteScript-method will support the new AsyncResult class, which sounds very interesting.
