XbpHtmlViewer

[Tom]

XbpHtmlViewer is even with Xbase++ 2.0 a wrapper for the IE activex-control, using compatibility mode for IE version 4.0 (!). XbpHtmlWindow is not able to work with JS code. So, if trying to display GoogleMaps within a dialog, XbpHtmlViewer says "You're using a much too old browser", XbpHtmlWindow only displays the static elements (the header). I need to use GM inside my dialogs. Any ideas?

Tom - Please post some sample code that you are using.

I would like to run it.

If anyone has the same problem - Roger helped me a little, Alaska (Till) showed the solution:

The IE control works in compatibility mode for IE 4/6 by default, but you can set the mode to 11/edge by adding a DWORD regstry key with your app's name (myapp.exe) to

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

containing "2AF9" (11001 binary). Works!

How do you enter your app's name in the registry key?

[Tom]

Code: Select all

DC_RegWrite(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,'Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION','myapp.exe',11001)

FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION is the key group, and you can set keys for all apps you manage.

That's great!!

I added the below code to the beginning of the WebBrow.prg sample program in ..\samples\activex\webbrow.prg.

This is generic for any Xbase++ program.

I ran your sample HTML and it worked with no Javascript errors.

Code: Select all

DC_RegWrite(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,'Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION', ;
            AppName(),11001)

Hi,

On my system this looks as it is not a very stable solution? The sample program exits without any warning after 5 minutes.

Hi, Chris.

I can't confirm this. The modified WEBBROW-sample works on serveral machines with Windows 10 (32/64) and with Windows 7 (the key should be ignored here), it runs without stopping. Do you get an XPPFATAL? What does it say?

Hi Tom,

No error at all. The screen disappears without any notice and no xppfatal.
I tried it with http://maps.google.com and I moved the map with the mouse. It start without problem, is getting slow and suddenly it disappears.
I had the same problem with our online manual, I was trying to have display it in our application.
Last test was with a youtube training movie we made.
