Hi All, 

Would appreciate some pointers on this. 

Our PB 2019 R2 application has a menu object or the menu and currently the Help option directs the user to a file on the file system. We wish to change that so that the user is directed to an online help url. I suspect many will have done this, so hopefully will get some pointers there. 

However, there is one other requirement, once on the help url, the user should not be allowed to navigate away from the help guide pages. ( I don't know how this is done either, but I believe it would be possible somehow, as occasionally when doing some general googling, I land on a page that cannot be navigated away from ( Annoying!) and have to close the browser )

 

Hope the above makes sense. Please reply if clarification needed.

 

Many Thanks

 

Davy

Use the new Chromium WebBrowser control.

You're welcome David, let's hope you won't run into the same problems I and some others did, even if it's for "just displaying html help pages".

regards

Thanks all.

Used the new Chromium WebBrowser and it looks to be functioning exactly as I need.

By the way, this has been further enhanced in PB 2019 R3 so you may want to investigate the beta version.
