I am starting to use the new chromium web browser in 2019 R3. I am looking for a solution where if our customers do not allow internet activity for their users that I can still display a local webpage. I would really like to have this content be served up by the database so it can display different pages by customer.

Has anyone done anything like this?

Thanks,

Chris Craft

Glad to hear the EXE works correctly.

Did you run the PB IDE as admin by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting "Run as administrator" option?

Running as Admin did not fix it.

Strange. If you can reproduce also on another machine, I suggest opening a support ticket for this.

Hi Chris;

  For the HTML files(s) served up from the DBMS, how about using a SelectBLOB command to get the web page(s) back to the client PC, save them locally and then point the Web Browser control to these local files? On a new "navigate" event or destructor event of the WB control, delete the last local file(s) saved.

Food for thought.  HTH

Regards ... Chris

Not specifically like that, but local files do work.  In the demo I did for Elevate 2020 I accessed local GIF, Flash (SWF) and even a C# file.
