Hi All

We are using Ole web browser control and uninstalled Internet explorer, made edge as default browser.

Not able to open href link html tag from ole browser control.

Attached sample application for the above mentioned issue. Can you please let me know if we have any alternative to run the sample application making edge as default browser and uninstalling IE.

Thanks 

Prasanth

Hi Prasanth ;

  The EDGE browser will not run embedded as an OLE/OCX like IE did as it is not registered as a "Control". You can use Roland's built-in web browser control in the newer Appeon PB versions suggestion or run The EDGE web browser externally to your PB App, as follows:

String ls_edge = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe  file:///C:/Dev/test.html'

Run ( ls_edge )

HTH

Regards ... Chris

The Microsoft OLE Web Browser is based on Internet Explorer. Edge is based on Chromium, just like Chrome and the built in web browser control in PB 2019.

You should upgrade to the latest PB 2019 build and use the built in control.

Adding to what Roland said, here is relevant documentation for PB 2019 R3: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/objects_and_controls/ch02s150.html
