Hello,

We are using Web Browser in a OLE. My question is how will we know which version of IE is running in PowerBuilder OLE? Is there a way to register which version of IE we would like to use within our OLE object? Let say later version of IE or if we can make use of Microsoft Edge will be great. Hoping to get an answer asap. Thanks

Do you need to know the browser version or the compatibility mode?

You could use JavaScript!

 

Example how to get a value from JavaScript

ole_browser.Object.Document.parentWindow.eval ("myjavascriptvariable=some_expession_or_function;")

mypowerbuildervariable = ole_browser.Object.Document.Script.myjavascriptvariable

The default is IE7. To change it, you have to make a registry entry for the exe name.

Since IE is going to no longer be supported soon, it would be nice to have a Chrome/Firefox web control or some way to make the current MS web control use Chrome/FF.

I haven't heard anything new about IE non-support.

There is a Chrome control I saw recently but it is about 800 dollars.
