I'm trying to use the Microsoft WebBrowser control in a PB 12.6 64bit application. When I run it, it gives an error that it is unable to convert an any variable to extobject.

 Has anyone gotten this to work?

Hi Roland;

   FWIW:    Working OK for me in Appeon PB2017R3 ...

    Could be a PB 12.6 issue as Appeon has patched numerous PB 12.6 issues since taking over the baseline code from SAP.

Regards ... Chris

The display of web pages works, it is the accessing of properties that fails. I just tested using 2017-R3-MR and 2018-Beta1 and it works so Appeon has fixed this.

I'm going through all the code examples on my website to make sure they all work properly in 64bit mode. Instead of PB8/PB10 versions, they will have PB10.5/12.6 versions.



The ones with the WebBrowser control I will have to use 2017 instead of 12.6.

Hi Roland;

Thanks for checking this with R3 & PB2018 (actually, PB2019 Beta#1) and reporting back to us!

That is Super Great news! :-)

More info:

It does allow for display of web pages but any code that attempts to access a property gets an error like this:

PowerBuilder application execution error (R0019)

Application terminated.

Error: Cannot convert any in Any variable to extobject at line 2 in function of_setsource of object u_web_browser.

 

Here is the code for of_setsource:


// set the webpage HTML source
this.Object.Document.body.innerHTML = as_source

I have this working as an independent application in PB 12.5 but if I try to use the same code inside another existing application it gives me the error. Since I have to use PB 12.5 - please suggest a work around or how to fix this in PB 12.5. Thank you and appreciate your help.
