R:azzak, You must have read my mind. Earlier this evening I was looking at the DB Web Browser as a potential way to run a Visual Studio developed xxx.exe application within a browser, in the absence of a an object that allows to run it from within a form, and I noticed it was using the old IE browser and I was going to ask if there was a way to use the newer Edge browser. Now, If I can figure out a way to run the xxx.exe application within a form, I would be a very happy developer. 😊 Javier, Javier Valencia, PE 913-915-3137 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of A.

With Edge being made the default browser in newer Windows operating systems, and Web Browser form controls being based upon Internet Explorer, users and developers now have the option to specify the underlying browser. Also in the properties is the Edge data folder that may be specified for the session information. In order to use Edge as the browser engine, WebView2 Runtime must be downloaded and installed, and files must be placed accordingly. Please refer to the help file instructions for the appropriate Web Browser control. Allowing users and developers to easier transition the engine type for Web Browser based forms, by not having to modify all forms, application wide PROPERTY commands have been implemented: GLOBAL_BROWSER_ENGINE - <NO_PREFERRED|IE|EDGE|EDGE_IF_AVAILABLE> Specifies the Web browser engine to display web pages, globally for the session GLOBAL_EDGE_DATA_FOLDER - <path> Specifies the folder location where Edge places the session information, globally for the session PROPERTY APPLICATION GLOBAL_BROWSER_ENGINE EDGE PROPERTY APPLICATION GLOBAL_EDGE_DATA_FOLDER C:\Temp\EdgeData To check if WebView2 Runtime is installed, which is required to use Edge for Web Browser controls, a CHECK_WEBVIEW2 parameter for the GETPROPERTY command has been added. The result is either OK or NOT FOUND. GETPROPERTY APPLICATION CHECK_WEBVIEW2 'vWebView2Install' Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
