I'll refer you to my just-sent reply. You need to be more specific.

Exactly, *what* do you want to achieve with a webbrowser control,
that can't be achieved using an Iframe or the webClient .Net class ?

Tools have specific uses.
Using a hammer as a screwdriver isn't likely to be better than using a screwdriver.

Is it not true (I am pretty sure that this was the case way back) that to
use this control, the computer on which it is used need to have Internet
Explorer installed? That certainly wouldn't be the case for a web server.

What do I want to achieve? I want to keep my job. I have been given the
assinine task to create a webpage that hosts a webbrowser control to show as
an example in a beginner's class on activex controls within the company.

That is my task. Did I object? Sure. But, it didn't do a damned bit of
good. They want what they want - logic be damned.

Is that a good enough explanation for you?

And, now that we have spent so much time together, do you have the requested
information or not? I am really under a tight deadline and must concentrate
on solving this problem.

Thanks for your interest.

Juan, thanks for your interest, but please go away.

You obviously have no information that would help to attain the ridiculous
goals that my management staff is requiring of me and you seem to be "one of
those" argumentative MVPs that are more full of themselves than full of
knowledge. (I've run into them before.)

If you really knew how to host the webbrowser control in a webpage, you
would not give a tinker's damn as to why and would simply answer the
question, get your lattes and be on your way. But, argument seems to be
your goal - not the spreading of knowledge to one who is on desperate need
of it.

If Peter does not understand my response, I am sure that he is quite capable
of expressing that. Your post here shows that you are simply out to stir up
crap.

I am blocking your posts now because I have a coding problem to solve and
simply do not have the time to waste with your argumentative hogwash.

The activex control being used on the webpage should try and install on the
viewer's PC if IE is not already installed on the viewing PC. Seeing as how
IE is installed on all Windows PCs, the only possible problem would be that
of version of IE is installed on the viewer's PC. Even then, the viewing PC
should try and install the activeX control and run the page.

So far, the specs only call for using Windows PCs (for both server and
clients). I haven't been directed to do the impossible and run an activex
control on MAC or Linux just yet - but it wouldn't surprise me any if I
were.

Tell them it's an assinine request which doesn't make any sense,
for the reasons which have been explained to you.

re:
!> Is that a good enough explanation for you?

Nope. It's an explanation, but not a justiffication.

You should tell whomever it was who gave you that "task",
that there's better instruments to achieve what they request.

Specifically, tell them that Iframes and the webClient class can do what
they request...without embedding a web browser inside another web browser.

re:
!> And, now that we have spent so much time together, do you have the requested information or not?

I feel that I'd be giving you inforrmation which will serve for you to hang yourself.
As said before, hammers should be used as hammers, not as screwdrivers.

re:
!> I am really under a tight deadline and must concentrate on solving this problem

<shrug>

I wouldn't waste any time on a "problem" which is not a logical problem.

You should save your effforts for *real* problems...and you should tell
whomever it was that requested you dedicate effort to solve a non-problem,
that there's better ways to do what they requested.
