WebBrowser Control in Plex

[Anon Anon]

Does anyone  have used the WebBrowser control in Plex?[left] Thanks[left]

Yes, we did. Nothing fancy, the requirement was to show a XML file with in Plex WinC client. 1. Insert a ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser) on the Panel 2. In the action diagram call source code WebBrowser1.Navigate &(1:). Where Parameter 1 is path of the xml file. Srini

I want to know the right meaning of the parameter of the VBScript statement WebBrowser1.Navigate &(1:), Flags, TargetFrameName, PostData, Headers.[left] Does exist a documentation about use this control with VB 6 or VBScript (not in .NET)?[left] Thanks[left]

[Srini]

Try MSDN or Google. MSDN does have help/documentation in C#, C++,VB and/or J++ for each of the methods.
Webbrowser
WebBrowser.Navigate

Hope this helps.

We have used MS Webcontrol in order to provide 'dynamic multiple-db-record-formats' in an application table
of one of our applications when viewed in its 'EditView' Panel. That is, based in the value of a field in this table,
the table is 'logically extended' by different dynamic db-record formats (sets of fields who form a dynamic db-record).
Inside the MS Webcontrol we 'formulate' dynamically the html page and populate its data fields with values from a
dictionary VBScript Object, which is being filled from database data.
So we have: Database --> Retrieval --> Populate Dictionary Object --> 'construct' the html page in the Webcontrol with
values from the Dictionary Object --> Display to the User & accept his interaction with data (e.g. changes) -->
Retrieve from html document the changes back to Dictionary Object --> Write changes back to database.

Following are attached the two Vbscript sources:
-1-DictionaryToHtml.txt
(The WBCR12004F is the name of the Webcontrol in the plex panel) Note the two lines:
Set WD = WBCR12004F.document
WD.body.innerHTML = HTMLSource
-2-HtmlToDictionary.txt

Best Regards, Nicolas

Try WebKitX, it supports HTML5 and modern frameworks like Angular and React.

Hello to all, 
with our upgrade to Plex 7.2.1
and due to performance requirements, 
since we are embedding Angular in a 
WebContol, (generator: Winc 32bit C/S with IBM i), we have started phasing out the MS WebContol, and using the MobileFX's WebkitX CEF3 ActiveX control, which is way faster than the MS WebContol. Note that it is available not only as an ActiveX but also available for C#, and it has detailed documentation on its web site.
