IE7 - Compatibility Issue - Information for all developers
-
Hi Friends Any application that uses the ActivexControl IHIE4 (which is wrapper for Webbrowser control) will hang when a user tries to navigate to the URL for the second time. But, in IE 6 no such issue exists.
Thanks and Regards, Aby

(Adding to my previous post...) This is because the Webbrowser control which is compatible with IE 6 uses shdocvw.dll. But, the Webbrowser control which is compatible with IE 7 uses ieframe.dll. A fix for this would be to initialize IHIE4 in the Initialize event in the main application.

Hi All, Thats the information that I could find until now. Just put on a post so that in case anyone faced an issue on upgrading to IE7; you could get to know one of the reasons for the error and deply a fix in time. Do let me know if you have any new findings or resolutions for the same.
Thanks and Regards, Aby
