Browser panel w/o IE?
-
Hi- I am using one of those IE based controls in a few dialogs to display HTML content downloaded from our server. But, we find that some users have problems with it. For some it either crashes or doesn't display anything. Suggestions on a good alternative? I prefer cheap, but could pay for a commercial product too.

Tried the Mozilla activeX control? http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm[^]
Not sure why -- but thing scares me -- 3 years old... would prefer something with some commercial support on it. I was hoping for someone's personal recommendations (from experience)...

The IE browser control is what scares me. It use to have documented BSTR and other resource leaks.

I have developed one commercial application utilizing an older version of the mozilla control, I have not had any problems with it. The only other viable solution I am aware of is HTMLayout: http://www.terrainformatica.com/htmlayout/[^] I have not personally used it but an engineer here in the office says he recommends it. Perhaps someone reading this thread will have some additional input about the subject Best Wishes, -David Delaune
