Internet Explorer loosing support from MS

Hi,

Due to the fact that MS will drop support for internet explorer, I thought I should look into the IE ActiveX that I use in Citect.

I suppose that it will stop working when IE is removed. My IT-department informed me that they will remove IE from our computers when support is dropped. This will be replaced by Edge Chromium (which will have IE11 support: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode )

In CiCode i call the IE ActiveX like this:
CreateControlObject("Microsoft web browser","Web Browser", 5, 30, 1105, 850);

And by looking at the ActiveXes i suppose this calls the ieframe.dll.

Will there be an edge-ActiveX to use in the same way as the ie-ActiveX?

  • You could look into using Microsofts WebView2 control. It's the Edge Chromium variant of the Web Browser control.

    You have to download the WebView2 SDK to be able to use it. I'm not completely sure if it can be used within Citect pages, but here's a Getting Started page for a standard Windows Forms application in Visual Studio. Should be similar to Graphics Builder I hope.

    Please let us know how you go.
