Internet Explorer loosing support from MS

Anders

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?

  • Hi Anders,
    The link that you shared is just telling what I have told you above:
    "
    Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer 11 across its Microsoft 365 apps and services next year. In exactly a year, on August 17th, 2021, Internet Explorer 11 will no longer be supported for Microsoft’s online services like Office 365, OneDrive, Outlook, and more.
    "
    Again, IE11 didn't reach the end of life so I don't see this one as a reason to remove it from the computers.

    With Plant SCADA 2020 R2, the newer HTML5 native web client is going to be released.

    I will probably follow this other option and drop the ActiveX
