You might want to look into WebKitX. It's a chromium based ActiveX Control and is used in some other industrial automation solutions as well. Just make sure to grab the 32 bit variant as Citect is 32 bit.
I have not tried it myself yet and it's not free, but comes with a 30 day evaluation period.
Thank you Patrick,
Yes, it's not free... and there is no evaluation period on VM machines.
I try in my host machine with exel, just for test, and woked.
I was hopping for something free
Well depending upon the site/web application you want to view (and maintaining this solution), sometimes the following work-around can be used:
Add a new DWORD "Citect32.exe" into
registry (\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION ) and set the value to
11000 (Decimal).
That will tell the Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX to emulate the version on your OS, by default it is version 6 or something.
Bradley's suggestion might be a better alternative indeed.
At first I thought that IE could do HTML5 at all, but IE 10 and up are supporting most of this standard, so it seems.
Some HTML5 features might not work in the IE control, according to some forums (like video content).
On a 64bit OS you might have to use the following key though:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
A decimal value of 11001 might work also. It forces IE11 mode for all pages if IE11 is installed ofcourse.
Tank you Bradley and Patrick,
I did as both of you suggested but didn't solve my problem. I still have script errors.
Does someone have another solution?
We have used the IE ActiveX in several Citect applications. The information at the following link has allowed us to successfully apply this ActiveX. https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2011/may/21/web-browser-control-specifying-the-ie-version#Summary
