FAQ2137C.txt How to add the IE4.0 TWebBrowser Control
Category :VCL
Platform :All
Product :C++Builder 1.x
Question:
When I try to install the TWebBrowser from the IE4.0 internet
controls and I get RLINK32 errors. How do I install this
control?
Answer:
Here is a short listing of what you have to do in order to use
TWebBrowser:
- Install Microsofts IE 4.01 (Build 4.72...) IE 4.0 has a bug
concerning keyboard input
- Use Components | Install | ActiveX, choose Micorsoft Internet
Controls, TWebBrowser and TShellFolderViewOC shows up under
classname, push OK in the OLE Controls import dialog box.
- do not yet go to OK in the Components install Dialogbox,
this would lead to the often reported RLINK32 out of memeory
error
- delete the file SHDOCVW.DCR in the Cbuilder\LIB directory.
- now go to OK in the Components install Dialogbox, this starts
the recompilation of the libs
- in the SHDOCVW.HPP file in the Cbuilder\LIB directory you have
to change in Line 208 from
/* TWinControl.CreateParented */
__fastcall TWebBrowser(HWND ParentWindow):
Olectrls::TOleControl(
to
/* TWinControl.CreateParented */
__fastcall TWebBrowser(HANDLE
ParentWindow) : Olectrls::TOleControl(
- now you can use the TWebBrowser Component
-Example:
Variant A=0,B=0,C=0,D=0;
WebBrowser1->Height=450;
WebBrowser1->Width=600;
// WebBrowser1->Navigate("https://111.111.111.111/",A,B,C,D);
WebBrowser1->Navigate("c:/Eigene Dateien/HTML/Fbt/index.html",A,B,C,D);
-even https works fine
