Get HTML code from web object

[reteset]

if system is x64 then

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", "autorun.exe", "9000", REG_DWORD);

because IE will read the value from Wow64 node

if system is x86 then

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", "autorun.exe", "9000", REG_DWORD);

where autorun.exe specifies your real application name

and here is the test result on Windows8 x64

Hmm.. the problem with setting the registry value is it requires administrator privilege level.
Is there a way to do this as invoker(default)? My application runs as invoker on a corporate environment. Administrator privilege is not always available.

you should do it in application installation which is right time to do such a task

OK , In programming there is always an alternative

you can run your app as administrator even if you set it as run as Invoker
you just need to restart your application with Shell.Execute() with the verb runas and pass a commandline argument

see attached example

@All
adding your application name to FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION node
will disable those annoying error messages which appear on Buil-in Web Object ,IExplorer Plugin and when web browser hosted by ActiveX plugin
in addition web page will be showed by latest available internet explorer version instead of in IE 7 mode that was causing visual problems etc..

here is example :

local RegPath = "";
	if( System.Is64BitOS()) then
		RegPath = "Software\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION";	
	else
		RegPath = "Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION";
	end
	if( Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, RegPath, _SourceFilename, true) == "") then
		Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, RegPath, _SourceFilename, "9000", REG_DWORD);
		if(Application.GetLastError() == 0) then
			Dialog.Message("Notice", "This task completed successfully", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
		end
	else
		Dialog.Message("Notice", "This task was already completed", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
	end

Hi got the problem... ty reteset, great help

[Stephen G.]

Is there a way to include window tabs with the plugin object?

For example: The user clicks on a link within the plugin object opening a new tab within the same object rather than opening a new iexplorer window outside of the plugin object.

I want to contain all web browsing within a single web object.

It seems this will notwork if I execute this onStartup and the user has no admin rights or can this reg entry only be changed as admin? It did not create one for me when the app was not run as admin.
With Admin rights it was added and working after restarting my app.

But without the web object says it cant display HTML5 content (but it worked in another project, but was some other html5 code) and IE7 is just too old. Is there no other way to enable the latest IE version? (without admin rights)

After applying this fix "DisableScrollbars" does not work anymore. :(
