Is there an easy way to embed a Firefox browser in a form? I think I know
how
to do it with IE but firefox would be better for my needs. Thanks!
I actually don't recommend you attempt this at all. The browser can be
trying to render a page, and you hit the close button, or stat hitting the
navigation buttons...and now are moving to a different record..and the
browser control gets rather behind, if not totally confused. Embedding a
browser in a form is like pouring gasoline inside of a plane and giving
everyone cigarettes to smoke...it just asking for VERY VERY unreliably
setup....
Any kind of FREQUENT update to the browser is likely to break your
application. The end result is that you have a an incredibly un-reliable
application that simply freezes up, uses tons of resources..and is simply
hard to maintain..
If you need to display, or have a browser launch, simply place a button on
the form when pressed it launches the browser to display the particular
page of information. Don't even go near tying to place a browser inside of a
form...it just a bad idea that will make you look foolish with an
application that will near zero reliability......
Don't do it.....
