Internet Explorer Browser Control Host

  • Article

The Microsoft® Internet Explorer browser control host (SHDOCVW) exposes the WebBrowser control to application programmers. The WebBrowser control provides navigation, in-place linking, and management of favorites and history to Internet browsers. The control also exposes interfaces to allow it to be hosted separately as a Microsoft ActiveX® control. Note, however, that the Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET implementation of the WebBrowser control does not include a design-time control. This means that you need to implement the control manually through the Component Object Model (COM) interfaces.

There are a few other differences between the implementation of the browser control host in Windows CE and that of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.

Implementation of the COM interfaces does not include type libraries. As a result, languages and frameworks that require type libraries are not supported.

Because window resizing is not supported, the window resizing events in DWebBrowserEvents2 are disabled.

Similarly, because browser bars are not supported, the RegisterAsBrowser, ShowBrowserBar, and TheaterMode methods in IWebBrowser2 are not functional.

The interfaces and their members are documented for Windows CE .NET Help for C++ programmers. Additional documentation is available at this Microsoft Web site.
