I have an old application (VC6) that uses CHtmlView in a dialog. It
works fine for online browsing but crashes the app on some sites (e.g.
Wikipedia). Does anyone know if VC6 compiles CHtmlView against IE4 or
does it use a newer version? Also, is there a more up-to-date option
for embedding a browser in a dialog using VC6?

Thank you all.

You can use CHTMLCtrl as shown by Paul Dilascia in MSJ/MSDN. ?(MSJ
issue was Jan 2000).

Code is available here:

OP said he is using VC6. I think therefore the code is ok. For newer
versions of VS it's a bit outdated. I have a patch somewhere and will
post it when I found it back.

It could be, the code worked as late as 2003. I dont think much has
changed but whatever it may be, should be rather simple to fix.

Indeed, it is ather simple to fix. I did it this way and never had
problems with it. The old version doesn't compile with VS2005.

void CHtmlCtrl::OnDestroy()
{
    // This is probably unecessary since ~CHtmlView does it, but
    // safer to mimic CHtmlView::OnDestroy.
/*
    if (m_pBrowserApp) {
        m_pBrowserApp->Release();
        m_pBrowserApp = NULL;
    }
*/
    LPDISPATCH lpd = GetParentBrowser();
    if (lpd)
        lpd->Release();

    CWnd::OnDestroy(); // bypass CView doc/frame stuff
}
