I have an old application (VC6) that uses CHtmlView in a dialog. =

works fine for online browsing but crashes the app on some sites =

(e.g.

Wikipedia). Does anyone know if VC6 compiles CHtmlView against IE=

does it use a newer version? Also, is there a more up-to-date opt=

for embedding a browser in a dialog using VC6?

Thank you all.

You can use CHTMLCtrl as shown by Paul Dilascia in MSJ/MSDN. (MS=

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versions of VS it's a bit outdated.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

}

Thank you for taking the time to post this code.
