We have a legacy VB6 app that makes use of the IE browser ActiveX control (Shdocvw.dll). Will Chrome Frame work correctly when a web page is requested via the ActiveX control as opposed to a full stand-alone IE instance?
Thanks

I have a website developed using Kendo UI(kendoui.professional.2017.1.118.commercial). The Kendo icons(Grid Edit(k-i-edit) and delete command button icons and calendar control icons and grid pager icons, etc.) are not visible when i open my website in Microsoft Browser Control where as if i open the website in Internet Explorer browser the icons are displayed.
Observed the following:
I am using Windows Server 2012 R2 OS where the IE Enhanced Security Configuration is "ON". If i make this "OFF", able to see the icons in the Web Browser control.
Is there any workaround to display the icons in Web browser control with out making IE Enhanced Security Configuration Off?
Is there any way to programmatically click on the Yes button in the IE ActiveX Popup window using Watir.
Per the documentation, this is not possible:
Watir will drive web applications that are served up as HTML pages in a web browser. Watir will not work with ActiveX plugin components, Java Applets, Macromedia Flash, or other plugin applications. To determine whether Watir can be used to automate a part of a web application, right click on the object and see if the View Source menu option is available. If you can view the HTML source, that object can be automated using Watir
I need to put in simple Win32 program kind of ability to view web pages. It must be just window with page in it, no browser adress bars or other elements, just working web page in win32 window without any standart browser elements.
It seems that i need some kind of project, that gives me some way to embed chromium engine (chromium most likely) in to win32 api, and, obviously, give the full controls over the messages and other stuff that going to that "browser" window. I was looking at CEF project http://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/ , but will it fit, or any other suggestions?
My (unfortunate) suggestion is to use IWebBrowser2 if you just want to use the Internet Explorer control.
Example can be seen here:

I've been trying to figure out how BrowserStack has added Firebug Lite as an extension to IE 7/8 but cannot seem to find anything that does this. See the image below and note how Firebug icon appears as button in the toolbar.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? I know how to add it to my Favorites, but I want the icon to appear in the toolbar along with the other buttons (by going to Tools -> Customize Toolbar)
It's a Browser Helper Object. The development steps are to add the icon, bind the click event to the browser, and inject the script content.

I want to know how Internet Explorer(or other Browser such as Chrome and Firefox running on Windows) displays the text content of a HTML. Does it ultimately call the TextOut(hdc,x,y,psText,iLength) Win32 GDI API Function as other windows applications do ?
I failed to draw text with ClearType using GDI.So I wonder whether Internet Explorer using a different Text-Rendering Engine or not.
IE9 uses DirectWrite for its text display; earlier versions used GDI functions.
