WebBrowser2

[Dave R]

HI everyone, this is my first post, so please excuse me if it's already been
answere. I am a C++ developer and I have hosted the WebBrowser2 component in
my own application. I have managed to get the webbrowser component to render
and entire web page via the draw function of the IViewObject class. When you
draw to a metafile device context, with the Draw method of the IViewObject,
it seems as though the rendering is a bitmap placed into an EMF. This isn't
always the case, but it seems to depend on the content. The alternate
approach I tried was to get the pBody element and use the rendering facilty
of the element. That will always produce a true EMF with vector components,
however, it seems to be restricted to the height of the display. If you were
in 800 x 600 mode, you would get an EMF that was clipped at 600 high. I
deally I would love to get the IViewObject to render a true vector based EMF
if possible. I am not sure why the internal decision is made as render a
bitmap to the metaDC other then, the entire process is double buffered and
blitted to the destination DC. Any help on this would be really apprecitated.

strange as this may sound, you may get more help with this issue on the
csharp newsgroups since they regularly deal with the browser control.

Alvin,

Thanks for your response. I'll try over in the C# forum.
