Open an HTML file from PB App

[tinac99]

hi,

I am trying to open an html file named "c:\program files\sample.htm" from a PB application, to be displayed to the screen.
I tried the following code:

oleobject ole_doc
ole_doc = create oleobject
ole_doc.ConnectToNewObject"InternetExplorer.Application.1&quot
ole_doc.Documents.Open("c:\program files\sample.htm&quot

The last line returns the error "Name not found accessing external object property documents." But the path and filename exists in the computer.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my script or suggest a workaround?

Thanks...

Can you not use the PB OLE Control, specifying the MS browser ole control?

If that's not viable, I got the ole object to load the document using

ole_doc.Navigate("c:\program files\sample.htm")

instead.

Check the PB object browser OLE tab.

This site exposes a few of the ie ole object methods available :

Might help.

Cheers.

Try this:

This uses the MS Web Browser OCX.

When you place the .OCX on the window, put it at the upper left to make the resize event work right.

It works fine for a local .html file too.
