Urgent! Web browser ActiveX control size messed up.

[inhaler]

Please help.
The program was compiled in LV7. I use the web browser control to display some html file. Initially I set the size to fit 1024x768 screen. But the customer use the size 800x600 to install the program. after he reset the screen size to 1024x768, the web browser control size is larger than supposed to be. The OS customer uses is Windows 98. IE5.5. My compile environment is LV7.0, OS WinXP, IE6.

I asked the customer to reinstall the program under 1024x768, but the size of control is still larger. Please indicate what the problem could be.

Thanks a lot!

Hello inhaler,

Thank you for your question regarding ActiveX controls. You mentioned that the size of an ActiveX web browser control is not correct when viewed on another machine. It sounds like the application was installed with 800x600 resolution and even after changing the resolution to 1024x768, the size of the control is still too large. I tried to recreate the problem by building an executable in LV 7 (Windows XP, IE6) with an ActiveX web browser control and then run the executable on a Windows 98SE (IE5) machine with 800x600 resolution. The browser was large but this was expected with this resolution setting. After changing the resolution to 1024x768 the browser window seems to be sized the same as the window on the XP machine. In short I wasn�t able to rec
reate the problem you�re having. Could you provide a simplified executable that demonstrates the issue and attach it in a response? I have access to a 98 machine so that I can test the problem that you�ve encountered.

I look forward to hearing from you!

inhaler,

I still wasn't able to reproduce your situation regarding ActiveX containers displaying with the wrong size. However, the problem has been reported and is beening investigated. In the meantime it seems as though this problem does not exsits when using LabVIEW 6.0 or 6.1. This might not be a viable option for you but I thought I'd relay the information. I will continue to attempt to replicate the problem and update this thread if I can find anything.
