    Webbrowser control - How to display Google Chrome in a control

    Post by ddunst »

    Powershell Studio, Version: 5.7.173 on Windows 10
    PowerShell version(s): 5.1.18362.1110

    So the Webbrowser control only supports IE (true?)
    If so, with IE going away, what control can we use to display a website inside of an application developed using Powershell Studio?
    Will Sapien be adding the WebView2 control? (can't post the URL, but you can google WebView2
    Is there another control we should be using?

    Thanks

    You are correct, the WinForms WebBrowser control only supports IE. To have it run the latest version of IE, you need to set it. A snippet as to how to set that can be found in the snippet panel:

    At the moment, the new WebView2 control that was built on the latest version of Edge with Chromium is a preview. This is on our list of things to do, but at this time, this is no timeline as to when this will be added.
