webtechnologies supported by embedded activeX browser

[cgrinwis]

Currently we build a web environment with asp.net C# mvc4 with css3 and html 5 and jquery. The activeX control embedded with pvss 3.9 does not show the website in the right layout.
Which web technologies are supported by the embedded activex microsoft web browser control?

Problem solved. The issue is the Web Browser Control. it’s perpetually stuck in IE 7 rendering mode by default. Create a registry key pvss00ui.exe with value 0x2328 (9000)
When the key is available the render mode will be IE9!

mapping in registry for the right key position.

32 bit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\MAIN\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

Value Key: yourapplication.exe

64 bit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\MAIN\\FeatureControl\\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

Value Key: yourapplication.exe

Hi Corne.. I could be wrong here but I think the IE ActiveX that PVSS will load depends on what version of IE you have installed on the machine where you are opening the panel. I have had this problem when I have used the Adobe ActiveX component to open network schematics from within a PVSS panel; it worked fine on the PVSS server that I was developing on but not on the clients as they had a different version of Adobe PDF.

unfortunately, there's no relationship between the installed version of IE and the activeX control. The render mode of the activeX control depends on the setting in the registry.
I also expected the relationship but microsoft forgot to update this key when a update of IE is installed.
