  • Use Web Browser as Dialog

    I remember seeing a post on here once about using the IE browser as a dialog for an application. I've searched and found a few postings by Lance Edmonds and a few others, but they're not what I was looking for.

    If anyone remembers or can find this, it would be greatly appreciated.

      Hey Edwin, it's been a long time. I'll take a look at it. I have a piece of code in my files I called "Web GUI Example", but I don't know who posted it, or what it was originally called. This is kind of like remembering you left your car keys in the house, but you can't remember where, and you can't find them!

        It was Jose Roca

        PowerBASIC and related source code. Please do not post questions or discussions, just source code.
