WOW ActiveX Control 1.6.5

WOW ActiveX Control 1.6.5 offers an effective tool which helps you to enhance the webbrowser control in several important ways that are essential for effective webbrowser control programming. WOW hooks into the COM interfaces of the webbrowser control for the purpose of providing a custom IDocHostUIHandler callback interface to receive events from the webbrowser, and passes them on in the form of COM events. With this new version of WOW, you get all of the events fired from the IDocHostUIHandler and DWebBrowser2Events interfaces to give you much greater control over the webbrowser.

Leverage the power of HTML in your Windows forms
Implementing rich content such as graphics, fonts, colors and buttons in your Windows dialogs and forms is always quite a bit of effort - even with .NET or Visual Basic. There are many issues with placement, resizing and a range of other messy problems. Wouldn't it be great if you could use HTML instead?  Embedding webbrowser controls in webpages is a growing trend these days. These screenshots are from Microsoft .NET Visual Studio.  Microsoft and others are making heavy use of embedded webbrowser controls in their user interfaces these days.  And for good reason:  Look at the results you get with just using HTML.

And with HSP product, you can run standard ASP webpages from within your application to generate HTML dynamically for display in your embedded WOW controls, so you can achieve great looking UIs, like the "Recently Opened Files" list screenshot at left.  And using HSP, you can store all of your HTML content in a single EzStor file.  In fact, you can download this entire website as an EzStor (EzWeb) file and run it with HSP.
