C Embedded Browsers
ADF Desktop Integration uses an embedded web browser to display web pages from within Microsoft Excel.
The add-in uses an embedded browser to display windows and dialogs such as:
- Login sequence windows
- "Picker" dialogs provided by the add-in. See Adding a Model-Driven List Picker to an ADF Table Component.
- Custom dialogs provided by Fusion Applications. See Displaying Web Pages from a Fusion Web Application. This includes custom Upload options. See Uploading Changes from an ADF Table Component.
- Status viewer task pane. See Using the Status Viewer to Report Error Messages to Business Users.
The add-in uses one of the following two embedded browsers:
- Microsoft WebView2 based on Edge/Chromium
- The .NET WebBrowser control based on Microsoft Internet Explorer technology
To determine which embedded browser is being used, review the basic add-in log files. See About Add-in Log Files.
The add-in uses WebView2 if the appropriate runtime is detected on the local computer. Otherwise, it uses the .NET WebBrowser control. Your default web browser setting in Windows Settings has no effect on the add-in.
