.NET WebBrowser Support

If ADF Desktop Integration cannot find a compatible WebView2 runtime, it uses the .NET WebBrowser control instead. The .NET WebBrowser control is based on Microsoft Internet Explorer technology.

There is no special installation required. This control is part of Microsoft .NET.

Since the .NET WebBrowser control is based on Microsoft Internet Explorer, make sure that Internet Explorer has been upgraded to version 11 and that all Microsoft updates and security patches have been applied.

Note:

Oracle support for the .NET WebBrowser Control is deprecated. You should install the WebView2 runtime as soon as possible.

Technical Notes

If there is a problem displaying a web page—for example, if the page throws a JavaScript error—please contact the page owner. Such pages are outside the scope of ADF Desktop Integration. Let the page owner know that the page needs to be compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer.

When troubleshooting a problem, be sure to pay special attention to your IE configuration. There are key settings under Internet Options that can influence the behavior of ADF Desktop Integration. These settings include the LAN settings, Security settings, Languages settings, and Certificates settings.

To clear the browser cache used by the .NET WebBrowser control, delete your browsing history in Internet Explorer. Refer to View and delete your browsing history in Internet Explorer on the Microsoft Support site.

Note:

ADF Desktop Integration installer sets the FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION feature control key for Excel in the registry to IE 11 mode. See Browser Emulation in the Microsoft Internet Explorer documentation.
