PWB, how is it possible.

Post by Scott »

We have been asked several times, is this legal, how did we do it, did we tear apart Internet Explorer? Yes it is legal, no we did not tear apart IE, see the following article for more information.

How is this all possible?
The WebBrowser control is the main browsing component used by Internet Explorer. Public Web Browser is built using the same technique as Internet Explorer, by employing the Microsoft WebBrowser control.

Microsoft Article detailing this technology
"In the furor over Netscape's release of the Navigator source code, Microsoft's customization options for Internet Explorer often get short shrift. This article discusses how you can reuse Internet Explorer's WebBrowser control in your own applications, both as a platform for building your own browser implementation or, as we feel will become increasingly popular, the user interface for a "traditional" application."
