For IE 3 compatibility in the WebBrowser control , the documentation on the
Microsoft site says :
"The new WebBrowser_V1 object is now included with the WebBrowser control.
This object supports the set of properties, methods, and events that exist
in Internet Explorer 3.0. You can use the WebBrowser_V1 object in a Visual
Basic project to run on computers with either Internet Explorer 3.0 or 4.0
installed."


Has anybody used the WebBrowser_V1 object successfully in VB ?
I've created an VB app which uses the Webbrowser control on a machine that
has IE 3.02 .
While creating the setup for this app , I removed dependency on the
shdocvw.dll (which the webbrowser control uses) , assuming that the app
will be installed on a machine which has IE 3.x or IE 4.x .
When I installed this app on a machine that has IE 4.0 , the app crashed
while invoking the Navigate method of the webbrowser control .
Is there anyway that I can ensure that this app will work on machines
having either IE 3.0 or IE 4.0 ?
Or will I have to install IE 4.0 on my machine , use the new WebBrowser_V1
object of the IE 4.0 webbrowser control in the VB app , to accomplish the
same ??
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated .
Thanks.

I have been trying for some time without success on this. Seems just having
the webbrowser control on the form causes it to expect the MSIE 4 version of
shdocvw.dll, even if you do nothing with it and set up a WebBrowser_V1 object
and link it to the webbrowser control's Application property in order for the
WebBrowser_V1 object to display anything. If anyone knows a way to link the
WebBrowser_V1 to display in an OLE Container control, please let us know!!!
