Is there any HTML viewer left for VFP to use?

Or is it too late?

WebBrowser still works as long as you stick to classic HTML 5 and ECMAScript 5. If you generate your own HTML for display you can still use this to good effect, but if you need to display live Web content you're likely going to run into trouble.

You can use the new WebView control, but there's no ActiveX control and it needs to be integrated via .NET code. Christof has done a session on this, but it doesn't look trivial - not sure if he ever built a control that's more generically reusable.

Thank you, Rick. I can see we have a challenge ahead of us.
