WebBrowser ActiveX Control
Is anyone happily using the MS WebBrowser control to browse files and
folders on an Access form?
My database allows for the creation of a customer folder where a variety of
files can be stored. These could be quotes, letters, photos etc but they
are all stored in this one folder and need to be displayed on the customer
form. Having considered a number of alternatives (from writing my own code
and using only native Access controls through to buying 3rd party controls)
I have decided I woul like to use the MS control.
It currently does about 90% of the work I need it to and it has some very
useful extras - arranging the items in groups, displaying thumbnails, WinXP
taskpanes, drag and drop e-mails from Outlook, etc. However, ther are some
very simple things I have got nowhere with. For example, I would like to
have a setting to keep the files displayed in descending date modified order
as I move from record to record. I have not even managed to kludge this
with SendKeys or similar.
I have Googled widely and although there is some MS documentation on this
control, I have found absolutely nothing about how I might accomplish this
pretty basic requirement to keep the files sorted.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback or tips from other Access folks who
have used this contol in this way. |
