webbrowser control in compact framework

Hi,
I am trying to use the webbrowser control in the compact framework. I am
setting a URL to the webbrowser control and am able to see the page in my
handheld device. I have two issues

1. I have a handheld device that scans items and does certain functions
depending on the input. I am required to code the app in such a way that when
I scan an item the page should get submitted. Since the webbrowser.docu ment
property is not valid in the compact framework, I am unable to scroll through
the list of elements in the control by using this property and actually
submit the page. Can someone throw some light as to how this may be achieved.

2. The DocumentText property for the webbrowser control is not working as
expected. I am unable to read the value though I am able to set it. As per
MSDN I should be able to set/get this property.

The first question is very important as it forms a part of the business
process for executing certain steps. I would be delighted to hear of any
reply about this.

Thanks,

Hi,

There is a group for the CF, you can find it in
dotnet.framewor k.compactframew ork

1. I have a handheld device that scans items and does certain functions
depending on the input. I am required to code the app in such a way that when
I scan an item the page should get submitted. Since the webbrowser.docu ment
property is not valid in the compact framework, I am unable to scroll through

submit the page. Can someone throw some light as to how this may be achieved.
It would better if you can simply generate a link like:
http://your_webserver/prod_details.aspx?upc=XXXXXXXXX

you do not need to submit the page you currently have in the browser, just
get a new one :)
2. The DocumentText property for the webbrowser control is not working as
expected. I am unable to read the value though I am able to set it. As per
MSDN I should be able to set/get this property.
Are you sure it's supported in the CF?

CF.NET V2 has a Web Browser control. 1. Will this WebBrowser control work for WinCE 5.0 devices (Built using Platform Builder, and SYSGEN_IE option, No PocketIE, or HtmlView.dll )? Will it use IWebBrowser2 ? 2. Will this WebBrowser control work for PocketPC's with PocketIE (SYSGEN_PIE & SYSGEN_WEBVIEW options, HtmlView.dll) ? Thanks

The .NET WebBrowser control in the Compact Framework 2.0 is a major headache. Once it takes the focus (e.g. by the user tapping on it) it keeps it and keyboard events are not passed to the form anymore even though KeyPreview is set to true. If there are no other controls on the form we don't get them at all to start with. I added a tiny...
