Hello ADX
I am asking for help because I consider you the experts in Excel, and you have saved us in the past.
I am wondering if you know of a good alternative for using a web browser from within an Excel Addin
1) We need to interact with both the web browser?Â?Ð?és form and also the Excel model. (communication back and forth)
2) We are not able to use the built in .Net Browser Control (System.Windows.Form.WebBrowser) ?Â?Ð?? we do use it at times, but it won?Â?Ð?ét work in this case. |

Hello David,
Could you please explain why do you think System.Windows.Form.WebBrowser won't work for you?
If any sensitive info is involved, you can send me an email to the support email address; see {Add-in Express installation folder}\readme.txt. Please make sure your email contains a link to this topic.

We are using the WebBrowser control to successfully interact with our ADX Excel Addin. However, we have experienced several problems with it on client computers. These are usually javascript issues. For example, on some client computers, the javascript ".focus()" function is not supported, which is very odd. The next feature we are building relies heavily on javascript, so we are looking for another option that uses a more current browser engine. Thank you for taking some time to answer my question. ADX has been a great tool for us. |

Hello David,
Thank you for the kind words!
System.Windows.Form.WebBrowser is the only component which works more or less correctly. We've heard of another component - was it Chrome-related? - which worked even worse.
I suppose the issues that you have may be induced by the Javascript code, say, if the code isn't IE-specific. I suggest that you look in your Javascript code to find what causes the issues. For instance, you can simplify the code to find if focus() is really supported or not.

Hi,Andrei, here is Forrest, from China. I try my best to describe in Eng.
I just had some similar confused issues about web browser,(may be not web browser) .
I had done an add-in, data_chart, interacting with both the web browser(like google map) and the Excel model.
as you know, it's not so convenient, several sheets for one pane/browser, when I try create one new chart I have to clear the last one, for there is just one pane, one browser.
So I wonder is there some method to create the chart like build-in chart with ADX? and the chart would be able to interact with the web(may be not browser, I just can't describe exactly, so I attached a photo.
I do know Office App can do this, but it's really hard to me.
It's really confuse me for a long time, hope has some good news...
Thanks.enjoy life |

You can create one more pane showing a WebBrowser component.

Add-in Express doesn't contain anything that you could use to create a chart. You should create a chart using the Excel object model.
