Is there a better/newer version of IE7 clone available

Hi guys,

Perhaps you recal a webbrowser example called IE7 Clone, which was released by Thomas Maxwell in 2007: (Working with the Web Browser Control in Visual Studio 2005 - IE7Clone.)?

Some time ago I made a pretty decent webbrowser out of that, but I was really annoyed by the terrible performance of this source code. It was the reason I stopped developing it, actually.

Now, I was wondering if there is something similar, but newer/better released after that time. I searched the entire internet, but I never found anything even half as full-featured as this code.

If anyone found something, please let me know!

Thanks in advance,

I remember David Maxwell's work very well; for a while, he was about the only in-depth source of information about working with Microsoft's WebBrowser Control.

Have you examined the current MS WebBrowser Control to see if it meets your needs ? [^].

Do search CodeProject: there are several articles here on using the MS WebBrowser Control.

There are some alternative (which I haven't tried):

0. Mono's control, and their API for using various browser engines: [^].

1. EO.WebBrowser for .NET (Chrome in a .NET wrapper): [^].

2. Awesomium: [^].

3. And more: [^]

See the discussion here: ^].

I am well aware of this, but I am more talking about the webbrowser around that control. The browser example was excellent, but the tabcontrol made everything slow as hell in that example.

The controls are interesting and all, but I am currently looking for something similar to the webbrowser he made.

"the tabcontrol made everything slow as hell in that example" Now you are talking about a different issue: the TabControl ? TabControl perceived slowness could reflect a number of factors.

The "Control" wraps the "WebBrowser," not the other way around.

I suggest you revise your question to more accurately reflect what you want: be as specific as possible.
