how to use IE8 with ActiveX_IEhtmlWindow ?

wxPython Users

hello,

Although I don't use IE much, fro windows users it's the only way to embed IE in wxPython.
Until now I was using IE6, but getting more and more troubles with modern websites I decided to
switch to IE8.

Now IE8 is working as it should.

Strange effect is that IEHtmlWindow is using IE7 (not IE6 and not IE8) ???

Looking for files on my C-drive, I see there are more versions of mshtml.dll,
some version 6
some version 8

Does anyone knows how to get IEHtmlWindow "pointed" tot IE8 ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki

Don’t bother using IE of any version. Too many security holes in that darn IE. Ugh! Use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome and live happily ever after. :wink:

Hmm... Perhaps MS has started using a different ActiveX interface for IE 8 and still uses version 7 on the old API for compatibility.
