Description

The WebBrowser control is used to present information and help pages built in HTML in a web browser in the CWT 2120 display. This control allows the creator of the user interface to add more flexible information pages in HTML. Such pages are, typically, used to display help information and guides on how to use the terminal.

 

Properties

Height

Unsigned integer. Value range 0–480.

Defines the height on the display.

Location

Type/Value: String in format “X,Y” where X and Y are both unsigned integers. Value range for X is 0–640 and value range for Y is 0–480.

Description:The Location property specifies where the web browser shall be placed in relation to the parent control. If a web browser is defined in a panel the Location property will specify the web browser's position within the panel.

Set a local URL as the path to the HTML file like
"\Storage Card\Media\html\index.htm”.
