Does TWebBrowser updates with IE?

Question

I use TwebBrowser in a D7 app. The question is: When I upgrade my IE this component will use the new IE to render the pages?

Answer 1

Yes it does.

When it's created, it requests the system for an instance of the object that is currently configured to implement IWebBrowser2 ({0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}) which will point to the version of IE currently installed.

Not that there is a lot of choice: you cannot have several versions of IE installed side-by-side.

it doesn't mean it will behave exactly the same between versions, though.

Answer 2

Yes.

TWebBrowserinside of the SHDocVw unit internally creates a IWebBrowser2OLE control.

And this interface uses the the installed Internet Explorer (as described here).
