hi all,

i want to show browser control in my application for which i have written code

if (iBrCtlInterface == NULL)
{
TRect rect(Position(), Size());
iBrCtlInterface = CreateBrowserControlL( this, 
rect, 
TBrCtlDefs::ECapabilityDisplayScrollBar | TBrCtlDefs::ECapabilityLoadHttpFw,
iCommandBase, 
NULL, 
NULL,
NULL, 
NULL,
NULL);
}

_LIT(KUrl, "file://BrCtlSampleApp/sample1.htm");

iBrCtlInterface->LoadUrlL( KUrl );

which is working perfect on E32,E63 device but not working on N73 device

if any one have face same problem plz let me know

i have implemented this code from sdk example BrCtlSampleApp which is not also working on N73 device

I believe it is the URL format that is the culprit. You need an extra / with file: url scheme, and all those forward slashes need to be converted to backward slashes, as follows:

_LIT(KUrl,"file:///\\BrCtlSampleApp\sample1.htm");

That would still be a relative path, I would suggest you to specify a full URI, something like the following:

_LIT(KUrl, "file:///C:\\BrCtrlSampleApp\\sample1.htm");

To get the Drive on which your application is installed use Application()->AppFullName(), from the class which you have used to implement CAknAppUi or (CxxxAppUi).

AppFullName() returns the full path to where your application in installed. Extracting the drive letter and creating the absolute URI should be trivial, once you've obtained the installation path.
