Hi,

Does the WPF WebBrowser control always use Internet Explorer or does it use the default web browser on the system ?

Regards, MadSeb

+3  A: 

Internet Explorer, though there are "hacks" posted on the internet which allow you to use a workaround in order to launch any browser you like.

This thread seems to explain one of the possible solutions.

A bunch of the hacks are explicitly listed and linked-to in the answers to a WPF Browser-related question that I asked a while back: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2940944/wpf-browser-is-there-but-invisible

There is no hack to embed any browser you want in the WebBrowser control... It will always be IE. What you *can* do is to make it open new windows in another browser, rather than IE

thanks guy for replying ...Internet Explorer is the web browser I want in the WPF WebBrowser control...as I want to display a MHT file ( webarchive ) ..So for me it's crucial that the WPF WebBrowser control **ALWAYS USES** Internet Explorer

Than you are one lucky man :)
