Problem with flash in a webbrowser in a winform

Question

I have the oddest problem (but aren't all programming problems odd?). I have a winform that contains a webbrowser object that opens a website that has flash on it. This winform is running on a touchscreen computer (I can't find the brand or model number).

Here is what I know:

• flash objects embeded in a website that is accessed via the webbrowser object in my winform do not function properly
• said flash objects only react to the first 'click' on them. So the website opens and if I hit a button, that button works but nothing afterward works within the flash object works. If my first 'click' misses a button, nothing works there after.
• trying to 'click' an flash button gives the same response as just hovering over the button
• This isn't a problem with the touch part of the touch screen as using a mouse also gives the same not working right response
• this isn't a problem with the web page as I can open up explorer on the same computer and navigate the webpage just fine from there
• The program also works 100% right on my personal computer so it shouldn't be the program's fault
• if it's not the touch screen fault and not the program's fault, I can't blame anything right now.
• the EXACT same program worked 100% on our old touch screen (which was having other problems so we had to get rid of it).
• Oh, also, surfing just a 'normal' webpage in a webbrowser in the winform works just fine.

Answer 1

We had a similar error and the only solution was to ensure that at least service pack 1 for .NET 2.0 was installed on the client machine.

Hi,

I also got the same problem while developing my windows application.

Create a user defined control as follows :

CODE BEGINS

// CREATE A CLASS AND INHERITS TO WEBBROWSER CLASS

public partial class ucWebBrowser : WebBrowser { public ucWebBrowser() { InitializeComponent(); }

 protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
 {
     switch (m.Msg)
     {
        case 0x021:
        case 0x201:
        case 0x204:
        case 0x207:
            base.DefWndProc(ref m);
        return;
    }
    base.WndProc(ref m);
 }

}

CODE ENDS

Now you can see this control in a Toolbox list. Now click and drag this control on to your winform istead of webbrowser control.
