Problem linking stylesheet to embedded MSHTML in Windows 8 CP

Question

I have an application which uses an embedded MSHTML browser control.

I use the IHTMLDocument2.CreateStyleSheet function to link a CSS file to the document.

This works in Window XP to Windows 7, but in Windows 8 I get an out of memory exception from CreateStyleSheet.

As a workaround, I used CreateElement to create a link element and append it to the Head element.

This code runs but the stylesheet is not applied. The workaround code correctly applies the stylesheet in Windows 7.

Any suggestions?

Mike, why not move this to the correct forum instead of moving it to "What is the forum for?"

Mike, I researched this and my conclusion was Windows Desktop Development was the closest fit. It looks to me like a bug in Windows 8 CP and I would like it reported; or if it is not a bug, advice on how to workaround.

Answer 7

Hi Shayan

It is an issue related to Windows Desktop Development because this is a Windows desktop app which embeds MSHTML. However I am grateful to you and your colleague for helping me find the right forum; if you could also find someone to help me with the question that would be great too :-)

Answer 8

Excuse me, Shayan?

I think I cannot got your meaning.

Internet Explorer platform API is in the Web Development part,

It is not a Windows Desktop Api, it is a IE platform Api, and I find no a forum for discussing the IE platform Api usage problem, so we use this forum to ask for help if any experts here can give a suggestion to find a forum for this question.

If there's any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best wishes,

Good suggestion, but it turns out the closest forum here is actually:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ieextensiondevelopment/threads/

having said which the best advice for IE 10 problems is to report it on Connect apparently.
