Use

An IFrame control is essentially a browser window within your form. It's URL can be set statically in Designer or dynamically at run-time. An IFrame can be used to display a specific web page, perhaps a page from your company web site, or a standalone HTML page that is part of your current solution.

ClosedCommon IFrame Tasks
Inserting an IFrame Control
  1. Open the relevant screen in Design () mode.
  2. Select Insert | IFrame () from the main menu, then use your cursor to draw the graphic area on the screen.
  3. With the control selected, click on the URL field in the Properties pane and enter the address of the web page you wish to display in the control. Any URL must be prefixed with http:// or https://.
BE AWARE THAT:

Not all websites permit iframe embedding. If you attempt to load a page that does not support iframe embedding, a browser error page will be generated in the control.

Displaying a local HTML file
  1. Insert an IFrame control on your form.
  2. With the IFrame control selected, select the HTML field in the Properties pane and browse to the location of the local HTML file you wish to display in the control.
  3. The path of the file will be relative to your solution path, i.e. C:\ProgramData\Newlook 11.1.
BE AWARE THAT:

If you are specifying a local HTML file, this file must reside within your Newlook solution folder. For Newlook Smartclient this will be C:\ProgramData\Newlook 11.1, for Newlook Server this will be C:\inetpub\wwwroot\newlookserver11.1\Solutions.
