WEB-BROWSER

A Web-Browser control allows you to embed a native web browser to the screen.

When the focus is on a Web-Browser some keys are trapped by the control and can’t be used to interrupt the ACCEPT of the screen. Two typical examples are the ESC key (caught by the browser as "stop loading" command) and the F5 key (caught by the browser as "refresh" command).

The Web-Browser control is implemented through the third party product DJ. Due to rules inherited from this implementation, at the first display of a Web-Browser a peer JVM is created to manage the native part.

If running under Java7 or later, by setting iscobol.gui.webbrowser.class=com.iscobol.fx.JFXWebBrowser in the configuration it is possible to use the JavaFX WebView control for the Web-Browser implementation. This approach is preferable in most of cases. See iscobol.gui.webbrowser.class for details about the features not supported by JavaFX WebView in order to understand if such control is suitable for your application.
