Alternative to WebBrowser control on Windows CE

Welcome, Has anyone know any alternative to WeBrowser control from .NET Compact Framework, which may be used with Windows CE? Unfortunately standard web control from .NET CF 2.0 doesn't work on WinCE. Is any way to present formatted text in embedded control in .NET CF application targeted to Windows CE?

Regards, Grzegorz

The standard WebBrowser control is indeed available for .NetCF 2.0 in Windows CE, but you need to have the corresponding underlying items in your OS image. However, for the specific case of displaying rich text, the RichTextBox from Resco MobileForms Toolkit (http://www.resco.net/default.aspx) might help.

The Smart Device Framework used to have a browser control in it back in the 1.x days. If you go to the product page for the SDF you'll see links down at the bottom for all of the old source code. Version 1.4 would probably be the best bet. You could pull it and look in the OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms project for all of the source for that control. It's been a long time, so I'm not certain it's non-WinMo compatible, but IIRC it was.
