Hello,

I am considering the WebBrowser component and so far I have succeded in running a few sample codes in WPF, including certificate error events and new window events.

Great job guys!

Can I ask you, does the component support form autofilling? Something like described here: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142893?hl=en where the browser remembers past values.

I tried to set EnableWebSecurity = false but that didn't help.

Thanks for reading,

Regards,

jim

Hi,

I do not believe EO.WebBrowser supports auto fill. EO.WebBrowser is based on Google Chrome's source code but it only has the "engine" part, not the "shell" part. So many features related to the shell such as address bar auto complete and form auto fill are not included. Sorry about it.

Thanks!

I don't think it supports datalist as well (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_datalist)

I could provide an "autofill" feature with javascript taking advantage of the datalist element.

Shouldn't it work? Browsing to the above link using the tabbedbrowser prooves that it doesn't...

Hi,

DataList is something that we would want to support too, but as you already found out it does not work correctly in the current version. We will look into it and see if we can support it.

Thanks!

I think there isn't any web browser component in the market that supports autofill. I'm not 100% sure though...

Maybe a combined solution, meaning cache + datalist = autofill could work for a future release.
