HTML5 in the Windows .net Client

html5 net

The client uses the .net Browser control - which defaults to using the installed version of Internet Explorer in IE7 standards mode. If you're looking to do something more advanced, you can add a registy key to change that behaviour as documented here:

So for example if you have IE9 installed on the PC and want Xibo to use that, you'd add the following key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

XiboClient.exe = (DWORD) 00009000

You could instead put that key in the HKCU hive instead if you wanted to control this per user.

On a 64 bit workstation, you'll need to add this key in the 32 bit part of the registry instead:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
