My Excel add in with custom functions using a shared runtime was happily chugging along with the IE11 webview, until about a week ago when it stopped working because it started running only on the Edgium webview.
I think the documentation still says the expected webview is IE11 in the shared runtimes page, but the webviews page could be interpreted as saying it's the edge2 webview.
Did anybody else see the same effect? I mean, that's great if it works (My add in has other problems now, and I can't fully test), I just didn't expect it.
It is a feature. See this note from the article Browsers used by Office Add-ins
If your add-in includes the <Runtimes> element in the manifest, then it will not use Microsoft Edge with the original WebView (EdgeHTML). If the conditions for using Microsoft Edge with WebView2 (Chromium-based) are met, then the add-in uses that browser. Otherwise, it uses Internet Explorer 11 regardless of the Windows or Microsoft 365 version. For more information, see Runtimes.
Does anyone know which browser Outlook-web uses for addins on a mac?
background: I am developing an addin for outlook web on a mac and I'm making use of a bootstrap collapsable panel. I also have two icons that I want to have to the left and right of the title, however, the anchor tag used to expand / collapse the panel is forcing a line break. I am wondering if this issue is something in my css or a browser issue since setting display: inline on the anchor tag does nothing.
According to MS documentation Webkit rendering engine is used, which is nothing but the Safari browser (with limited functionality) is used.
According to Microsoft
Any browser that supports ECMAScript 5.1, HTML5, and CSS3, such as
Internet Explorer 11 or later, or the latest version of Microsoft
Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (Mac OS).
I have created activex control using MFC in visual c++ 2008.
As activex supported only by IE....
I want to create installer that can run my activex no matter which OS or which browser.
Please suggest me how to create an installer?
ActiveX is only supported via Internet Explorer. Depending on your needs, something like a pure HTML + Javascript website or possibly a Flash component might work.
It is possible to embed the 'Internet Explorer Web Browser' in an Excel Sheet using the Microsoft Web Browser Object. How does one Embed Google Chrome or Firefox in an Excel Sheet?
There is a project to provide a Mozilla ActiveX control matching the IE Web Browser Control Interface as much as possible. I am not following the progress but its supported version seems dated.
As for Chrome you could check out Chromium Embedded but it doesn't seem to support ActiveX so you would have to work something out using the .NET binding (CefSharp) in combination with VSTO and WinForms.
I have used CefSharp with WinForms application and it works quite well.
The samples are good for a quick start.
How to fix this error in SharePoint:
"The list cannot be displayed in
Datasheet view. A datasheet component
compatible with Windows SharePoint
Services is not installed, your
browser does not support ActiveX
controls, or support for ActiveX
controls
It started to days ago, for apparently no reason. ActiveX is enabled on this site and I had everything working fine so far. Not sure what went wrong.
Thanks,
... from IE check out your Internet Options, and look under 'Programs'->'Manage Add-Ons'
When I had this problem it was because an add-on was missing or disabled... * thinks * "Microsoft Office List 12.0" or something.
I was getting the below in SharePoint 2010.
The Standard View of your list is being displayed because your browser
does not support running ActiveX controls.
Turns out the site (master page) was being rendered in IE9 mode and the datasheet supports only up to IE8.
The datasheet mode can be used temporarily by switching the Document mode and the User agent string both to IE 8, or permanently by using the meta tag X-UA-Compatible IE=8.
This is known issue and you have to install the hotfix provided by Microsoft.
The issue is addressed in the below specified link along with the URL for the hotfix.

This link helped me and it worked fine. Our environment was Windows 7 64bit and MS office 64bit as well, after installing this connectivity tools, user had a option edit the data sheet view in sharepoint.
I ran into the same issue after updating to Office 365 but remaining with IE 11 and Sharepoint 2010.
Issue:
using a 64-bit version of Office with a 32-bit version of IE

Seems like a client/browser problem.. do you have Microsoft Office installed? Did you change security settings in Internet Explorer?
My environment is SP2010 enterprise and after trying several solutions, I realized that the user that could not see the views in Datasheet style was because did not have installed "Microsoft Access" that is required when you are using views in datasheet style. So the solution for me was to upgrade that specific user from Office Standard to Office Professional
For me, I performed the following and it worked for me:
Open Control Panel and open Programs and Features
Find your instance of Microsoft Office and select it
Click change at the top
On the dialog that comes up, click Add or Remove Features and then continue
Make sure Microsoft Access Web Datasheet Component is installed under Office Tools/Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support
Even if it is showing as installed, click Continue.
Let everything install, close any office programs out, then try again
These steps worked for me.
