What is you transparency set to? It should something between 0 and 1.

Set to 1. Tried 0 too. The browser device properties are being read; I can vary the X and Y values and the browser window will move accordingly.

Is there some property value that is blank in the device? Can you take a screen shot of the device properties and values?

Here is a shot of my browser device. I do not currently use the browser, but this is what I was using during debugging:

It appears you're missing ScrollXDistance and ScrollYDistance as a property. Add those to the mix and see what you get.

The following image is yours:

It appears I need to update the .pdf. Adding that to the long list in my iPhone now....tentative available date, 2013...

Sorry, same result. When I get a chance I'll build the device as a Null Device instead of Execute Program Device. Not sure why that would matter, but that's the only difference I see.

I'll try a clean install of the download this weekend and try to see what the problem is. Sorry about this...

OK, I built the browser device as a Null Device. But I don't think that mattered. After reading... and rereading the External Control Device Plugin help file, I changed the ASCII property from Yes to No and that corrected the problem. (It finally sank in that the browser executable was "talking" to the HB server via COM and the help file sorta said that when COM control from external clients was used that ASCII had to set to be No.). One other thing: a correction to the browser PDF: the "Interop.HBControlMod.dll" reference needs to be changed to ""Interop.HBControlModLib.dll"
Thanks for hanging in there with me while I learn.

Anyone using Osler browser (2008) on a Win2k SWRemote? I tried to install the DLLs and got very strange messages... and of course the browser does not work.

Sorry, I missed this the first time around. . . I did install and use it, briefly, but the poor little Intermec was so painfully slow loading Google maps traffic (all I really wanted) that I gave up.

Oeps, found the problem, the name off the Execute Program Device was wrong.
Now it is working well.
