Opening Google Maps from PB application running through Citrix

I have the following situation:

I need to open Google Maps from a PowerBuilder application (dev version 10.2.1), to locate a specific addresses. When I do it by running the application locally, everything works fine.

However, when running the application through Citrix, the it displays the following message: "It looks like you have enabled Internet Explorer Compatibility View. Google Maps will not work unless this is turned off".

I want to clarify that running the application locally, IE compatibility mode can be enabled and the same message does not come out.

One hypothesis I have is to disable IE compatibility mode, but I am not sure how to do it.

I am using an UO "Microsoft Web Browser", which I understand that by default it has compatibility with IE7.

To add the URL to the user object I am using ole_browser.object.Navigate (as_url, 0,0,0,0).


Thanks

I had the same problem in my local environment.

Here you can find an article about setting the compatibility mode.

I used another solution: I open google maps in a IFRAME and set the compatibility in the surrounding page.

Here the code that creates a dynamic page:

// function or event where you want to load the page
// load blank page and add the google maps url as parameter
string ls_url
ls_url = ...
Object.Navigate ("about:blank?" + ls_url)


// Event documentcomplete of the browser control
string ls_url, ls_html

IF left (aa_url, 12) = "about:blank?" THEN
    ls_url = Mid (aa_url, 13)

    ls_html = '<!DOCTYPE html>~r~n' + &
                '<html>~r~n' + &
                '<head>~r~n' + &
                '<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />~r~n' + &
                '<style>~r~n' + &
                'html, body, iframe {height: 100%; margin: 0;}~r~n' + &
                '</style>~r~n' + &
                '</head>~r~n' + &
                '<body>~r~n' + &
                '<iframe src="' + ls_url + '" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" style="border:0"></iframe>~r~n' + &
                '</body>~r~n' + &
                '</html>'
    
    TRY
        Object.Document.Open ()
        Object.Document.Write (ls_html)
        Object.Document.Close ()
        Object.Refresh()
    CATCH (throwable e)
        // error handling if you want
    END TRY
END IF
