Notes		  

Characteristics

Due to differences in paradigms and engines' working internals, there are things to note when using the MSHTML engine to render HTML documents:

  • The Screen style sheets are used during the rendering process.
  • Page heights can vary across different pages. Segments of the HTML document are composed dynamically to fit the target rectangle as accurately as possible during each call to Doc.AddImageToChain. This means the target rectangle will be filled with more contents for larger target rectangles instead of scaled to fit.

The Fusion Log Viewer is known to interfere with the initialization of the MSHtml engine. If any problems arise, try disabling it or specify a local custom log path.

Currently, there are some limitations when using the MSHtml engine with IE9:
