WebBrowser enhancements

PowerBuilder 2025 R2 enhances the WebBrowser control with new properties and functions to improve security, privacy, and developer control.

  • DevTools property -- Specifies whether the browser's built-in developer tool is enabled. The default value is TRUE.

    Recommended: Disable DevTools in production environments to prevent users from inspecting or tampering with web content.

  • PasswordAutosave property -- Specifies whether the browser shows the "Save password" prompt when users log in.

    Recommended: Disable PasswordAutosave for high-security applications (e.g., banking, healthcare) to prevent saving sensitive credentials.

  • ClearBrowsingData function -- Provides the ability to clear browsing data programmatically in the WebBrowser control.
