I am working on an old MFC project. Users are using Windows 7 they are expierincing the following problem which does not occur on Windows XP:

The MFC application hosts a CHtmlView which presents a custom HTML site located as a file on the disk. This html document heavily uses Javascript. Wenn you start the program and the CHtmlView control is displayed, in some cases – for example after a fresh reboot – the HTML file is not properly displayed.

Refreshing the site using F5 or minimizing the application and maximizing it again solves this issue.

I know that CHtmlView is using an ActiveX Control and thus I have tried to change system settings for IE. But this did not solve the problem altogether. The issue after a reboot still remains.

All help is appreciated.

If you need more information, feel free to ask.

    Are you running Internet Explorer 9.0 on the problematic client? They changed some of the WM_PAINT logic as of that version, so I think you need at least MFC 10.0 to avoid weird drawing artifacts.

    I’ve heard about similar issues before, but I’m still just guessing here 🙂
