The control is a basic webbrowser control and is by no means perfect. When using the control for surfing the internet, you will notice that it does not respond to Flash objects correctly. With the Flash objects, the control will only rspond once (click) on the Flash object.
The control includes several navigation methods or functions as: Url ,Navigate ,GoBack ,GoForward ,GoHome, GoSearch.
