Example 
// make sure we don't end up with Internet Explorer in version 7, which is default.
Dim v As Integer = IEWebBrowserMBS.GetInternetExplorerVersion

If v < 11000 Then // below version 11.0
  
  Dim b As Boolean = IEWebBrowserMBS.SetInternetExplorerVersion(11000)
  If b Then
    MsgBox "Requested Internet Explorer version 11.0."
  Else
    MsgBox "Failed to set IE version?"

By default Xojo uses IE7 for the HTMLViewer, even if you have version 11 enabled.
