WebGadget()

[the.weavster]

There is no vanilla webkit implementation afaik. They are either connected to Qt or GTK.

@Fred
How easy would it be to build GTK3 applications for Windows? I'm not suggesting the compiler should include all the *.dll files with this option but if it were possible to set GTK3 as the subsystem on a Windows build on the understanding we've got to source any dependencies ourselves I'd be very happy with that.


Edit:
As this is a bit of a tangent I have posted a new feature request for it.

In reply to Fred:

SB uses your browser for its gadget, it's not the same at all than PB.

I tried, unsuccessfully, to access an HTML5 app with the SB webgadget.
That's why I thought it was using the same one as PB.
If it is supposed to work, then I will try again.

Are you planning on having SB generate CSS and HTML files in the future?
Or are they too alien to be generated from basic?

Use this code to see. it is possible to get your hands on html5 support:

comm5 suggested http://aftermath-creations.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=86.

It does in fact allow HTML5. Unfortunately it uses the ancient PB WebBrowser and IE11 emulation.

Code: Select all

Procedure Start() ;use IE11 as Webgadget html5 
  RegCreateKeyValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", GetFilePart(ProgramFilename()), "11001", #REG_DWORD, ".")
  MainFormShow()
EndProcedure

The problem is that IE is being discontinued and new advances to HTML5 are not being supported.
It is really annoying now and will only get worse.

The only alternative is the webkit libraries..

If I need a JS or render engine(usually for something like web bots) I usually just use .NET. Mostly because I need to interact with dynamic DOM. In PB you have to deal with a lot of COM structs and you still can't do everything with existing PBI.

Whats with WebView2?
I think the WebGadget should use this instead of the old WebView.

As long as Fred doesn't implement it natively, you can use this:
