That's great, will be chromium in the three platforms? or webkit in linux /mac?

One thing i found problematic is that ExecuteScript() is asynchronous, in c# you can use async/await but in PB i had to spawn a message loop to make a synchronous version. I hope you found a better solution, don't known if implementing async / await is possible in PB.

Hello Justin: great!great!great!

Even ctrl-shift-i does open development tools!

(Any idea how to bind an external chrome developer via remote debugging? chrome://inspect)

Your implementation is a game changer!

Again: great!
Thanks a lot!!!

Hi HanPBF,
i don't have experience with remote debugging, but it is expained here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools-guide-chromium/remote-debugging/

I tried the Android device debugging and it worked as expected, it did not recognize my android phone at first, i had to follow the steps here: (The Update 24 February 2016 part)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21925992/chrome-devtools-devices-does-not-detect-device-when-plugged-in

Basically i installed the Windows USB driver, the ADB package, and issued 'adb devices' from cmd as explained in the page and it worked.

Is that what you were looking for?

Yes, normally a page shown with a specific port should be enough to remote debug.

But, internal debugger (ctrl-shift-i) should always work.

Thanks!

Updated to 1.0.622.22 SDK, see first post.

Updated to 1.0.674-prerelease SDK, see first post.

The prerelease has introduced static linking of the WebView2Loader.dll, it does not work simply importing it in PB because you have to import all the dependencies.

If anyone wants to try, WebView2LoaderStatic.lib it's in the prerelease folder:

Try:

Code:

Import "WebView2LoaderStatic.lib"
   CreateCoreWebView2Environment(environment_created_handler.i)
   CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions(browserExecutableFolder.s, userDataFolder.s, environmentOptions.i, environment_created_handler.i)
   GetAvailableCoreWebView2BrowserVersionString(browserExecutableFolder.s, versionInfo.i)
   CompareBrowserVersions(version1.s, version2.s, result.i)
EndImport

CreateCoreWebView2Environment(0)

And it will show all the unresolved external symbols, maybe someone can fix it.
