WebGadget Question

How will I know if the page is finished loading in the webgadget?
Second, How can I tell the webgadget to go to the IE home page?
Third, are there ANY events thrown by the webgadget?
I am looking for a way to build a little browser but I can't find some of the key features from the instruction manual. Do I need any dll's that aren't included on a normal install of windows?

Thanks in advanced,

Hello Ryan.

1. If your page is wider than the web gadget, a slider bar will pop up on the right of the gadget. You can watch that resizing itself as the page loads so you will see when it has finished.

2. You can tell the web gadget to go the the home page the same way that you loaded the other pages into it. SetGadgetText(#YourGadget, "http://www.ie.com")

3. The manual says that even the web gadget returns an id to EventGadgetID()

Since it also says that you can use the below to do some action on the gadget, maybe you can check the EventGadgetId for the gadget to see if it returned an ID when any of those actions were done to it, thus checking what and when it happened.

From the manual:

- SetGadgetState(): Do some action on the gadget. The following constants are valid:

#PB_Web_Back : One step back in the navigation.
#PB_Web_Forward: One step forward in the navigation.
#PB_Web_Stop : Stop the current page loading
#PB_Web_Refresh: Refresh the current page

Fangles woz ear orright den?

Code: Select all

WebGadget(#Gadget_Main_Form_Web,0,23,799,533,"[url]http://www.google.com[/url]")...
Select EventGadgetID()
          Case #Gadget_Main_Form_Back_Button
            SetGadgetState(#Gadget_Main_Form_Web, #PB_Web_Back)
          Case #Gadget_Main_Form_Forward_Button
            SetGadgetState(#Gadget_Main_Form_Web, #PB_Web_Forward)
          Case #Gadget_Main_Form_Stop_Button
            SetGadgetState(#Gadget_Main_Form_Web, #PB_Web_Stop)
          Case #Gadget_Main_Form_Refresh_Button
            SetGadgetState(#Gadget_Main_Form_Web, #PB_Web_Refresh)
          Case #Gadget_Main_Form_Web
          Debug "Web Event"
            SetGadgetText(#Gadget_Main_Form_Address_ComboBox, GetGadgetText(#Gadget_Main_Form_Web))

I've modified the PB minibrowser to use a command line parameter as
Home URL. You can put different instances on your desktop and define
opening URL by adding http://domain.com/ as command line parameter in the properties of your desktop icon.
This makes the program more universaly usable ...
