Ok, I seem to be the only one with this problem: "File not found: 'webui-2-x64.lib'"
Do I need to install a specific browser?

The website is dynamically. It fits the window.
Maybe you use a complete javascript editor and simply start the index.html file without modifications.

I would like to setup the window before.

But the developer already want to add this.

WebUI is primary for own UserInterfaces build in html and javascript.
You can try to build an own file with iframe inside, but most websites don't allow this anymore.

Thank you infratec!

I've created a file 'ui\MainWindow.html' - it works! Fun fact: Webui always takes the browser I last used. I happened to have tested it after Firefox and Brave (Chrome) respectively.

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>WhatsMyBrowser.org</title>
    <style>
        body, html {
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
            height: 100%;
            overflow: hidden;
        }
        
        iframe {
            width: 100%;
            height: 100%;
            border: none;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <iframe src="https://www.whatsmybrowser.org" title="WhatsMyBrowser"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Very nice, thank you.
How to show it direct in a browser (for example Chrome) without a extra own window?

The WebUI binaries don't seem to be available. Does anyone have the Windows zip?

You may download compiled binaries for Windows x64 from this official link of the stable version.

Would there be any way to hide the WebUI window?

I had a similar problem until I put "webui-2-x64.dll" in my dev folder.
I thought it would work with the static lib alone?

The code execution cannot proceed because webui-2-x64.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

Hi

I downloaded and tested your example and it works well. I then tried to create a web page in VS Code and saved the file but when I use window_show(my_window , "htm\myfile.html") the windows shows my html but Purebasic exists a few seconds later instead of waiting. The documentation says to add: <script src="/webui.js"></script> to your html files but I cannot find webui.js and wondered if that is why Purebasic is not working with my html page.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi

It turns out that the project has moved to using TypeScript so webui.js is now webui.ts. However, I found that rather than using :

Code: Select all

  webui_show(window,"htm\dCFusnTCPG.htm")
I can use the following and everything works correctly.

Code: Select all

If ReadFile(0,"htm\dCFusnTCPG.htm")
   lcHtm = ReadString(0,#PB_Ascii | #PB_File_IgnoreEOL)
   CloseFile(0)
Else
   lcHTM = ~"<!DOCTYPE html><html lang=\"en\"><head><title>Error</title></head><body>Unable to load file></body></html>"
EndIf   
webui_show(window, lcHtm)

This is actually very nice. Thanks. I assume we can build GUI's in Spiderbasic and use them in PB?

The repo for PureBasic-WebUI is here: https://github.com/webui-dev/purebasic-webui
I found the link to this forum in the readme file. However, the repo is not working, somebody needs to finish it...
I tested the Python one and it's working fine.

By looking at Python examples (https://github.com/webui-dev/python-web ... -editor/ui) I noticed that webui.js file does not need to exist locally, it is a virtual file so.
