WebGadget vs WebViewGadget

Post by BarryG »

Why two gadgets? Don't they both do the same thing (display a web page)? When should I be using one instead of the other? So confusing.

I'm sure the old gadget will get phased out once the functionality has been implemented and wrapped into the webview2 implementation.

No, I wanted to split these because the WebViewGadget() could have another backend than a raw vewbview (like use WebUI or Sciter). It also allow to split the commands and makes sure there are supported on all OS so the WebViewGadget() behaves the same accross OSes
