WebViewGadget ignores WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS

[mve001]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a WebViewGadget that honors the settings passed through WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS, specifically "--force-device-scale-factor=1".

Currently, WebGadget does honor the setting, WebViewGadget does not. I am running PureBasic 6.12 LTS on Windows 11.

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 1024, 1024, "WebGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) 
    SetEnvironmentVariable("WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS", "--force-device-scale-factor=1")
    
    ; does respect WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS
    ; WebGadget(0, 0, 0, 1024, 1024, "https://www.purebasic.com", #PB_Web_Edge) 
    
    ; doesn't respect WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS
    WebViewGadget(0, 0, 0, 1024, 1024)
    SetGadgetText(0, "https://www.purebasic.com")

    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
EndIf

Is this a bug or by design?

It's not really a bug because we also use this env var to setup the WebViewGadget() but I admit it should be better to mix content instead of replacing it.

Thanks for your swift reply. I'd have no problem using WebGadget over WebViewGadget except WebGadget does not support "BindWebViewCallback" or "WebViewExecuteScript". Does this mean WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS will work with WebViewGadget in a future update?

I will try to do it

I don't know if it will help you, but I've now slightly modified the code from

viewtopic.php?p=618050&hilit=CreateCore ... ns#p618050

by adding

Code: Select all

SetEnvironmentVariable("WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS", "--force-device-scale-factor=1")

to both

Code: Select all

My_CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions

and

Code: Select all

My_CreateWebViewEnvironmentWithOptionsInternal

Now WebViewGadget respects the setting.
