PBWebView2 & WebView2Gadget

thanks for providing the new package! However, the Examples folder does not seem to be included(?)

[infratec]

I only provided the WebView2Gadget() as replacement for the PB WebGadget().
So I reduced the zip file to the minimum which is required to run and show the WebView2Gadget().

Inside of the WebView2Gadget.pbi is an example. If you load this file and run it, it will show 2 Gadgets and different possibilities to handle them.

You get this:

Code: Select all

Error

WebView2 DLL not loaded

OK

Is WebView2 runtime installed?
In Win 10 this should be the cas if your PC is up to date.
But check it in the software control paneL
It is called: Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime

If not, you have to install it.

Oh, and if you use PB x64 you have to copy the WebView2Loader.dll from the x64 subdirectory.

[BarryG]

Oh, okay. I thought I could unzip the folder and just run that puppy. Never mind, then.

[infratec]

If you use PB x86, that's the case.

[BarryG]

I see. Nah, I only use 64-bit these days.

Tia ,
I downloaded the latest https://github.com/omegakode/PBWebview2 .
But when I compile Ohm.pb (PBWebview2-master\examples\Ohm Browser) ,
I get the following Error:
Line 258: Structure not found: ffi_cif ,
in PB_Host_Object.pb , line 258 =

Code: Select all

Protected.ffi_cif cif

.
Pls , what can I do to get past this ?
Thanks for your help...

[infratec]

You have to include ffi.pbi

Tia :
I notice a difference in behavior between how
Chrome and MsEdge handles youtube.com vs how
Ohm handles 'clicking' on an 'on page link' .

With Chrome and MsEdge , clicking on a link
results in a change to the 'address bar' ,
showing the updated/requested URL of the 'clicked on link' .

WIth Ohm , it doesn't show the updated URL of the 'clicked on link' .
With my changes to Ohm , I need to check this requested link against a file of 'safe links' to determine if it is a 'safe link' .

I checked Ohm against youtube alternatives , and they all update the 'address bar' .

youtube is doing something to keep user on their site .

Is there a way to catch a 'requested link' for youtube.com .

Actually it might be better to capture
clicking on an 'on page link' (for any page) and
then check if it is a 'safe site' and
don't even start Navigaton if site is unsafe .
I know how to do that in javascript , but how can I do that in PB ?

Thanks for your help...

You can look at the NavigationCallback().

Doesn't the NavigationStarting event do what you want?
