/ i almost forget about this small program 

[Charles Pegge]

Thanks Aurel, I'll add it it to the collection

[Aurel]

OK Charles...
I must check again JoseRoca code to implement standard browsing functions
and also i must look into Creative Basic source
I hope that will work .

Hi people
There are some good news about o2 browser example..
after all this mumbo jumbo with Atl i decided to gave up of Atl.
Atl is just a template without additional functions....
so i try again create web dll in EBasic and after 2 hour of testing it

looks that i get embeded (attached) browser into main window.
if all goes well i will add standard browser functions...

[Aurel]

and here is as child window so act as control...
i still cannot figured how each time resize attached browser

Hi Aurel,

Your main window should have some callback attached to it that would be exposed to you entirely as an Oxygen WinMain() in Charles' GUI scripts, or as a series of event subs similar to VB6. In any case, you will have access to either a WM_SIZE message or something that would be similar to OnSize()/OnResize()/etc event handler.

This event handler will usually give access to the new width and height of the main window as it is being resized. For example, if you're using WM_SIZE then its associated lParam will store the new width in its low word half, and the new height, in its high word half.

You should use a call to e.g. MoveWindow() or SetWindowPos() WinAPI in this event handler or Case WM_SIZE to resize your child browser window by its own hWnd to a new size proportionately to the changes in the main window's width and height, usually preserving the original aspect ratio of the child browser window.

Analogy: Adding COM support to your BASIC application.



P.S.  I recently owned a 73 Imperial with a 440. It was like a living room on wheels. Sold it when gas prices started approaching $3. A fun highway car. It held the record in town as the longest stock passenger car. It was called John's Green Bean. What a beast!

This is what my car looked like but string bean green.

thanks Mike
I understand very well what i must to do because i have a lot of experience with
controls ..etc
but this situation is not typical .
EB have automatic resize of window with flag @size
i must find value of this flag...i will pos code later and you will see that
is little bit tricky..

Aurel,

In Windows, you can subclass any window with your own callback to get access to its internal message pipe and use its WM_SIZE and other messages for whatever you want. If you can't get or figure out or use any original flag or event handler or whatever of a window, just subclass it and be done with it.

This is how astonishing results are being achieved in VB6 which is otherwise a futile black box designed for dummies.

John,

This baby looks like its hood and front wheels would be leaving the town while its rear is still five hundred yards behind the city line.

Do you also wear a Stetson, neckerchief and cowboy boots to match?

$3 you say? Per gallon? And calling it expensive?!

Recently owned = 8 years ago. 

That baby would lay rubber even as heavy as it was. I had it over 100 on a stretch of Hwy. and still had peddle. If I were ever in a car accident, I would feel bad for the other guy.

what?
where ? in Canada orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?
