Web Browser

[Aurel]

in most of compilers / interpreters examples one of the example is how create simple Web Browser.
(Even my crappy Aurel Basic can build Web Browser  )..

Charles...
I have found in freeBasic examples folder called 'Web browser' and i try to compile some of
examples inside this folder in hope that i can translate code to Oxygen.
BUT no one of this programs wont compile or run 
So i  ask you do you can try compile this programs on your computer
that we can see is this even works ...  
looks very strange to me that no one of examples don't respond 

[Charles Pegge]

Ah yes I remember that one from long ago. I see it uses 13 files, no less! It will be good to extract the essentials of this example. I am sure it can be greatly simplified.

[Aurel]

Do you can try this Charles?
Because i don't get it why don't compile on my comp

This may be helpful and a working example in BaCon.

No John..
I need something like in FB example with win api not from iup,webkit...etc..
it just complicate things.
I will search more ..maybe i found direct example from C/C++..

[JRS]

I'm sure there are plenty of wrapper examples out there doing the (only) same thing IUP is doing. Unless you know of some other solution for a ATL based COM container for the MS web browser control, I'm all ears.

I know of this guy down the street that is looking for help building his house. The only requirement is NO power tools allowed and all materials are crafted from rough cut lumber and river rock. You seem like the kind of guy that would be perfect for the job.

 

[Aurel]

But why use something if we can use something from api directly?
I have found few examples in C++ (WebForm)...etc

if i ever want use external lib than i will look into gecko by mozzila...

[JRS]

This may be helpful and a working example in FreeBasic. I did this some time ago so things may have changed with the API since.

[Aurel]

john..
is this thinBasic example or powerbasic example?
looks good
i have found something with mshtml.dll but i must first modify include that work with oxygen...

[JRS]

That is a FreeBasic example (Tiny Browser) running under Wine. (period of my life transitioning to Linux)

If my memory serves me correctly I found a bug compiling the Tiny Browser example that CountingPine (Mathew) resolved. Once again, many moons ago ...

Most promising source reference I've seen so far:

I am working as basis with this webbrowser (as mentioned before from charles with the link above) from jose for my funbasic project (funbasicz_editor). that looks like this one.

I am not ready to convert all features from pbwin to oxygen yet. but for studying source it may help you aurel with some ideas.

Thanks ..
I already look inro jose forum and see this examples...
so it looks that we need CWindow.inc for this browser example..
Looks complicating but maybe is not that much...

[Aurel]

Hmm..i don't have powerBasic but some of you have..
Maybe frank can show as how looks this examples in screenshots that we can see
what is what here...

[Aurel]

I am not sure if will work but i think that is worth to try.
found simple webcontrol by Jeff Glatt for mingW example with source code and
one small dll 3.5kB...
