Display a website with trouble... can be too much off-topic

browser.exe (160.05 KB)

Hi,

I dowloaded the 'source' of this article: www.codeproject.com/Articles/3365/Embed-an-HTML-control-in-your-own-window-using-pla

I gave it a try... in VC++ 6.0  and it immediately worked.

I saw two screens with the latest screen the website of Microsoft. Wow , if can embed it in Justbasic ...will be cool.

So, i first started with to make a console application of it...but that worked not good out... too much errors...

So , I tried the code with GUI (with some tricks) and then it worked....(at least a bit)

It resulted in : browser.exe (See the attachment...)

Put browser.exe in the same directory where your .bas file is.

Here my .bas file :


UpperLeftX = 20
UpperLeftY = 20
WindowWidth = 820
WindowHeight = 820

nomainwin





button #scr.b1, "Click for test", [b1], UL, 40, 300,200,60



open "scherm" for  window  as #scr
print #scr, "trapclose [quit]"
''print #scr, "fill black;flush;"

wait

[b1]
result = mkdir( "C:/website")
open "C:/website/web.html" for output as #tf

print #tf,"<a href=http://justbasiccom.proboards.com>http://justbasiccom.proboards.com</a>"
close #tf
   RUN "browser scherm"


wait



[quit]
 close #scr
 end



Call browser.exe with:

RUN "browser scherm"

scherm is the name of the window ,the program i made searches for the name and gets a handle(HWND).

The program makes also a directory: C:\\website\\

In the directory it writes web.html

In the program (browser.exe utility) the location C:\\website\\web.html is given up... so if you not have a C:\ drive  letter, then it will not work for you...

So in general it works a bit...

Till so far, and good luck if you make your own!

(This is a Nightly build    can be bugs in it ,etc)
