John Clarke (In thread: Web Browser embedded in my application)

Is it possible to have a web browser embedded in my application? The idea is that I would have a panel on the application that would be the web browser and A text box for entering a URL.

When I enter a URL into the text box and press enter the website will be displayed on the web browser on the panel

I would appreciate all advice offered regarding this

John Clarke (In thread: Javascript functions and UI Objects)

In the Show event of my view I have the following code

// Update the code UI Component
function updateUICodeDisplay(codeValue)
{
   views.headerHTML.automationcode.value = codeValue;
}

In this view I also make use of a function that is stored within an eternal JS file.

How can I get the function in the external JS file to update the value in views.headerHTML.automationcode.value ?

John Clarke (In thread: External JS Files and Web Extensions)

I think I have found an issue. An external JS file's functionality could be used in a view, in a background script, in a content script or in all 3. Currently if I leave Is Content as false my views show functionality can use the JS File but the WebExtContent cannot. And if I set Is Content to True the WebExcontent can use the JS File but now the view cannot. How can this be solved ?

John Clarke (In thread: External JS Files and Web Extensions)

That is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for this new feature.

John Clarke (In thread: External JS Files and Web Extensions)

I have an external JS file that contains some object orientated style Javascript code. This has been set up in the File Manager. In my code on the WebExtBackground I want to be able to use the code from the external JS file and say

pageObjectsFactoryObj = new PageObjectsFactory();

However, I get a Javascript Error. If I use the same create object code on the WebExtMessage I get no errors.

I would appreciate all advice offered regarding this

John Clarke (In thread: Version Control)

Will you be adding the ability to add projects to a Git, Github or Subversion repository in a future edition ?

John Clarke (In thread: Screen dimensions for a Desktop Application)

Quick question. What would you consider to be the best screen dimensions for a Desktop Application?

John Clarke (In thread: Broswer Plugin - Sending message from Content to the Plugin)

I think I have a working solution. I will email it to you.

John Clarke (In thread: Broswer Plugin - Sending message from Content to the Plugin)

In my plugin I have attached an event to all anchor tags on the content by using the following code :

 
  // Locate all of the hyperlinks on the page
   var hyperlinks = document.querySelectorAll('a');

   // Loop through all of the hyperlinks adding the hyperlinkHandler
    Array.from(hyperlinks).forEach(hyperlink => {
    hyperlink.addEventListener('click', hyperLinkHandler);
  });

My event for the hyperLinkHandler is as follows :


function hyperLinkHandler(event)
{

  // Prevent the event from bubbling up
  event.preventDefault();

  // Log to console
  console.log(event.target.href);  

  // Send the message object
  chrome.runtime.sendMessage("hyperlink clicked");
}

althought the console.log works the chrome.runtime.sendMessage isn't sending the message to the WebExtMessage event in order to be gathered by the plugin.

How can I fix this ?

John Clarke (In thread: Menu Bars for Applications)

I am interested in creating a Desktop application using your tool that has a menu bar at the top similar to the sort you would see in applications like Microsoft word e.g

What would be the easiest way to achieve this ?

John Clarke (In thread: Determine when an application or browser plugin is closed)

What event do I use to determine when an application or a browser plugin has been closed ?

John Clarke (In thread: Variables in Apps and Browser Plugins)

I have a couple of questions regarding using variables within applications and browser plugins. These are as follows :

Applications

1.If I want a variable that is Global for the whole application (one that I can reference on all views) where do I define it ?
2.If I want a variable that is Global for the view only where do I define it ?

Browser Plugins

1. When I use the WebExtMessage and WebExtContent and I want to update variable values for the view do I have to do the following :

a. Set the variables using chrome.storage.local.set
b. On the view show event get them using app.getOption

Or can I directly access the variables set on the view of the plugin?

John Clarke (In thread: Browser Plugins and WebExtContent)

Just an update. I figured out the solution. I added the following code to WebExtContent

chrome.runtime.sendMessage("Add this text to gui");

then in WebExtMessage I added this code

views.viewname.textareabox.value += message;

and that solved the issue.

John Clarke (In thread: Tabs on Form Designer)

When I open the form designer the dialogs for items like views, properties, etc are all open. Is there anyway to set it up so that they are collapsed and on the side bar all the time without me needing to close them when I open a design view ?

John Clarke (In thread: Browser Plugins and WebExtContent)

My browser plugin has a simple UI that contains a textarea. When functionality is executed on WebExtContent I want it to add text to this textarea on the plugin. What is the best way to achieve this ?
