DecSoft (In thread: WebExtension context menu)

Hello John,

We can attach a "contextmenu" event handler to the document body, for example. It's our duty also to add the right HTML code in the document body to conform the menu. Since this can require some CSS rules, and, even when we can add these to the document body from Javascript, I decide to add in DecSoft App Builder the ability to add styles to our WebExtensions contents, in the same way than we already can add Javascript to it.

There is a new release of the product available: please, take a look at it, in particular to the new "WebExtension5" sample app.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2021.17)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2021.17 (11/24/2020)

* Add the new WebExtension5 sample app, which is a modification of the WebExtension sample app that uses the ability to add styles to our WebExtensions apps and show a custom contextual menu when the user right click in the browser's active tab page.

* In the same way that we can use the app's Files manager to add scripts specifically to be used in WebExtensions apps, this release of the product add the ability to add also styles specifically to be used in WebExtensions apps.

* Add the LineHeight CSS rule to be available in the Style inspector of various controls like the PushButton and HTML content control. We can always use the app's style or stylesheet to add any CSS rule, but, a customer of us wants this CSS rule to be available to be set from the control style inspector.

Hello John,

By content page you mean the page of the browser's active tab or you mean one of your app's views?

Hello John,

Always thank you for your trust!

DecSoft (In thread: Extending the Developers Tools)

Hello John,

Humm... please, be sure that you install the WebExtension properly, and then navigate to a new tab in order to see if works as expected: I try the WebExtension4 sample app with Firefox, Chrome and Edge and works as expected. Update Chrome may can help?

* Move the component used for the code editor to another version, which solves certain bug which causes that the app freezes if we try to use certain (very rare, but, useful) CSS rules inside the code editor for the app's style and other CSS code editors. Thanks Asley for the report!

Hello Peter,

Hi David, thank you so much for the new version. This is really great! I uninstalled Edge Runtime and AppBuilder completely on my Win10 Laptop and installed 2021.14. The Debugger runs without problems. Still the scrollbar of the program is missing - but with the new zoom feature I can see everything. Also thank you for the workaround with the Text Input tool, I appreciate this very much!! kind regards Peter

You're welcome, sir! Always thank you for your trust in my work. ;-)
