Hi,

I create a small application with htmlviewer.
Load page on open event.
The page have a widget
Under mac there no problem but under windows the widget don’t start
Is there a difference betwen win and mac htmlviewer ?
I did compilation for Windows under .Mac and windows. Nothing works under Windows.

Thanks

by default htmlviewer on Windows uses IE 9. Maybe widget is not for Internet Explorer?

5

Yes

Go into HTMLViewer inspector. Under Renderer select WebKit

See here for versions of HTMLViewer http://blog.xojo.com/blog/htmlviewer_engines_on_windows

There is a way to “change” HTMLViewier into using a different version of IE, but that involves altering the registry and may not be permitted by some corporate installations, if you want to do that let me know and I’ll post a link.

Webkit is Chrome 18 in Xojo. It may not support every needed feature.

IE11 is often better, if of course modifying the registry is permitted.

And since we know nothing about the widget… Does it at least work in common Windows browsers ? Which ones ?

This blog post describes the Registry changes to use a newer version of the native IE renderer:

Are you at least able to tell if you widget works in a regular Windows browser ? ? ?

11

no the widget don’t works on IE 8
I can’t install IE 10, I’m trying install IE 11 for test

The widget works very well on firefox under windows…

MS is actually really helpful here: they provide free (but limited function) Virtual Machines preloaded with IE6 thru 11 for testing.

but not under xojo, webkit or not

OK. I tried even with setting the useragent, it simply does not work. But I have a solution for you :

  • Go Insert
  • ActiveX Component…
  • Microsoft Web Browser
    A module named SFDocVw and a class named WebBrowser will appear in your navigator
  • Drag the WebBrowser to your window, size it as you like.
  • Add the Open event with :

Sub Open() me.Navigate("http://vistajeux.com/deezervistajeux.html") End Sub

This uses the “real thing” from Microsoft, it loves your Deezer widget, and it plays music just fine.

pfff moi j’ai une erreur de javascript . ( peut - tre un module complmentaire manquant dans IE )

mais a fonctionne bien avec IE direct

You should either change the channel to “Franais”, or continue in English in “General”, as a courtesy to other members.

I tried applying this to get the IE11 renderer:

Dim reg As New RegistryItem("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft") reg = reg.AddFolder("Internet Explorer") reg = reg.AddFolder("Main") reg = reg.AddFolder("FeatureControl") reg = reg.AddFolder("FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION") reg.Value(App.ExecutableFile.Name) = &h2710 ' IE 11 renderer

The widget says “player loaded” then when I click on a button I get

current_track 0 Insanity Simple Is Beautiful

But yet no sound.
What is strange is that yesterday the player showed on the screen, but today it remains invisible in both IE itself and in the Microsoft Web Browser control.

Maybe Deezer changed something. I even went to their site as well and no sound either in the Active X control.
