[?] Hmmm.. Internet on Interface Windows? by roflmao456 on 06-13-2007 at 08:57 PM

If MsgPlusLive's contest window has like an internet control thing, is it now possible to put it on normal interface windows?

RE: [?] Hmmm.. Internet on Interface Windows? by Chancer on 06-13-2007 at 11:49 PM

A web browser?

You can add a browser control to the window but making it do things isn't possible. Patchou even states that not all controls provided in the Scripting Documentation are usuable.

...because only HE can use them!

HE made the Event Log's ListView sortable, HE added a Plus! styled right-click pop-up menu to the ListView, HE made the contest window browse to the right webpage... it's because HE owns the control of HIS program!

You did that recently with a little help (and Patchou doesn't even change the header to show the direction)

* markee points at the OnWindowidEvent_LstViewRClicked event and the MsgPlus.CreateChildWnd method

That is something I'm not sure about.... yet. It is probably usable, but you just have to work out how to use it, that's all.

RE: [?] Hmmm.. Internet on Interface Windows? by matty on 06-14-2007 at 03:19 PM

It isn't usable trust me. There isn't an API for the control or a macro to make it navigate to the pages.

However after looking at this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/aa752127.aspx there may be something there, obviously I am at work and don't have the time to play around with it but may be able to create your own.

if you really want to use a web browser in the windows I can always add some basic functions to use the web browser control of Plus! into the scripting API, that wouldn't be very difficult.

It'd be neat

Why didn't you do that before? No, just kidding: that'd be very cool!

<3 Patchou

I've made a little list

PlusWnd::Browser_GetLocation(ControlId)
Returns the browser's current url.
PlusWnd::Browser_SetLocation(ControlId, Url)
Navigate to the specified url.
PlusWnd::Browser_Back(ControlId)
Go back one page.
PlusWnd::Browser_Forward(ControlId)
Go forward one page.
PlusWnd::Stop(ControlId)
Stop loading the current page.
PlusWnd::Refresh(ControlId)
Refresh the current page.
OnWindowIdEvent_BrowserLocationChanged(Wnd, ControlId, Url)
This event is triggered when the browser's location changes (e.g. from clicking a link or submitting a form, NOT from the Browser_SetLocation method)

* Eljay stops being so demanding 8-)

RE: [?] Hmmm.. Internet on Interface Windows? by matty on 06-14-2007 at 07:56 PM

Oh and also how to use the Read/WriteInterfacePtr

RE: [?] Hmmm.. Internet on Interface Windows? by markee on 06-15-2007 at 02:13 AM

Thanks Patchou, this is going to be so good. But why haven't you added the functionality before? :tongue:

Are there any other things that shouldn't be too hard that you could give us as well? (A)

You already did that for the Log Viewer window, so maybe we can make use of it now too?

Treeview you can use the API for its not a problem there. I already use it in my Script Editor Script I was workign on.
