My question about altBrowser is really directed at Chipp Walters, but I have decided to share it with the List not only so that others may benefit from the answers, but also with the idea that other colleagues might have some valuable input to offer.
Last night, I acquired the altBrowser from Altuit and was highly satisfied with it. I am a refugee from the recently-abandoned VB6, so naturally the first things I have interest in achieving in Revolution are those which correspond to what I already know and use. One such facility is the ability to truly embed a browser of any size/position in a window (or "stack"), with or without controls such as navigation in the display history, refresh, menus, etc. Just as Chipp said, this is all perfectly possible using the altBrowser DLL. I might add that this is probably no mean achievement. However, I have the following difficulty. I have tried using the altBrowser stack with dll in Windows XP and Windows ME in Revolution 2.2.1 (which I understand is a bit buggy) and also in Revolution 2.2 (which is said to be less buggy). If I load the altBrowser stack, the context menus (called by using the right mouse button) no longer work anywhere. Even if I load a new second stack, the menus do not appear, but if I remove the altBrowser stack, the menus work. In practice, this means that in the Application Browser for example, I cannot test the altBrowser (or any other stack for that matter) modelessly. However, if I compile a standalone of the original stack or even a hacked-about version (with missing controls), it works perfectly. I might add that if I insist too much by clicking with the right mouse button on various things to get the context menu to appear somewhere, Revolution freezes up on me. There is obviously a conflict somewhere. Could it have to do with the fact (?) that the dll uses the Metacard engine or something? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
