WebView4Delphi updates

[salvadordf]

Hi,

I just updated WebView4Delphi to WebView2 NuGet 1.0.1108.44

This is what's new :

• Added the GlobalWebView2Loader.OnProcessInfosChanged event.
• Added the GlobalWebView2Loader.ProcessInfos property.
• Added the TWVBrowserBase.OnProcessInfosChanged event.
• Added the TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameNavigationStarting2 event.
• Added the TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameNavigationCompleted2 event.
• Added the TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameContentLoading event.
• Added the TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameDOMContentLoaded event.
• Added the TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameWebMessageReceived event.
• Added the TWVBrowserBase.ProcessInfos property.
• Added the TCoreWebView2NavigationStartingEventArgs.AdditionalAllowedFrameAncestors property.
• Added the TCoreWebView2ProcessInfo class.
• Added the TCoreWebView2ProcessInfoCollection class.
• Updated the WebView2Loader.dll libraries.

TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameNavigationStarting2 is similar to TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameNavigationStarting but the new event is only triggered when you call TCoreWebView2Frame.AddAllBrowserEvents. The same happens with TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameNavigationCompleted2 and TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameNavigationCompleted.

TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameContentLoading, TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameDOMContentLoaded and TWVBrowserBase.OnFrameWebMessageReceived are only triggered when you call TCoreWebView2Frame.AddAllBrowserEvents.

If you use the global environment for the browsers the GlobalWebView2Loader.OnProcessInfosChanged is triggered but if you use a custom environment in a browser then TWVBrowserBase.OnProcessInfosChanged is triggered.

The last update includes a new demo in Windowless mode called WindowlessBrowser.

It's still unfinished but it's possible to navigate as if you were using the SimpleBrowser demo.

This demo requires a modified version of the MfPack component available here :
https://github.com/salvadordf/MfPack

Read the code comments in uWindowlessBrowser.pas for more information.

The latest update had these changes :

• Added WebView4Delphi source path to search path in all demos. Now you don't need to modify the library path in order to use WebView4Delphi.
• Removed TWVWinControl.TakeSnapshot because it doesn't work in WebView2 browsers.
• Added the TARGET_64BITS define in webview2.inc in case we need to know if the compiler has a 32 bits or 64 bits target.

I just created a new release version with the latest changes before submitting WebView4Delphi to be included in Embarcadero's GetIt.

Hi,

The last updates had these changes :

• Added separate design packages for VCL and FMX thanks to hhonisch.
• Added Delphi XE2 support thanks to hhonisch.
• Added GlobalWebView2Loader.LoaderDllPath thanks to hhonisch.
• Added GlobalWebView2Loader.UseInternalLoader thanks to hhonisch.
• Added GlobalWebView2Loader.DisableEdgePitchNotification.

If you set GlobalWebView2Loader.UseInternalLoader to true then WebView4Delphi will use an internal loader instead of the WebView2Loader.dll library.

The internal loader was originally created by jchv and it was translated to Pascal by YWtheGod :

• https://github.com/jchv/OpenWebView2Loader
• https://github.com/YWtheGod/DRT

The Internal loader is intended to be feature-complete with the original WebView2Loader distributed with the WebView2 NuGet package.
For most intents and purposes, you should prefer using the official WebView2Loader.

If you install WebView4Delphi in Delphi you still have to open WebView4Delphi_group.groupproj but now you have two options :

• If you want to install the FMX and VCL components then select the "Build All" context menu option and then select "Install" in WebView4DelphiVCL_designtime.bpl and WebView4DelphiFMX_designtime.bpl
• If you just want to install the VCL components then build WebView4DelphiVCLRTL.bpl and install WebView4DelphiVCL_designtime.bpl.

The new GlobalWebView2Loader.LoaderDllPath property allows you to load WebView2Loader.dll from a custom directory.

The GlobalWebView2Loader.DisableEdgePitchNotification property is set to true by default. It's a workaround given by Microsoft to disable the "Download Edge" notifications.
