Gecko Web Browser

[rajeshontheweb]

Hmm, i had tried it a couple of days back and came here to post about the rendering engine, noticed that it has been mentioned already : it would be nice to change the name or just say Gecko like Browser. i was actually very excited to see the speed and then when i went through the source to find out where and how u have used the Gecko engine, it was a disappointment :-(

Otherwise, its well built, fast, nice one...

Thanks for the support guys. I added a comment to the title to clarify what my program is (or isn't).

@AdmiralAlkex

Thanks for the help. I would have never found that because the script moves smoothly on my XP computer.

Is it stronger inside resizable window?

$GUI = GUICreate($Title, $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight, -1, -1, $WS_THICKFRAME+$WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_COMPOSITED)

Mozilla Firefox Web Browser

Doesn't use Mozilla Firefox rendering engine

Internet Explorer Web Browser

Doesn't use Internet Explorer rendering engine

Need I say more?

I really like the GUI... looks professional

I found a little problem (shown in the image). My resolution 1440x900.

@Shafayat

You must have one of the older builds. Every time I fix a bug, I post the fixed code. I only make a post saying update when there are some major fixes or additions. Try downloading the newest version. That problem should be fixed.

[Shafayat]

Ok. it works now.

I was looking at a few examples on the forum and came across object events from IE captured by ObjEvent. I don't work with objects very much, but this sounded interesting. I did a bit of searching on MSDN and found quite a bit of useful information. Favorites are saved to an ini file. The drop down menu only applies to favorites, not to previously visited websites. To add a favorite, click on the little star and it will light up. Click on it again to remove the website from favorites. I would love to hear any suggestions.

ToDo List:

1. Tabbed Browsing

2. Stop some links from opening in a new window. (Not realistic)

3. Images aren't always reliable.

4. Menu bar to edit favorites, view, history, etc.

5. Retrieve url history from local drives

Hey! Is there a way to get your gecko web browser working in Autoit 3 ?

This is all my error:

@James

Replace

Opt("OnExitFunc", "__GUICtrl_SetOnHover_OnAutoItExit")

with

OnAutoItExitRegister( "__GUICtrl_SetOnHover_OnAutoItExit" )

The isdeclared errors can be ignored.

Remove this line

Global Const $WS_EX_COMPOSITED = 0x02000000

and change AdlibEnable to AdLibRegister.

Thanks its now working. The error was in UDF.

[sxyObs]

hi guys,

The browser GUI flashes in windows vista. why?

[sxyObs]

wew, i just remove the Function in _WinAPI_RedrawWindow(&gui) and the Gui flashing stop, but the embedded IE still flashing

hmmm still need you help.

[dantay9]

Small update to fix the errors being showed. Like FuryCell said, the IsDeclared errors can be ignored.

@sxyObs

The GUI and the web browser aren't flashing on Windows XP Home. I don't have access to Windows Vista so I can't debug it for you. I have seen a few other topics here and here where it seems that Windows Vista has problems with double buffering.

[adik2dmax666]

Why not add tabbed-browing for your browser?

[dantay9]

I planned to eventually but haven't got around to doing it yet. I have been consumed with learning C#, so much so that I haven't been doing much AutoIt coding at all. And, after all, it's summer vacation for me. I have endless amounts of things to do.

You, or anyone else for that matter, is welcome to take my code and play with it, adding whatever you want. I just ask for you to reference me in your project.

i changed your _WinAPI_RedrawWindow($GUI) to _WinAPI_RedrawWindow($GUI, 0, BitOR($RDW_INVALIDATE, $RDW_UPDATENOW)) and it works fine, but still the embedded IE still flickering

the best way for now is changing my window vista theme to window classic. 100 % no flickering

does anyone knows or a script about changing vista theme? i tried forum but no success.

[AdmiralAlkex]

Do you mean temporary (only change while the script runs) or permanent?

[sxyObs]

Do you mean temporary (only change while the script runs) or permanent?

only change while the scripts run, I've seen some java apps that change vista theme to classic.

I'll try it later in Autoit.
