HTMLView Library

[dzt]

Hi,

This is dzHTMLView Library.

It is very simple now to browse internet sites or display local html code or pages from your b4ppc app. It can be used even to implement a completely new User Interface which also can be changed at runtime by providing new html fles.

Has also the ability to encode unicode to UTF8 (built-in function).

It can also be used to URLEncode and URLDecode strings (built-in functions).
It can be used only for PPC apps. For desktop is provided a dummy interface for design help.

Libraries and samples attached.

Based on the code found here
URLEncode and URLDecode has be taken from the Mono project (.NET port to Linux)

Image 1. Web Browser (test2)


Image 2. User Interface (test4)


Image 3. User Interface with Input Fields. It's values are visible to B4PPC code (test5)

Hi dzt

I can't get this library and your samples to work

All that seems to happen is that the HTML code is displayed in the hc control with a green background. The HTML doesn't seem to get parsed nor do any events fire. Any idesa?

did you test it on the desktop it will not work as DZT mentions.

I was in too much of a hurry to try it after seing the screenshots and didn't actually read the text of his post. Thanks for pointing it out.

However on my device only test3 runs properly.

Test2 and test5 produce
"An error occurred on sub hc_onbefornavigate.
Line number:0
Error description: FormatException"

Test4 produces
"An unexpected error has occurred in ppc4.exe

File or assembly name 'System.Drawing,Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A, or one of its dependencies, was not found"

I have both CF 1.0 SP3 and 2.0 SP2 on this device and tried the tests with and without a config file. The test4 error is identical with and without a config file. This surprises me slightly as with a config file I didn't expect it load what looks like a CF 1.0 assembly! I suppose the test4 error could mean a problem with my CF 1.0 setup - although that is in the device ROM - as I use Visual Studio 2005 and CF 2.0 when playing on my device. However I haven't had a problem so far running B4PPC apps without a config file - except where needed for a 2.0 library.

Hi all,

Last minute before posting the librabry and samples I changed a function name (UnicodeToUTF8 to EncodeUTF8) and didn't update the samples.



I reattached corrected samples to the first post. Please anyone who downloaded before, should replace "UnicodeToUTF8" with "EncodeUTF8".

Thank you for your understanding.
