One problem I did a workaround, if you don't want that ugly title bar that the electron/chromiun show, the object must be like TOP = -20, the the titlebar is hidden out of the form/frame/picturebox visual area. Unfortunately, WebkitX (which I first liked very much) doesn't work for me because of a manifest problem that WebkitX is currently incompatible with, so I need to find a workaround.Ĭan you tell me how you would go on if you were to embed Cef3 in VB6?you can execute electron, and define your native VB6 form/frame/picturebox as the SCREEN for the ELECTRON/CHROMIUN APP, I am using it, you need to execute it in a special way, so the browser don't use the actual desktop screen to show, but your object in the form. I find myself in a situation where I need to embed Cef3 in VB6. It's the bigger, serious Cross-Platform-Apps which prefer a "well-defined behavingīrowser-Engine" - but for those there's already standardized distributable packages,Ĭan you explain what this Electron starter app does? Simple VB6-HTML-Form, the IE-Control (when broken out of its "version 7.0 confines"īy FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION) works good enough IMO. The download you might want to try is: electron-v0.36.9-win32-ia32.zip (39MB)įor Intranets or the occasional Web-Page - or even your own Browser-based Where several binary-packages are listed (for most current platforms and OSes). In case you want to check it out, here's a Link to the Electron Release page, With Web-Technologies - and one such project which already ships with such a "Chromium-Įncapsulating Top-Level-Form Executable" is Githubs Electron (containing electron.exe as the So the CEF-engine (chromium) will be used these days mostly, to write Desktop-Apps Written in JS anyways (for the most part) - the chromium-wrapping executable only used as an with Delphi or C++), which hosts this Browser-Engine in an easyĪll these "advanced node.js/HTML5/CSS3/JS- or TypeScript-based" Web- or Desktop-Apps are Therefore it's largely out of curiosity and potential usability in the future that I asked this question.IMO there's no need to write a wrapper for CEF in VB6 - when there's already a TopLevel-Form-wrapper Maybe the IE-Webbrowser stops working or something, so the software developers have decided to use CEF. ![]() The software accesses some quite advanced web pages - to be specific, the login page and seller related pages. In this version, the originally used IE-Webbrowser control is replaced with CEF, which by the way, has increased the total size of the app package by 60MB, and is how I know the name CEF. It's just that the main software that supports our company's business has a newer version. ![]() ![]() The IE-Webbroswer Control for my own current work is OK.
