Hi Everyone

I've asked to investigate if is possible for Clarion to load a web page within a clarion window..

Any idea if it is possible?
Thanks appreciate you help

I suggest you make a COM control with WinForms and their Browser control.
You can learn how to make COM controls on ClarionMag. A guy named Wade Hatler has a great 5 part tutorial about making COM controls for clarion. Here are the urls:

If you need a new browser with all the new standards ( you got alot of javascript in) you should read this answer how to incorporate a newer browser into winforms:

Yes, it's possible.
You can put the IE ActiveX object on a window, then change the
properties of the object to navigate the web page you want.
I have some source around here somewhere, I'll see if I can find it for you.

HTH,

thanks Paul. I added a OLE/OCx in a clarion window but I can't see the IE OCX, I choose 32 Bit and Ocx radio control but I don;t know which one in the object type correspond with IE

I'm using the following code to setup my OCX control but it's still opening a web browser to show it

WebBrowser = CREATE(0,CREATE:OLE)
WebBrowser{PROP:Create} = 'InternetExplorer.Application'
WebBrowser{'Visible'} = True
UrlString = 'http://google.com.au'
WebBrowser{'Navigate(' & UrlString & ')'}

I want to see google web page inside my Clarion window, Is it possible??

!Hi.
!You have to populate OLE/OCX control template in your window.
!Set 32-bit check box and OCX control type.
!Choose Microsoft Web Browser for object type (Shell.Explorer.2 will be displayed).
!Fill your UrlString with 'www.google.com' :).
!Reference OLE/OCX control using "Use" attribute of the control.
!(Don't forget question mark!!!):
?MyOCX{'Navigate(URL="' & Clip(URLString) & '",Flags=' & 14 & ')'} !14 = No History, try 0 but its flaky
SELECT(?URLString)
!See
!http://www.attryde.com/clarion/cw_ieocx.htm
!for more details (Back, Forward, Home actions and similar).

!Hope it helps.
!Zoran.

!PS It is also possible to create IE ocx control in source code, I do not know details.

You can fill URLString with path to files which resides on your local disks or flesh media. Some of extensions (but not all) will be shown in ?ocx control; the rest will be shown in original application for these extensions.

On http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1641441
is shown how to show/display Google map on IE ocx xontrol :).
Very interesting and usefull example.
