Hello,

has anyone ever tried to integrate CEF into tk?

CEF seems to be well supported and is made to embed a browser into other applications. So it seems that this would be great for tk since we don't have a "good" html/browser integration (hv3/tkhtml).
(I'm looking desperately for a browser-integration to tk, since i need to add a metabase-dashboard to a tcl/tk business-application.)

Regards, Matthias

I will second that. Have embedded IE, but we all know where that is going.

if you consider paying for that development maybe would be interesting to set up a bounty for that

you can check https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Tcl+bounty+programme

Thanks, i didn't knew about that programm. Good idea, i'll think about.
What would be the right place to announce a bounty for CEF?
Regards,
Matthias

Hi,
i did contact Nathan Coultier and also Czarek Tomczak who wrote cefpython - but got no response until now.
@all: If somebody is interested in building a "cefhtml"-package for tk - we'll give a bounty for.

Would a webview-based "alien" browser display work for you? (i.e., not deeply integrated in Tk)

If so, https://www.androwish.org/home/dir?name=undroid/twv could work for you (unless you need to deploy on Android/ iOS).

This looks interesting. Is it simply for displaying html content? How
do you handle clicks on links and buttons?

Please follow the information on the Wiki entry "Taygete Scrap Book"
in https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Taygete+Scrap+Book which uses
the "twv" component. It boils down to an alliance between Tcl and
JavaScript.

Hello Stefan,

thank you very much for your response. TWV looks interesting alhtough it doesn't solves my problem:
Im would like to create a "dashboard"-like User-Interface where i can place some independent working html-Widgets at the same time - together with some other tk-Widgets.
And - as far as i understand TWV - it creates a kind of "external" browser Window which can be controlled from tcl but not be placed in a tk-toplevel/frame.

I'm (which means the company i work for) still willing to give a bounty for this - but haven't found a place to announce one so the tcl/tk community gets informed about.
Any suggestions?
Matthias
