RELEASE!!! Skinable webbrowser - Page 6

justintime · 10-10-2005, 09:28 PM

OK, so I had some free time today, and I started putting together a CarWeb skin for Centrafuse 1.4

Here is what I have so far!

justintime · 10-10-2005, 09:45 PM

As soon as I try to embed this into Centrafuse, I get the error:

---------------------------
Carweb
---------------------------
Run-time error '384':

A form can't be moved or sized while minimized or maximized
---------------------------

Any ideas? Looks like CentraFuse is trying to resize the window to make it 'fit' when embedding it into the interface, and CarWeb windows cannot be resized. Crapola.

hope you get the error sorted

Try using AutoIT and create a startup script.

It is one line of code

Run("C:\carweb\carweb.exe", "C:\carweb\")

I had the same problem with the program not embedding into my frontend.

Thanks Leckan for this nice peice of software.

Any chance you could add an option in the .ini to change the windows position?

I want it to lauch about 100 pixels down from the top so my main menu is still visable.

I am very familiar with AutoIT, but I don't see how launching CarWeb through the AutoIT script is going to help here. confused!

I got home and tried this, but it did not make a difference. I created the script, and then had CentraFuse (my frontend) call the script sintead of the app. It starts the app (carweb) but it throws the same error.

Sorry that didn't work.

I am using a custom frontend. I don't understand why my autoit script launchs the app OK but when I link to the app directly in my front end it tells my file not found.

12Vsystems · 10-14-2005, 06:49 PM

Here is my dirty autoit script. WINMOVE wouldn't work for me so I resorted to just clicking and dragging the app down 100pxls to make my top menu buttons visable.

If WinExists("Carweb") Then

WinActivate("Carweb", "")

Else

Run("C:\mobileweb\carweb.exe","c:\mobileweb\")
WinWaitActive("Carweb")
WinActivate("Carweb", "")

MouseClickDrag("left", 725, 0, 725,100)

EndIf

Hey Leckan, is this based off my original browser code? I am recognizing the ini structure, and the scrolling that I had implemented, including the storing of a scroll point, although it doesnt seem to be restoring scroll points...

i dont really care, but it isnt ethical to just spawn it off as your own creation... i am just mentioning this cause if others share code and you create your own variation without mentioning them it might make them ****ed...

since youre developing this though i guess I can give you a couple of feature requests:
- possibility of calling the program with a command line argument such as the url for it to load... like "carweb.exe www.cnn.com"...
- detecting previously opened browser windows and using them instead of relaunching a new browser.

Cheers
Roy
