Using WebView2 in DataFlex

26m 26s

Intermediate

The WebView2 control allows you to embed web technology in your Windows DataFlex applications. For example adding an html control like we will be doing in this course. QuillJS is an html editor written in JavaScript that would normally only run in a Web browser. In this course we will build a wrapper for QuillJS using WebView2, so it can be used in our Windows application!

Start course

Introduction to the course.

Common Properties

In this lesson we'll be looking at an overview of properties that the WebView2 control is capable of.

In this lesson we will essentially be building a new Windows control based on a web technology, which requires some preparation. So, let's start setting up our DataFlex workspace!

Making QuillJS show up

In this lesson we will show how to make QuillJS show up and do some styling to make it a bit more adaptable for our current Windows environment.

Modifying QuillJS

In the last lesson we made QuillJS appear as it should within our application. Now we might want to add features to it like images and more advanced things like links and such. Let's jump back to our cQuillEditor class.

Communicating with DataFlex

In the last lesson we made the QuillJS editor itself feature complete and while there are many to explore. In this lessen we will start looking at hooking up the control to DataFlex!

Syncing and Conclusion

Due to the asynchronous nature of the WebView2 component we need to come up with a way to always have the right data in a property or something else. In this lesson we will dive into this.
