C++ :: Web Browser - How To Run HTML Within Program
May 4, 2014
I am making a web browser and I have successfully made it so it shows the actual html but I want to know how to run the html within the program. I am using mac so it can't be the #include "windows.h" stuff and preferably I would like it to be cross-platform.
I tried to do this with _spawnl(), but first of all I'm not sure how to properly ask for the path to iexplore.exe, as I'm sure it will change every time MS gets a whim to move it. I know there's a GetWindowsDirectory() call, but that's not where IE resides (its in "C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe" in XP, Lord know where on win 7 or 8).
Also, even temporarily hard coding the path to make it launch with spawnl(), I can't seem to get my html document to display. I know the path to that is right (since I put it there ).
I have written a text based web browser from scratch. Meaning that I'm not using libcurl in any way to retrieve the web pages.Now I'd like to add HTTPS functionality to it, but I can't seem to find a guide like Beej's Guide to Network Programming related to HTTPS.
This is my very first attempt at running a wpf browser app... I've create the project and i can see controls when i add them to the entry page, here's the default for the page
and i can see a nice bright green square with an orange outline. But when i debug, a new tab opens up in my browser and i can't see a single thing,it's just a white screen.
I have been working on my own custom web browser. If i insert a web browser in my tab control and name it i can easily just go webbrowser1.Navigate() in my button click to use the webbrowser methods.
I made a method CreateTab and it automatically adds a web browser to my tab along with a default web page. My problem is selecting this webbrowser in other button clicks so i can call Home, Back, forward, etc.
Here is me method for creating a tab.
private void CreateTabItem() { //create a new tab TabItem item = new TabItem(); item.Header = "Fitness" + i ; WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser(); //browser.Name = "Website";
there is a way to iterate through the controls on a webpage. For instance, I tried EnumChildWindows using the parent window of the browser, but I haven't had any luck - it returns nothing. s where I can start researching how to find the child controls?
I would like to know how to make Lynx follow meta refresh links automatically, At the moment it just provides a "clickable" link you can accept the refresh. I would like this to be automatic.
--- Initial problem ---
We have a DB Backup script written in PHP/HTML and uses the page refresh to loop the backup (every 2 minutes). Using a full fledged browser is not really an option on our machine as the resources are very tight. So we tried Lynx and it has the perfect footprint but the only problem is it doesn't refresh the page.
I'm thinking I just need some way to force Lynx to reload the page after the time has elapsed. Maybe create a new function that starts a timer and hold the url until the timer ends then force Lynx to visit that url. Im a PHP Procedural kinda guy and I cant think how to set this timer event safely without corrupting or crashing the program or creating memory leaks.
(source code im using: [URL])
This is the function that handles meta refresh.
Code: /* * Given a refresh-URL content string, parses the delay time and the URL * string. Ignore the remainder of the content. */ void LYParseRefreshURL(char *content, char **p_seconds, char **p_address)
I'm trying to build an app, but i don't know which is the best language choice. For starters, the app should be able to:
1. run from context menu 2. when selecting some text from a web browser (ff, ie), that text is captured (preferably not in clipboard) and sent as argument to the program via context menu and the program starts executing...
I was looking around on the internet and i noticed you could change internet explorer's emulation mode from Desktop to Windows Phone, i was wondering can the same thing be achieved in the C# webbrowser as i know it heavily rely's on IE. I know you can change the standards on the browser through the IE versions but is changing it to Windows Phone Brwoser possible, if so how can i change it?
So basically I have to write a C program that, when opening the html file in a browser, looks essentially like this: (Size, position, color of the shapes doesn't matter so long as I have one of each shape and the box surrounding them. Words up top dont matter either.)
This is what I have so far: Code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define FILENAME ("A4P1.html") [code]....
Anyways i can get the individual shapes, but I don't know how to get all the shapes to appear at once..
This time I need to generate random shapes (circles, rectangles, squares, and ellipses) with random attributes with C, to html.
I am able to create specific shapes with random attributes, but I am unsure how to have the function create a random shape...
Also, the function "box" is meant to create a black border around the shapes. It does this, but I do not know how to make it so that the other shapes do not show up along the lines of this "box."
I guess it appears that certain shapes are "layered" over top of others? ie. My circles/ellipses always show up on top of the rects/squares/box.Currently I have this:
For this program i had to create an HTML with the cosine similarities. I got everything, i just need to color in the lowest and highest amount in the table, but I don't know how.
I have a program that converts document files to html , however there's a very strange issue with the program, it is only converting files that i open within the program using fstream i.e. ofstream out("test.doc"); now ill have to copy the contents from another document that i want to convert to this test file and it would convert but if i try converting a document that has not been implicitly created it would give me a garbage .html file.
// file extensions that the program can handle // you can add more extenssions if needed using namespace std; char *fileExt[] = {".doc", ".c", ".cpp"}; void convert_to_html(string fileName);
I would like to be able to call c++ library from HTML page. So on HTML page I have area for some possible input (url, name, email, etc) and that info is passed to c++ and calculated info and may email someone; or pull info from text file and display on html page. Realizing PHP or something similar would be easier, I really want to make these calls from HTML pages. ???
I have an HTML5 form with a number of text boxes on it. I would like these textboxes populating with data retreived from an SQL database, using inline C#. I have a stored procedure that returns the data.
