@sakismor the webpage you want to embed uses WebGL not supported by Internet Explorer. If you dont mind about file size, you can embed NeoAppDesktop. It includes a complete embedable Chromium web browser.

Best regards.

Hi @hpw

Please take a look here:

Happy new year! :)

Hello @Luishp,

Also a happy new year!

And yes I missed that thread. Interesting thing.

A full blown native chromium plugin would be still also interesting.

Regards

Or you can simple load the Chrome browser (kiosk mode) in a Neobook rectangle... It should also work with Firefox and the updated Edge browser... cramming Chromium into a plugin makes a very large file size, but almost everyone has Chrome, Firefox and Edge already installed.

Thank you Foti for your solution!!!!

Below is a routine to locate the Chrome browser:

-------------------------------------------------

. Search Program Files
StrReplace "[ProgramFiles]" "Program Files (x86)" "Program Files" "[ProgramFilesWOW64]" ""
FileExists "[ProgramFilesWOW64]\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "[i]"
.AlertBox "Find Chrome" "Is Chrome in Program Files?||[i]"
If "[i]" "=" "True"
SetVar "[ChromePath]" "[ProgramFilesWOW64]Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
StickyNote "-1" "-1" "Chrome Path set to [ProgramFilesWOW64]Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "2000"
Return
EndIf

. Search Program Files x86
FileExists "[ProgramFiles]\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "[i]"
.AlertBox "Find Chrome" "Is Chrome in Program Files x86?||[i]"
If "[i]" "=" "True"
SetVar "[ChromePath]" "[ProgramFiles]Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
StickyNote "-1" "-1" "Chrome Path set to [ProgramFiles]Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "2000"
Return
EndIf

. Search Vista AppData Local
StrReplace "[ProgramFiles]" "Program Files (x86)" "Users\[UserName]" "[UserDrive]" ""
.AlertBox "" "[UserDrive]"
FileExists "[UserDrive]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "[i]"
.AlertBox "Find Chrome" "Is Chrome in AppData Local?||[i]"
If "[i]" "=" "True"
SetVar "[ChromePath]" "[UserDrive]AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
StickyNote "-1" "-1" "Chrome Path set to [UserDrive]AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "2000"
Return
EndIf

. Chrome Not Found
AlertBox "Find Chrome" "Google Chrome was not found!| |Please install Google Chrome."
Return
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this example create a Container named "ChromeContainer" and inside it place a Rectangle named "ChromeKiosk"
Replace "[PubDir]files\kiosk.html" with the WebGL 3D webpage address you want to display

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MessageBox "Kiosk Mode" "Select Display" "Kiosk Mode|Start Fullscreen" "[imode]"

ObjectToFront "ChromeKiosk"

SetVar "[iL]" "[PubLeft]"
SetVar "[iT]" "[PubTop]"
GetObjectInfo "ChromeContainer" "Width" "[iW]"
GetObjectInfo "ChromeContainer" "Height" "[iH]"

If "[imode]" "=" "1"
RunInRectangle "ChromeKiosk" "[ChromePath]" "--window-position=[iL],[iT] --window-size=[iW],[iH] --kiosk --disable-features=TranslateUI --disable-notifications --app=[PubDir]files\kiosk.html" "" "" "[ChromeKiosk1]"
Else
RunInRectangle "ChromeKiosk" "[ChromePath]" "--window-position=[iL],[iT] --window-size=[iW],[iH] --start-fullscreen --disable-features=TranslateUI --disable-notifications --app=[PubDir]files\kiosk.html" "" "" "[ChromeKiosk1]"
EndIf
Return

-----------------------------------------------------

Put the code below in the "Resize"Action  tab of ChromeContainer if you want it to automatically resize your program window (named as the variable [YourPub] in this example)

----------------------------------------------------

SetVar "[iL]" "[PubLeft]"
SetVar "[iT]" "[PubTop]"
GetObjectInfo "ChromeContainer" "Width" "[iW]"
GetObjectInfo "ChromeContainer" "Height" "[iH]"
SetWindowPos "[YourPub]" "[iL]" "[iT]" "[iW]" "[iH]"
EndIf

Thank you Foti for your help!!!

I try the NeoAppDesktop and working like a charm.  The only problem is that I can't preview in a rectangle. I try to run this action below but nothing!!!

And second is it possible to preview and a second html file that is in www folder by calling from VisualNEO win? Not only the index.html, maybe and second file like preview.html

Thank you

RunInRectangle "Rectangle2" "C:\Users\SakisMor\Downloads\neoappdesktop\neoappdesktop.exe" "" "HideMenu+HideSizeBox" "" ""

1. This is NOT what I meant:

RunInRectangle "Rectangle2" "C:\Users\SakisMor\Downloads\neoappdesktop\neoappdesktop.exe" "" "HideMenu+HideSizeBox" "" ""

2. This IS what I meant:

RunInRectangle "Rectangle2" "chrome.exe" "--window-position=[iL],[iT] --window-size=[iW],[iH] --kiosk --disable-features=TranslateUI --disable-notifications --app=http://craftland.gr/mug/?img=tnl1.jpg" "" "" "

 

3. And this SHOULD work (but it doesn't):

RunInRectangle "Rectangle2" "C:\Users\SakisMor\Downloads\neoappdesktop\neoappdesktop.exe" "" "" "" ""

(You must first edit the "settings.json" file to "false" in order to disable the "show console" window)
"debugging": {
"show_console": false,
"subprocess_show_console": false,
"log_level": "DEBUG4",
"log_file": "debug.log"
},

-------------------

Copy your compiled app inside www folder (renamed as "index.php").

------------------

<style type="text/css">@import url("style.css");</style>
<a href="index.php">Go back to index</a>
| <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];?>">Refresh</a>

<title>Sakis</title>
<h1>Sakis</h1>

<a href="http://craftland.gr/mug/?img=tnl1.jpg">http://craftland.gr/mug/?img=tnl1.jpg</a>

 

------------------------------------------------

But "http://craftland.gr/mug/?img=tnl1.jpg" appears to me only as a blank gray rectangle.

Is you mug img example working?

-----

Example 2 above should work if you enter the complete path to chrome.exe

RE: And second is it possible to preview and a second html file that is in www folder by calling from VisualNEO win? Not only the index.html, maybe and second file like preview.html

You can rename or copy a file to index.php

FileCopy "index1.php" "index.php"

FileCopy "index2.php" "index.php"

FileCopy "preview.html" "index.php"

FileCopy "preview2.html" "index.php"

---

But this is the correct syntax for index.php

<style type="text/css">@import url("style.css");</style>
<a href="index.php">Go back to index</a>
| <a href="<?php echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];?>">Refresh</a>
<title>Sakis</title>
<h1>Sakis</h1>
<a href="http://craftland.gr/mug/?img=tnl1.jpg">http://craftland.gr/mug/?img=tnl1.jpg</a>

Hello Foti,

I just change the online version and now you can see in this address: http://craftland.gr/mug/

I need to work offline with the files all in www folder. I run the NeoAppDesktop and all works like a charm.

Then I try to open it the NeoAppDesktop in a VisualNEO win rectangle but I see only a black page.

I change the settings.json file like that:

"debugging": {
        "show_console": false,
        "subprocess_show_console": false,
        "log_level": "DEBUG4",
        "log_file": "debug.log"
    },

But nothing happens. Do you have any solution to run the NeoAppDesktop into a rectangle and works??

Thank you Foti

@sakismor

For some reason I am not able to download neoAppDesktop - 71 Mb.

When I reach about 50 Mb, visualneo.com times-out and I get a corrupted file.

However I did download phpdesktop - 70Mb

https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop

I can see Stella's Mug in 3D. The image displays at the center of the page. If your rectangle is not wide enough, the image might be out of viewing range. I will try to download neoAppDesktop again after the New Year's web traffic is less.

(See "sakistest.pub" at the bottom of this post)

Thank you Foti for try to help me but nothing change.

I download the phpdesktop and test it.  I change the settings.json like that:

"debugging": {
"show_console": false,
"subprocess_show_console": false,
"log_level": "DEBUG4",
"log_file": "debug.log"
},

If I run it from phpdesktop-chrome.exe all works perfect. When I run in the rectangle with the files inside www I get black screen in the neobook rectangle.

I have to tell you that I am not using the web page only the files inside the www folder.

Please check the video that I make: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DCHBKTyWgEOkgfsdSbk-VjjDb4stm76f/view?usp=sharing

If anyone have a solution please help.

@sakismor I have tested the same procedure with other web apss and it works fine. The problem is probably related to WebGL not being able to work appropiately when embedded. Sorry.

Quote from fkapnist on January 4, 2021, 4:17 pm

@sakismor

@luishp

I forgot to mention that I tested WebGL on two computers and found that it will not work with some graphics cards...

Quote from sakismor on January 4, 2021, 7:32 pm

Hello, I make a new test to chekc if is having problem with webGL.

I delete the index.html file from www folder and I leave only folders .  And I test to run the neoappdesktop.exe direct and I see the first screen. All went OK.

Second I try to open it in a rectangle with a simple button and this code:

RunInRectangle "Rectangle1" "C:\Users\SakisMor\Downloads\neoappdesktop\neoappdesktop.exe" "" "" "" ""

and I take this black screen. (second photo).

So I think is not having to do with WebGL because I have to see a normal page.

So luishp and fkapnist do you think that something other happens?

Quote from luishp on January 4, 2021, 8:04 pm

@sakismor it works fine for me using:

RunInRectangle "Rectangle1" "!D:\portables\neoappdesktop\neoappdesktop.exe" "" "" "" ""

Screenshot attached.

Quote from sakismor on January 4, 2021, 8:18 pm

Please send me your settings.json file.

Quote from luishp on January 5, 2021, 10:02 am

@sakismor I just used the default configuration in neoAppDesktop. Just as it's unziped after download.
Anyway here is attached the settings.json file.
