VisualNeo Win - WebView / Web Object - Chromium
Quote from zornjaso on September 29, 2019, 5:08 pmI've been a Neobook (and now VisualNeo Win) user for decades. The product has provided great usefulness in situations where customized browser applications, using the IE WebView/Object could be assigned to tabs.
Unfortunately (and fortunately, in certain contexts), the changing times have brought the Web Object in VisualNeo Win to near uselessness due to its deprecated functionality as modern web standards have changed. May web sites don't play nice with the Web Object anymore (e.g., Airtable.com).
Do we have any idea when an update to an Edge-based Web Object might be implemented, or are there any paid or free plugins out there that fill this need (either a Chromium, Edge, or other modern Web Object that can be dropped into VisualNeo Win to properly render modern web pages in place of the IE Web Object?)
This is not an insignificant issue. I urge you to make this a priority (if it is the only VisualNeo Win update you can devote resources to make, an update to the Web Object functionality to meet modern standards is paramount).
A great work around solution would be -- if there was a drag-and-drop WebView/Web Object -- even as a plugin -- someone could download a portable Chromium zip file and bundle that with the EXE using calling the Web Objects based on the portable Chromium folder. Is there any developer working on, or willing to work on, such a project?
Kind regards,
Jason

I totally agree.
I have talk about this with some plugins developers, and tried to find a solution myself but it doesn't seems an easy task.
If anyone can develop such a plugin would be great.
Perhaps a crowfunding project could help to encourage developers, as I'm sure most of us will pay for such functionality.
As the resources here are quite limited (only me, partial time) VisualNEO Win development is paused while I concentrate on VisualNEO Web enhancements.
Best regards.
