TWebBrowser type should be added in the ThirdParty list as 'WebBrowser'. You did it? Other controls are skinned?

Yes, I added the TWebBrowser to the Thirdparty List, but the control (the scrollbars for example) isn't skinned. I'm using a TWebBrowser on a TFrame which is created at runtime, if that helps.

All other controls are skinned properly, as far as I can tell.

Can you give me a small demo, please?

Here is a demo of working skinning : http://www.alphaskins.com/sfiles/demos/webbrowser.zip

Maybe it helps.

Hi Serge

I found the problem. If you load a page from the Internet like in your demo, the skinning works. If you load a file from your local hard drive (see my attached demo), then skinning doesn't work.

EDIT:

Just tested your demo with a local file: no skinning either…

I confirm that problem. IE is not always skinned. Another problem is, when I hide horizontal scroll (only vertical one is visible in WebBrowser, overflow css) then AC is showing both scrollbars skinned.

Thank you for the demo, work of the component will be improved in the nearest release.

Great, thank you! Just make sure to free all allocated memory blocks. I ran into an AV the other day when freeing a TFrame holding a TWebBrowser. The error disappeared when I removed TWebBrowser from the ThirdPartyList of the sSkinManager.

I checked memory leaks, all is Ok. This AV is repeated?

[mol]

Yes, I can reproduce this bug. It's actually not a memory leak, but a memory error. FastMM reports the following (excerpt):

---

FastMM has detected an error during a GetMem operation. FastMM detected that a block has been modified after being freed.

Modified byte offsets (and lengths): 768(8), 808(8), 824(16)

The previous block size was: 1020

This block was previously allocated by thread 0xFF0, and the stack trace (return addresses) at the time was:

The block was previously used for an object of class: TWebBrowser

The allocation number was: 1220828

Does this help? If not, I will try to prepare a demo for you.

Thx

Yes, demo can help really. If it's not difficult for you, please give me it.

[mol]

Okay, give me a day or two to come up with something.

Serge, I tried but unfortunately I cannot pinpoint or reproduce the memory error with the test project just yet. After some major debugging in my main application it seems though that the problem boils down to a combination of several things. The first one being the following call

if TFrame2(FFrame).WebBrowser1.Busy then

TFrame2(FFrame).WebBrowser1.Stop;

and the other one being a memory issue where the debugger points to two calls to EnhMetaFile and TBitmap.LoadFromResourceName. This memory issue is the one that disappears once I take TWebBrowser off the ThirdPartyList.

Sorry that I cannot be of any further help at the moment.

I'm trying to skin a TWebBrowser (should be possible per your announcement), but cannot get it to work. Tested almost all skins, but to no avail. Can you please check?

Thanks!

AC8.04, added TwebBrowser -> WebBrowser to third party list and only vertical scrollbar is visible (as expected) but it is not skinned.

I used a regular URL, not a local file

TWebBrowser added to the list as 'WebBrowser'? Form is skinned?
