JavaFX

[Hugolarson]

Hello,

This is a very interesting project! Tank you!

Is it possible to use in a JavaFX application?

Thanks,
Hugo

I don't see why not? Are you having trouble trying to use it with javafx?

[Hugolarson]

Actually have not tried and could not find about JavaFX in samples.

Is there a way to view PDF?

[SentryMan]

As like a popup or embedded in the window? I'll admit that I've never worked with javafx

Is there a way to view PDF

That depends on the webview impl of your OS, 99% will be Chromium based in so it will work.

You could probably associate the created window, with your JavaFX window, if you want it to look like a "popup", etc. There is quite a bit of behaviour possible in that sense.

For embedding into the window, we had AWTWebview but it was removed in #54, upstream webview_java has it.
You would have to use a SwingNode (not lightweight) to host the AWT component.
Basically, not yet better than existing JavaFX webview solutions.

Can be added back if you want it

I want to embed your webview windows in i JavaFX node and AWT is no go.
I guess it's not possible.

[SentryMan]

it's possible if you can get the window handle and pass it to the builder, but I lack knowledge of JavaFX to tell you how to do that

[mechite]

get the window handle

Just to note that:

• typically reflection is required as JavaFX does not expose this (as it's platform-specific)
• this can probably be done by just assigning a unique title on startup, at least to get a handle on Windows with FindWindow of user32, and probably similar for other platforms

[Hugolarson]

I Have too little knowledge to accomplish this.
It would be great if you have a sample.

I am very interested in adding this to JavaFX! but it's probably not that straightforward... it looks like webview creates a system top level window... maybe it is worth you give a look at the JavFX WebView component; that one is pretty behind, so not all sites are supported. But it is fully integrated into a java widget framework. If you are more familiar with swing, it may work as well, as tehre is a swing/javafx bridge.
As it is now, it is quite powerful, but there is much less point in having it as a separate window. Then you can just run the browser itself...
