revBrowserCEF on LC 9

Post by capellan » Thu Jan 17, 2019 11:24 pm

Hi All,

How could I install revBrowserCEF in LC 9.0.2?

I am having problems running some stacks on LC 9.0.2
that use Apple Webkit inside the html widget.

Notice that replacing the revbrowser.bundle
and including the revBrowserCEF folder
inside the application package of LC 9.0.2
does not work and just hangs LC.

Looks like LC9 could not use old Externals from LC6
(or I don't know how to install it correctly) but LC7
allows to install revBrowserCEF following exactly
every instruction from this LiveCode lesson:
http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/63 ... ne-builder

After testing LC8, I discover that (just like LC9)
revBrowserCEF does not work.

Well, I knew they were pushing LCB as the way forward, but I didn't know 9 actually can't use externals like earlier versions back to Mc did. I thought that was what the foreign interface was supposed to cover, in an expanded way?

Anyone know for sure?

From Dict > revBrowserOpenCEF
In LiveCode 8.0+, this function is no longer supported on Mac.
Also it is not updated since then (no HTML5 support).

I can't imagine anything that worked in CEF that does not work in the browser widget (libbrowser). What is it what doesn't run?
shiftLock happens
