Can the IPro components be used to display a web page? (Linux)

[dkjMusic]

I have two components on my IPro tab in Lazarus: TIpFileDataProvider and TIpHtmlPanel.

Can these be used with a specified URL to display the corresponding page in a form? If so, how?

I looked at the examples included and didn't get any insight.

Afaik no. You need some networking components to download the files first.

You might take a look at this custom component and see if you can get the example apps running:

Since this control embeds the Firefox runtime, you can do just about anything that Firefox can do, including run JavaScript apps.

I don't use Linux so I can't say whether it works there yet, but it does work with Windows and Mac.

JoshyFun and I are working on this again...

Thanks.
