I have no direct experience with TWebBrowser, but did find this link...
http://delphi.about.com/od/twebbrowser/TWebBrowser_Delphi_Usage_Examples_Tips_and_Tricks.htm

Quoting ...
The TWebBrowser Delphi component provides access to the Web browser functionality from your Delphi apps (to allow you to create a customized Web browsing application or to add Internet, file and network browsing, document viewing, and data downloading capabilities to your applications).

and

might help somewhat.

Great replies,
but I don't think there is an exact code for lazarus from delphi using twebBrowser.

I doubt about gecko, but turbopower i don't think so.

thanks

Actually I'm asking because I'm worried using my Delphi code with TWebBrowser will not work under Lazarus.
what's the nearest component to use in Lazarus?

None I'm afraid, both Gecko and Ipro are different since they're not designed as native Windows browser component wrapper (the one that IE and chm viewer use). But AFAIK there's a Gecko for Delphi, so if you convert your Delphi project to use it, converting to Lazarus might be easier.

Remember, that TWebBrowser is using IE (Windows only) but FPC/Lazarus tries to make everything work cross platform.

By using the search function on this forum, I found 2 additional relevant entries (there are many listed that you can check out)

@Leledumbo , Gecko is the nearest, ohm.

And @Bobo,
So, Timewarp has the best solution?
Uses Windows, Comobj;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var browser: olevariant;
begin
 browser := CreateOleObject('InternetExplorer.Application');
 windows.setparent(browser.hwnd, form1.handle); // you can use panel1.handle, etc..
 browser.toolbar:=false;
 browser.fullscreen:=true;
 browser.Resizable:=false;
 browser.visible:=true;
 Browser.Navigate('http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/');
end;     

SO, what's the input in Linux or MAC
browser := CreateOleObject('InternetExplorer.Application-whats in linux or mac here?');

thanks to both of you

OLE is windows-only xenblaise.

Embedded Chrome can be used with Delphi, and conversion to Lazarus should not be hard:

Although I would guess that he's looking for more than this.

Ohm, what I'm asking is the nearest code of TWebBrowser and can be done with windows, mac and linux.

I'll try the links,


thanks
