Modern UI in Lazarus

[lainz]

I have uploaded the package to GitHub:
https://github.com/hedgehog344/FluentControls

Don't take it too seriously
This is just a demonstration, and it was done quickly, dirty, and ineptly.

Is this compatible with LCL, or is OpenGL only?

If I understood your question correctly...
Yes, it is compatible with LCL.
On Windows, Direct2D (if available) or GDI+ is used for rendering.

Cool.

And what's used in Linux and macOS?

In the description of the Codebot.Cross library you can read that it works on Linux (but I haven’t tried it). As for MacOS, I think you need to ask the author (Sysrpl)

Reading the rendering package, seems like only Windows and Linux are supported. The only macOS related string I can find is "darwin", and it's only in the networking package. So, assume this doesn't compile on macOS.

This does sound intriguing, so many thanks for posting. However, on compiling codebot it gails with the message:
Error: No matching implementation for interface method "SelectList(const AnsiString;out INodeList):Boolean;" found

I found the function in codebot.text.xml.pas  but on adding that to the uses clause the compiler responds with
Error: Duplicate identifier "CODEBOT.TEXT.XML"

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks!

Hi. Someone is using the default browser plug-in for Windows Linux and Mac OS?

To code with html css and js in the front and pascal in the backend.

If yes how's called the package?

Thanks.

Edit; like edge in Linux and windows and safari on Mac

I tried to compile demo https://github.com/PierceNg/fpwebview/tree/master/demo/browser_cli,
It gives error importing external symbols.


note:
 the dll's & lib are for x64

I've compiled the demo from the first folder, the one that opens freepascal website, you need to use the compile.bat in Windows.

I think the error is due to the fact that I have not x64 units on my installation.
here is the output while using a command line 'winbuild.bat'

Nice, looks like you are targeting Windows and you attempting to link in Linux Libs.?

Let me know if you succeed or did, I miss something?
 

[BSaidus]

Not succed, the dll's are x64 bit.
I think the import libraries are not.

The same compilation error.
