Minimum code for implementing WebView (deprecated) or WKWebView

[trev]

I am going to solve this "broken forwards of all kinds not working in my Lazarus" + "circular referencing" problems by...

Simply leaving out those declarations. I think that will work as long as I do not need to call them. At least I can compile then. Will need to see if causes problems runtime.

I've done this for other reasons and there've been no obvious issues. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Thank you


As everyone probably realizes, I am trying to hack and slash my way forward through the problems.


Seems Lazarus does not like this construct:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   TmsWKWebViewCore = objcclass external(WKWebView)
2.   public
3.     { available in macos 10.11, ios 9.0 }
4.     procedure setCustomUserAgent(newValue: NSString); message 'setCustomUserAgent:';
5.     function customUserAgent: NSString; message 'customUserAgent';
6.   end;
7.   TmsWKWebView = objcclass(TmsWKWebViewCore, WKScriptMessageHandlerProtocol)
8.   public
9.     procedure userContentController_didReceiveScriptMessage(userContentController: WKUserContentController; message_: WKScriptMessage);
10.   end;
11.  

(gives a bunch of error linker errors objc_class)


However using

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.  
2. // while we use setNavigationDelegate, that solution is not possible with *WKScriptMessageHandlerProtocol* and need to implemented in main class
3. TmsWKWebView = objcclass(TmsWKWebViewCore, WKScriptMessageHandlerProtocol)
4.   public
5.     { available in macos 10.11, ios 9.0 }
6.     procedure setCustomUserAgent(newValue: NSString); message 'setCustomUserAgent:';
7.     function customUserAgent: NSString; message 'customUserAgent';
8.   public
9.     procedure userContentController_didReceiveScriptMessage(userContentController: WKUserContentController; message_: WKScriptMessage);
10.   end;
11.  

also causes problems since compiler then expects the UserAgent functions to be implemented and not externally bound.

Anyone has any news regarding WKWebView? Just returning to look into this yet again. Has WKWebView declarations beend merged into fpc/widgetset cocoa support?
