SDB.WebControl

Post by Mike H »

I notice from exploring the MediaMonkey type library that there is a ISDBApplication.WebControl property in RC3, which returns an instance of WebBrowser.

How do you get the browser to display?

I have a little trick for you:

Code: Select all

Set WB = SDB.WebControl
WB.Navigate "http://www.steegy.be"
:lol: :lol:

(The browser window already has to be visible)

Cheers

Is it possible to make it visible on arbitrary nodes?

Admittedly I was only mucking around inside an ActiveX control explorer, but I couldn't see any way to make it visible.

I was wondering if I could make the podcast node from my plugin display a webpage (podcast directory of some kind).

Using the integrated web browser has been mentioned a few times, but I can't find out how you could make it display.

Thanks, Mike.

I thought I have already posted it somewhere, but anyway here is a short example how to do it:

Code: Select all

Sub OnStartup
  Set Tree = SDB.MainTree

  Set Node = Tree.CreateNode
  Node.Caption = "Test Web"
  Node.IconIndex = 0
  Script.RegisterEvent Node, "OnNodeFocused", "NodeFocus"
  Script.RegisterEvent Tree.Node_Artist, "OnNodeFocused", "NodeFocus"

  Tree.AddNode Tree.Node_Artist, Node, 1     ' Insert after the node
  Node.HasChildren = True
End Sub

Function NodeFocus( Node)
  NodeFocus = 2
  SDB.WebControl.Navigate "http://www.mediamonkey.com"
End Function

I'm trying to get a script to use the WebControl and I can get the page to display if there is already a webnode displayed, but I can't get the webcontrol to focus otherwise. How do you do this (not from a node)?

I think that it isn't possible, actually it wouldn't be too logical in my opinion too have web browser visible for a node where otherwise track list is shown. You can either:

- Select (using script commands) your node and thus show web browser.
- Or show web browser separately, e.g. on a dockable panel.

Good point! Ok, I'm sorted now - cheers :)

Unrelated question - is there any way to know (from code) what background image or colours the user has currently?

No, it isn't possible yet. I think it would make sense to add some support for skin/images support in MM.

Yes, with dockable panels now available, being able to colour them to match the users skin would be very useful. Cheers! :)

Jiri could you give a long example of how to add a node under the web node? :)

@winnie666
I just tried it here

You just copy the code, and save it to a .vbs file in the MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto folder

Start up MediaMonkey, and you'll have a web node under /Library/Test Web

I think if you see

Code: Select all

Sub OnStartup
In the top of any script, you can assume it's one that just drops into the \Auto folder. Makes it easy to try out and easy to take out.

Well yeah, but you can also asume from the scripts.ini file that while all the other scripts dont run on startup this one does :) Damn it i will become a member...
