Kev(Posted 2014) [#1]
been a very long time since i was here, have a couple of questions if you can help me out

1) does maxgui support a browser feature? so i can design webpage fields and store them in an ofline database

2) can i hook this up to send and populate to an online database?

3) is this an easy port from windows to mac?

cheers

1) Yes, there's a (somewhat basic) HTML viewer built-in
2) Depends on how you're doing it -- you can trigger the HTML viewer to load a remote php/asp/whatever page that interfaces with a back-end database
3) No idea, although typically the BRL stuff works on all three of the supported platforms.

Alternatively, I think that Brucey's wxwidgets module will also do HTML, and it's cross-platform.

The Linux version of the HTML view control is more of a raw text viewer than anything though. I recommend using Qt5's web kit as most Linux distros have all the Qt libraries build-in and packaged with the OS. :) I'm using Qt's browser for one of my projects but it's designed in Qt completely so I'm not sure if it's possible to somehow use that in BlitzMax. :(
