Delphi Gecko SDK - did anyone succeeded with that + XULRunner 1.9?

Question

Hi, I did a checkout of d-gecko SDK from sf.net ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/d-gecko/ ). I wanted to try it with Gecko (XULRunner) 1.9, however when running simple application each time I get error in stdcall function, pointing to WebBrowser.Paint line ... My question is - did anyone succeeded to run GeckoSDK Delphi app in XULRunner 1.9? If so - how? Did it worked out-of-the-box for you?

Thanks m.

Answer 1

I had also this problem. I just neutralized baseWin.Repaint(True);
Il all worked perfectly afterward

procedure TCustomGeckoBrowser.Paint;
var
  rc: TRect;
  baseWin: nsIBaseWindow;
begin
  if csDesigning in ComponentState then
  begin
    rc := ClientRect;
    Canvas.FillRect(rc);
  end else
  begin
    baseWin := FWebBrowser as nsIBaseWindow;
    //baseWin.Repaint(True);
  end;
  inherited;
end;

You need to navigate somewhere before the webbrowser first attempts to paint itself. So, LoadURI() must be called before the component is visible.

Easiest solution: Call LoadURI('about:blank') before the component is visible.
