Viewing a pdf inside VisualWorks?
Locked
 
|
Is there a way to view pdf file inside VisualWorks. I have a series of pdf file the I would like to display in a window in a visualwork app that I am writing. I realize that I can open an external app to do this from VW but it would be cleaner to contain it in VW.

You could ask Cincom to support an embedded WebBrowser, like this: http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/antony/blogView?showComments=true&printTitle=PDF_support_in_WebKit_in_VW&entry=3375919446
. Or you could do that embedding yourself. It's not hard to embed WebKit on OSX, other platforms may be more work.

If you are on Windows you can check out smallcom from Joseph at
http://www.joops.com/ I think it comes on the VW CD as an example. @+Maarten, ----- Original Message ----- From: "Antony Blakey" <[hidden email]> To: "erikgj" <[hidden email]> Cc: <[hidden email]> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2008 2:50 PM Subject: Re: [vwnc] Viewing a pdf inside VisualWorks? > > You could ask Cincom to support an embedded WebBrowser, like this: > http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/antony/blogView?showComments=true&printTitle=PDF_support_in_WebKit_in_VW&entry=3375919446 > . > > Or you could do that embedding yourself.

Thanks for the input. I am reviewing my options. I am working on windows so smallcom is a good idea thanks. I have seen Joop packages but was unaware that they can display pdfs through com.

I'll note that we plan to be able to support embedding
ActiveX controls in 7.7.

Bear in mind that you can get this right now using ObjectStudio 8 - which you have as a Cincom Smalltalk customer. I did a screencast on that here:
