Has anyone successfully used WebKit in Delphi?
WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system framework version of the engine that’s used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X applications.
I want to create an iPhone/iPad Mobile Simulator same as in electricplum. (I have tried the FREE version – seems like it also uses Adobe AIR).
With Safari browser we have the most accurate preview results for iPhone mobile sites. so I would like to embed the WebKit (that is used by Safari) in my application, so my customers can have a reliable preview of their mobile web sites.
I have searched the web, but could not find a working code. (The best I could find was this, but it’s not working).
The 3 main problems with Delphi Chromium Embedded suggested in the answers are that:
- It does not support D5
- I can overcome the fact that there is no support for D5 (creating the component with D7 in a separate process or DLL) But, It is very unstable! I have tested it with D7: Random access violations.
- It does not render HTML pages with div layout/HTML5 same as Safari does (or electricplum – “Electric Mobile Simulator”).
Have a look at DelphiChromiumEmbedded. It’s not Safari, but it is Webkit based at least…
