Result

Returns webviewer reference number or error.

Description

Creates a new webview inside the window on top of popover with the given rectangle.
This is WebKit 1.x view, so all the PDF/Image rendering functions, download delegate and callback should work.

The view is released automatically when window closes.
Webviewers created via WebView.Create or WebView.CreateOnPopover are independent of FileMaker, so they don't reload with a record change. They also don't print with the layout and stay if you change the layout.

Examples

Create WebView:

Set Variable [ $x ; Value: 10 ]
Set Variable [ $y ; Value: 55 ]
Set Variable [ $w ; Value: 837 - 10 - $x ]
Set Variable [ $h ; Value: 522 - 10 - $y ]
#
Set Variable [ $w ; Value: MBS("WebView.CreateOnPopover"; 0; "MyPopover"; $x; $y; $w; $h) ]
If [ MBS("IsError") = 0 ]
Set Variable [ $$web ; Value: $w ]
Set Field [ WebViewer on Popover::URL ; "http://www.mbs-plugins.com" ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "WebView.LoadURL"; $$web; WebViewer on Popover::URL) ]
End If
