[QUOTE="reagan+carter, post: 125211, member: 24635"] hello dalanorth, i had used (to some extents) the Internet Explorer webcontrol and needed this kind of feature (i.e. skin dependent resizing). This control was pretty nasty to correctly embed in a MediaPortal UI. A quick workaround I've tried was to stretch the control the size of a dummy MediaPortal GUIControl which, in turn, could be easily resized using skin XML entries. [CODE] using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using MediaPortal.GUI.Library; namespace MediaPortal.Messaging.Core { /// <summary> /// Simple webbrowser wrapper. /// </summary> public class GUIHTMLReader : GUIControl { WebBrowser HTMLReader; public String Document { get { return HTMLReader.DocumentText; } set { HTMLReader.DocumentText = value; } } public GUIHTMLReader(int dwParentID) : base(dwParentID) { } public GUIHTMLReader(int dwParentID, int dwControlId, int dwPosX, int dwPosY, int dwWidth, int dwHeight) : base(dwParentID, dwControlId, dwPosX, dwPosY, dwWidth, dwHeight) { } public override void AllocResources() { base.AllocResources(); Log.Debug("GUIHTMLReader : AllocResources"); //Create the actual generic container HTMLReader = new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser(); HTMLReader.SetBounds(XPosition, YPosition, Width, Height); InitWebComponentOptions(); this.IsVisible = false; GUIGraphicsContext.form.Controls.Add(HTMLReader); } void InitWebComponentOptions() { HTMLReader.AllowNavigation = false; HTMLReader.AllowWebBrowserDrop = false; HTMLReader.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true; HTMLReader.WebBrowserShortcutsEnabled = false; HTMLReader.ScrollBarsEnabled = true; } public override void FreeResources() { base.FreeResources(); Log.Debug("GUIHTMLReader : Dispose"); HTMLReader.Dispose(); } public override bool IsVisible { get { return base.IsVisible; } set { base.IsVisible = value; if (value) HTMLReader.Show(); else HTMLReader.Hide(); } } } } [/CODE] + in the Init() procedure of the plugin: [CODE] //Pre-register the simplecontainer control class so that the factory knows how to create it //It will be used as a container for the webbrowser component GUIControlFactory.RegisterControl("htmlreader", typeof(GUIHTMLReader)); //Then load the GUI using the XML skin file bool bResult = Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\mymessage.xml"); [/CODE] Then in the skin XML the webcontrol size could be specified and tweaked by skinners: [CODE] <control> <description>HTML frame area</description> <type>htmlreader</type> <id>52</id> <posX>260</posX> <posY>222</posY> <width>410</width> <height>300</height> </control> [/CODE] maybe this could be of any help [/QUOTE]
