Is there a web browser component for use in FireMonkey application?

Question

For Delphi VCL there is TWebBrowser and some 3rd party components like TEmbeddedWebBrowser available for browsing a web.

Is there a similar web browser component but for Firemonkey framework in Delphi XE2 (ideally with Windows and Mac support) ?

Answer 1

You can use the ChromiumEmbedded package for Delphi. There's a TChromiumFMX component which is suited for FireMonkey applications. I've tested the demo project from the repository and it works fine for 32-bit Windows.

However I can't tell you if nor how to build and use it in Mac OS. The only thing I can tell you is that the ChromiumEmbedded for Delphi is distributed only with Windows binaries, the binaries for Mac OS you can download from here.

Answer 2

As far as I know (!), the situation is as follows:

• CromiumEmbedded supports OSX (& Windows of course)
• There is a Delphi ChromiumEmbedded
• Delphi supports OSX through the FireMonkey framework
• There is even a FireMonkey version of the Delphi ChromiumEmbedded
• The Delphi/FireMonkey ChromiumEmbedded does not support OSX

If somebody knows better, that would be fantastic.
