So I'm writing a Javascript coding UI using C# Windows Forms. This is my code for when the "Run" button is pressed, in case it helps:
//If the button in the upper-right corner is clicked
private void run_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//If the program isn't running
if (!running)
{
//Show the web browser
webBrowser1.Visible = true;
richTextBox1.Visible = false;
//Set the label to Running
status.Text = "Running";
//Set the html text to this below
webBrowser1.DocumentText = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><script>\n" + richTextBox1.Text + "\n</script></body></html>";
//Set the "run" button to "stop"
run.Text = "Stop";
//Set the status to running
running = true;
}
//otherwise
else
{
//Show the text box
webBrowser1.Visible = false;
richTextBox1.Visible = true;
//Set the label to Ready
status.Text = "Ready";
//Go to nothingness
webBrowser1.Navigate("about:blank");
//Set the "stop" button to "run"
run.Text = "Run";
//Set the status to not running
running = false;
}
}
I run the program, and for the most part, everything works fine. However, when I try to use the console.log() command, the following error appears:
'console' is undefined
I also try Console.Log (I actually don't know Javascript; just trying my best) but that returns the same error, that 'Console' is undefined.
Also, once I get console.log working, how do I open the console on the WebBrowser control? I've tried searching the internet, but nothing has come up on either of these questions.
You can get JavaScript console output from within Visual Studio.
By default the webBrowser1 control uses IE7 to render it's output. IE7 does not have a console.log() function. In order to get the console.log() function to work, you need to add the following meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=11">
'IE=8' or greater should make the console.log() available to you.
When you debug a Windows Forms application it debugs using the .NET Managed Code debugger. In order to debug differently, instead of pressing 'Play' to debug, try selecting "Debug" > "Start without Debugging". Now once your application is running, go to "Debug" > "Attach to Process" and find your WindowsFormsApplication.exe, attach to it using the Script Code Debugger instead of the .NET Managed Code debugger.
Now, in Visual Studio:
