display html5 page in the application

Post by chenbin.sh »

I want to display html5 page using twitter-bootstrap in my application. The html page should be stored in memory because I want to update the html rendering frequently. It's kind of like some interactive html design page, when user tweak something in the control panel, he/she will get the visual feed back immediately.

My question is if I use wxWebkit (or webkit directly?), any catch up? Any problem if I use wxFileSystem together with webkit?

With wxWebView both things should be possible. But as it's a relatively new control, it's always possible there are some bugs in it. Just try it and if you encounter bugs, report them.
Use the source, Luke!

wxWebView can do it... except on Windows < 8. Since this control uses Internet Explorer on Windows, and IE versions prior to 10 have limited to no HTML 5 support (well you may get lucky and get sufficient HTML5 support from IE9, but in IE < 9 forget about it, HTML5 won't work)

For what it's worth, the Twitter Bootstrap framework mentioned here is compatible with IE7+, it just degrades a bit and doesn't look as nice.

HTML5 is designed to work even in older browsers, so chenbin.sh should be fine with wxWebView even on Windows XP with IE7.
