Poor-man Electron
Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2019 03:14 PM

Electron concept is to use web apps as desktop apps.

With these small batch files we launch our remote web apps developed with mod_harbour:

Once Edge shows press F11 to hide the navigation bar (any idea to do this programmatically?)

myapp.vbs

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

Set objIE = CreateObject( "Shell.Application" )

objIE.Open( "microsoft-edge://harbour.fourtech.es/modharbour_samples/genesis/index.prg" )

myapp.bat //this option is worse as a cmd window is shown

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

start microsoft-edge:https://harbour.fourtech.es/modharbour_samples/genesis/index.prg

regards, saludos

This seems as a very good candidate also, but I am unable to make it run. Help!

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

start microsoft-edge:http://google.com
>> $wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
>> $wshell.AppActivate('Google - Microsoft Edge')
>> Sleep 2
>> $wshell.SendKeys('{F11}')

regards, saludos

This seems to be a good one but SendKeys is not working yet:

myapp.vbs

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

set ws = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
ws.Run( "microsoft-edge://harbour.fourtech.es/modharbour_samples/genesis/index.prg" )
ws.AppActivate( "Edge" )
ws.SendKeys( "{F11}" )

regards, saludos

Cristobal,

This one maximizes it:

myapp.bat

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

start chrome --kiosk -app=https://harbour.fourtech.es/modharbour_samples/genesis/index.prg

Yes, but it is better to keep the preferences of the last session of the user.

Si, pero es mejor mantener las preferencias de la ultima sesion del usuario.

Be Carefull using the Chrome Kiosk option ...

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

start chrome --kiosk -app=https://harbour.fourtech.es/modharbour_samples/genesis/index.prg

alt+F4 closes the Kiosk app ..
