RadWebBrowserItem

[Kenneth Jackson]

I'm keen to use RadWebBrowserItems in carousel.

I can get multiple browser items - navigate them etc.

What I want is only the selecteditem to be full size and function as
a browser.
The others in the background i want to resize the WHOLE viewable
area of the webpage into the reduced background size . So ie: shrink
the non selected ones but keep everything on the page still showing.

I also want to get the non selected ones to be brought back as bitmaps
to disallow link clicking on background items.

Need help understanding how to use the getasbitmap methods.

Hello Kenneth Jackson,

Thank you for writing.

Unfortunately, you cannot add a web browser as a CarouselItem because there is an issue with the Z indexes of Hosted items. They are always on top.

If you have any additional questions, please contact me.

All the best,

Thanks for the prompt response.

One question lies unanswered still in that I need to understand
how to use the GetAsBitmap method of the RadWebBrowserItem
and the GetAsBitmap method of the RadWebBrowser element.

Is there any code on the forums/site u could pls point me to or give
an example here. I don't seem to be able to find any sample code
for the use of this method.

Thanks

Hello Kenneth Jackson,

Thank you for getting back to me.

Here is a simple call to the GetAsBitmap functon:

Bitmap itemBitmap = this.GetAsBitmap(Brushes.White, 0, new SizeF(1, 1));

Unfortunately, this function does not work for RadWebBrowserItem, because this item is a simple wrapper for the IE COM library. The IE COM library does not allow taking a screenshot of the content of the browser it hosts.

Please, let me know, if you have other questions.
