Invoking JavaScript function from WinForms

I've been working on application that needs to load page and display it in WebBrowser control. Requirement was to allow interaction between WinForms application and web page.

Here I will show a sample application where JavaScript function is called from WinForms application.
For this Blog I will be using Google Web elements , Google Web Elements allow you to easily add your favorite Google products to your website.

http://www.google.com/webelements/#!/custom-search

Process can be described by following steps:

Create Windows Forms application
Drop WebBrowser control into Form
Create Html with JavaScript function you want to call

Calling JavaScript function from WinForms application isn't so difficult.
.NET WebBrowser control has property Document which gets an HtmlDocument representing the Web page currently displayed in the WebBrowser control.

Well this javascript part is not well written ,maybe my Web God-Like Buddy (Rustan)) can clean this mess..lol

anyway here's the script

JAVASCRIPT

<script type="text/javascript">





google.load("elements", "1", {packages: "keyboard"});





var kbd;





function onLoad() {


var content = document.getElementById('content');


// Create the HTML for out text area


content.innerHTML = '<div>' +


'Demo of Invoking JavaScript using .NET' +


'.</div>' +


'<textarea id="t1" cols="47" rows="7"></textarea>';





kbd = new google.elements.keyboard.Keyboard(


[google.elements.keyboard.LayoutCode.ENGLISH],


['t1']);


}





function ChangeLayout() {





var LayOut=document.getElementById('txtLang').value;


kbd.setLayout(LayOut);   





}








function toggleVisible() {





if (kbd.isVisible()) {


kbd.setVisible(false);


} else {


kbd.setVisible(true);





}


}








google.setOnLoadCallback(onLoad);





</script>

So how can you call JavaScript functions in your WebBrowser control? Call the InvokeScript method on the HtmlDocument.

.NET CODE (winforms)

Sub SHOW_HIDE_VIR_KEYBOARD()


With Me.WBrowser





.Document.InvokeScript("toggleVisible", New Object() {""})  'call the javascript from the .htm files





End With


End Sub





Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdShow.Click


SHOW_HIDE_VIR_KEYBOARD()


End Sub








Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged


With Me.WBrowser


.Document.GetElementById("txtLang").InnerText = Trim(Me.ComboBox1.Text)  'parse data from winforms to Htm files


.Document.InvokeScript("ChangeLayout", New Object() {""})  'call the javascript from the .htm files





End With


End Sub

Conclusions:

With the ability to call JavaScript from .NET App you can now embed and extend web applications into native applications with ease. A native application gives you more control over the environment and access to computer resources that you cannot access from a web page. You can Mashup web applications with computer hardware or software in new and interesting ways.

The event will have parallel plenary sessions on topics and issues regarding FOSS in the morning, followed by
breakout sessions in the afternoon featuring introductory trainings on FOSS applications and concepts. Hundreds of teams worldwide celebrated SFD in 2010. Over 700 celebrants trooping to the University of the Phililppines Diliman Campus and around 1,500 pre-event celebrants in Lipa City College. And we are expecting more participants this year! Your full participation in the event would definitely contribute to this year's success.

Meebo began its life back in 2005 as a browser based instant messaging program, which supported various different IM Services. Including Facebook Chat, Google Talk, CafeMom to name just a few.

Meebo then expanded its service into Meebo Bar, that allows its 190 million unique users, to chat with friends via hundreds of websites, and currently send over 90 million messages daily through its service.

Meebo also has iOS and Android application developed for its service. Both Google and Beebo have approved the transaction that is subject to customary closing conditions. Meebo explained on its blog post today.

“Together with Google, we’re super jazzed to roll up our sleeves and get cracking on even bigger and better ways to help users and website owners alike,”-”We’ve had a blast building Meebo so far and we’re really excited to start the next leg of our journey.”
