Display resizable website in resizable GUI (using chrome- or Firefox Browser) Topic is solved

[NOOBALARM]

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to display any websites in a resizable GUI and don't know how to make the actual website resize while I'm resizing my GUI window.
But most importantly, I'm hoping to be able to display the page by using either Chrome, Firefox or Edge browser as apposed to IE.
Thank you in advance!

Here's my code so far:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force
#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

gui +resize
Gui Add, Edit, w1080 r1 vURL, www.google.com			
URL=www.google.com
Gui Add, ActiveX, xm w1080 h920 vWB, Shell.Explorer
Gui Show,, Fenster
Gui, Maximize
WB.Silent := True
WB.Navigate(URL)
ComObjConnect(WB, WB_events)

Loop 6
{
    Gui Flash
    Sleep 500
}

class WB_events
{
    NavigateComplete2(wb, NewURL)
    {
        GuiControl,, URL, %NewURL%  ; Update the URL edit control.
    }
}

ESC::
	ExitApp

The problem is that you use an specific width and height for the ActiveX control. You can hook the resize message using onMessage to use a function that resizes the control according to the new gui size.

Thanks kyuuuri,
would you have an example of that.
I don't seem to be smart enough to understand the functions explanation in the help documentation.

Actually, HotKeyIt's example is way better and it's the right approach. Try it, it works fine.

Thank you HotKeyIt,
that was a mistake (posting in Hotkey_H).
I'm only using Autohotkey. Is there a good example you could share with me, similar to your first example? I like that approach

Attach, that should help you.

Cool, thanks @HotKeyIt!
Now I have some digging to do
Also, to my 2nd question, is there a way to use a different browser than the Internet Explorer?
