Dear Vilian,

You have to read it with memoRead() and place it inside your HTML code as explained above

If it is a remote CSS file then you have to download it using FWH WebPageContents( cUrl, lText, nSysWait ) and then StrTran() it into the HTML

Vilian, es un css personalizado? O uno estandar como bootstrap o tailwind?
Aqui uso uno web y funciona muy bien

Sino, como dice antonio, leerlo con Memoread e inscrustarlo en el codigo

Dear Vilian,
YES, Is it possible to load a local style file in the webview
It is not necessary to load the HTML code or the contents of the CSS file into a variable, nor to use a web server (although it is recommended for many other uses in combination with the webview).
I've attached the code for the prg you should use and the HTML, CSS to use.

Please replace the path shown in the examples with the correct path where your files are located.

Try it and let me know if it worked for you.

   oWebView = TWebView2():New( oWnd )

As soon as I have some time, I will publish an example of how to integrate a web server and webview into a graphical interface, all done with fivewin and harbor, obviously.
Look the message bar of images

I use
LOCAL cCss := BuildCss()

on this function I insert the css sample

Code: Select all | Expand


 TEXT INTO cCss
      html, body {
         font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;
         background-color: #F5F5EB;
         padding: 20px 5px 10px 5px;
         margin: 0;
         height: 100vh;
         overflow: hidden;
      }
      .container {
         display: flex;

then on html insert

<style>
{CSS}
</style>

at the end of the file html write

</body>
</html>
ENDTEXT
cHtml := StrTran(cHtml, "{CSS}", cCss)

and run ok

Obviously
The issue arises when you want to use your own stylesheet because your development is a bit more ambitious, or you "copy" a web page ( or entire site web ) from a project to run it in your webview.
