Hello friends,
I tried to map the FiveWin components Splitter, TEXplorerBar, Buttons, Panels, and TSay, Memo to a WebView2 embedded application:
Best regards,

SPLITTER: While there's no direct HTML equivalent for a splitter, you can create a resizable split view using JavaScript and CSS. This would allow users to adjust the space allocated to different sections of the UI, similar to the SPLITTER in FiveWin.
TEXplorerBar or Accordions: In a web context within WebView2, you can use Bootstrap's Accordion component or a similar JavaScript/CSS implementation to create collapsible sections that mimic the TEXplorerBar's functionality.
Buttons: Buttons in FiveWin can be directly translated to <button> elements in HTML. These buttons can be styled with CSS and made interactive with JavaScript, functioning within the WebView2 control.
Panels (TPanel): Use <div> elements in HTML to replicate the panels in FiveWin. With appropriate CSS styling, these <div> elements can visually and functionally represent panels, organizing content and controls on the page.
Text Fields (TGet, TMemo, etc.): Text input fields in FiveWin can be mapped to <input type="text"> or <textarea> elements in HTML, allowing for user input within the WebView2 embedded content.
By embedding WebView2 in your application, you effectively create a hybrid environment where you can utilize web technologies for the UI and interact with the native application layer for deeper system integration or advanced functionalities. This approach offers a modern and versatile way to develop applications that combine the best of web and native worlds.
