[Lazarus] Help - turbopower ipro - anchors

[Martin]

Hi,

Sorry to post for help, it's my last resort! If anyone has any 
experience with turbopower_ipro, I would be very grateful if you could 
give me a little help please?

I've been knocking something up using similar code found in 
examples/turbopower_ipro/mainunit.pas for a bunch of local html documents.

I am using the OpenHTMLFile(const Filename : string) procedure (from the 
examples folder), and this fails unless it is an html file. It doesn't 
take anchor values. So I intercept the hotlinks and call 
MakeAnchorVisible(Anchor) on the htmlpanel if it is an anchor (but found 
finally after the reading the source code that I had to remove the 
leading # first), or OpenHTMLFile if it is a document. All good so far.

Showing anchors work if they relate to the same html document currently 
loaded (e.g. link = '#section02'), as I only call MakeAnchorVisible** 
and not OpenHTMLFile. If a HotLink points to another document and an 
anchor at the same time, e.g. something like 'doc-002.htm#section03' 
then I have a problem. I split the url, load the html document and then 
call MakeAnchorVisible on the trailing anchor value.

The problem is the page loads but the anchor does not show. 
MakeAnchorVisible seems to do nothing, the top of the html is shown at 
the top of the panel, which is what OpenHTMLFile does. I have tried all 
sorts of weird and wonderful things to get this to work. All to no avail.

I am guessing that I am calling MakeAnchorVisible before the htmlpanel 
has finished parsing all the nodes in the displayed html, so it does not 
know where that anchor is and does nothing??? I can't seem to find a 
suitable event (e.g. IHaveFinishedLoadingAndParsingHTML!) to call 
MakeAnchorVisible.

As usual sitting here on my lonesome, wearing my "Total Noob" hat, I am 
probably going about things completely the wrong way and have approached 
this wrong from the beginning. Kick me if necessary :-)

Will take a little break I think and come back to this tomorrow (Sunday) 
as my brain is frizzled!

Thanks in advance.

**Actually the start of the anchor shows at the bottom of the htmlpanel, 
which is not what you would want. I fixed this by calling Scroll(hsaEnd) 
on the panel first, which scrolls the panel to the end of the html 
document, before calling MakeAnchorVisible. This way the anchor shows at 
the top of the htmlpanel and you can read the section without scrolling.
