foo_webview2 is a foobar2000 component that exposes the Microsoft Edge WebView2 control as a UI element or panel. This is a fork of foo_uie_webview.

It takes an HTML file that receives notifications from and can interact with foobar2000. The panel can react to those notifications and adjust its output using JavaScript. In addition, a host object provides a number of methods and properties to interact with foobar2000 and the visualization stream can be accessed through a shared buffer.

Features

• Supports the Default User Interface (Default UI) and the Columns User Interface (Columns UI).
• Includes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 component variants as well as ARM64EC.
• Built for Windows 10 or later.

Requirements

• foobar2000 v2.0 or later (32 or 64-bit).
• Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (preinstalled in Windows 10 and 11).

Validation

• Tested with foobar2000 2.25.6.
• Tested with Columns UI 3.2.3.
• Tested with WebView2 144.0.3719.93.
• Tested on Microsoft Windows 11 (Build 26200).

Forked from foo_uie_webview v0.3.0.0-alpha3. Features:

• Add timestamp argument to `onTimer()` callback
• Convert relative paths that begin with "file://" to native paths
• Add ability to load a user-specified COM interface as host object
  • Use `__cdecl` instead of `__stdcall` for COM interface
• Add borderless fullscreen mode to Default UI element and Columns UI panel
  • Add "Alt+Enter" key combination to enter and exit fullscreen
• Add DPI-aware icon loader
• Support relative file paths (to the user profile directory) in the Preferences page
  • Expand `%fb2k_profile_path%` in addition to environment variables
• Implement instance selector in Preferences page
• Enable ARM64 and ARM64EC builds
• Reduce x64 DLL size by 256 KB or 29% (from 884,736 bytes in 0.3.2-alpha0 to 622,592 bytes in 0.3.3)

Optimizations:

• Change shared buffer to "read only"
