If people find it challenging to render a webkit or Qt5 widget into FlightGear, they'd be well-advised to simply come up with a custom Canvas::Element child class - which I also understand how to do, and James has previously done that, too (he implemented/prototyped Canvas::Image for handling raster images), so he understaands perfectly how to extend the Canvas system to support other "elements". | If people find it challenging to render a webkit or Qt5 widget into FlightGear, they'd be well-advised to simply come up with a custom Canvas::Element child class - which I also understand how to do, and James has previously done that, too (he implemented/prototyped Canvas::Image for handling raster images), so he understaands perfectly how to extend the Canvas system to support other "elements". | ||
This path is unrelated to PUI or pui2canvas - it's just a way of rendering into the FligthGear window, without having to do much homework - it'll just work, which includes event handling etc - Tom implemented that almost half a decade ago, indeed at the encouragement of James and others back then ...<ref>{{cite web | This path is unrelated to PUI or pui2canvas - it's just a way of rendering into the FligthGear window, without having to do much homework - it'll just work, which includes event handling etc - Tom implemented that almost half a decade ago, indeed at the encouragement of James and others back then ...<ref>{{cite web | ||

replacing the PUI menubar with a Canvas-based one is trivial - the code on the wiki actually worked, i.e. is parsing menubar.xml and creates buttons that create popups with the corresponding entries.<ref>{{cite web | |||
