Hi,

Is there a way to access the favourite list for the web browser using AppGameKit? Tier 1 preferably, but Tier 2 if needed. Also, can I start the browser programmatically?

Thanks,

Ahh ok, does that mean that it can be hacked up in Tier2?

I don't see why not. Most native languages have commands for that sort of thing.

Sure. Though, if you want to use it for multiplatform, you'd have to have function like this:

+ Code Snippet

void app::DisplayWebView(float x, float y, float width, float height)
{
    #ifdef AGKWINDOWS
    //Windows-native fuctions / library / anyhow you want to do it.
    #endif
    #ifdef AGKIOS
    //How you do it on iOS.
    #endif
    #ifdef IDE_BLACKBERRY
    //How you'd do it on blackberry playbook.
    #endif
    
    // And so on.


}

Quite possible. Though, I have no idea about opening a web view under ios / android / playbook (never needed one), you might be better with simply opening up browser application and giving it certain site to open. (Sadly, playbook's documentation is rather lacking, so it's hard to find instructions/tutorials for it)
