WebUI4Delphi

WebUI4Delphi is a WebUI wrapper, which allows you to use any web browser as a GUI, with Delphi in the backend and HTML5 in the frontend.

WebUI4Delphi can be used in 64 bit Delphi applications for Windows. Linux and MacOS support needs testing.

WebUI4Delphi was developed and tested on Delphi 12.0 but it also supports Delphi XE2.

WebUI4Delphi includes VCL, FireMonkey (FMX) and console examples.

If you need to embed a web browser instead of using the installed web browser then consider using CEF4Delphi or WebView4Delphi.
