GMLib 1.5.5 Rio have stopped working

[vpapanik]

Hello,

All programs using GMLib 1.5.5 have stopped working (including MegaDemo). The error message is

Is there any way to fix this problem ?

[vpapanik]

I also tried to compile it with TChromium, but it cannot be compiled with its latest version.

I Got the same error. 1.5.5 on Rio.

Hi, Try this. It works for me. The problem was the api version (too old on gmlib component) (see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/versions )

In your map.html file ( line 15) on \Resources folder: replace this:

for this:

If you use TWebBrowser on Rio or previus, you get a google api warning that your webbrowser not support javascript. Add this line on

I guess with TChromium it's not necesary.

After the changes on map.html file you need to recompile the resources run rc.cmd file and build all projects on your project.

I read on Version 10.4, TWebBrowser have a property SelectedEngine that you can change to Edge (Chromium) (not tested)

Hi

Thank you.

(and do not forget to run "rc.cmd" in same folder)

[vpapanik]

In August 2022, Google Maps are fully decommissioning the Internet Explorer 11. I'm working in a new version to use TEdgeBrowser or Chromium but it is still in a very early version

GMLib stoped working like in vpapanik report from 2022-02-22. Looks like trouble with version of Google API, but can't be fixed with recomended method. Tested with version 3.48 and 3.49 which are supported by Google, see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/versions . Sorry for Czech version of dialog :)

[cadetill]

consider the change to GMLib v2 (currently under development).

[Raymond-Ng]

Is there still any workaround available ?

[tomashruska]

Workaround:

1. increase API version to 3.48 - described in this discussion
2. set emulation of higher version of IE or switch to other browser core

[Raymond-Ng]

how to do the following if using Delphi 7 ? and which other browser can work in Delphi 7?

2. set emulation of higher version of IE or switch to other browser core

[tomashruska]

It's Windows settings i.e. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/830338/getting-browser-emulation-value-as-7000-even-thoug.html of course you can do it dy Delphi.

[vpapanik]

In map.html I changed line #15 to version 3.48

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.48&key=API_KEY&libraries=weather,panoramio,geometry,drawing,visualization"></script>

I tried to add a DWORD value (11001) in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION

but it didn't work.

I am certainly missing something here.

[chaupero]

I got the same error. But can't doit work, Last version working on IE11 is 3.47.

You need TEdgeBrowser.

[cfatihb]

Hello everbody, How is run gmlib_v1 with TEdgeBrowser ? or do work gmlib_v1 another way? my error 80020101.

[tomashruska]

Code for IE higher version emulation: var regKey: TRegistry; var ieversion: integer := 9*1000 + 1; regKey := TRegistry.Create; regKey.RootKey := HKEY_CURRENT_USER; regKey.OpenKey('Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION', true); var keyText := TPath.getFileName(Application.ExeName); if not regKey.ValueExists(keyText) then begin regKey.WriteInteger(keyText, ieVersion); regKey.CloseKey; regKey.Free; ShowMessage('Compatibility IE mode written. Application will be terminated, start it again.'); Application.Terminate; end; regKey.CloseKey; regKey.Free;

[vpapanik]

Workaround: 1. increase API version to 3.48 - described in this discussion 2. set emulation of higher version of IE or switch to other browser core

Do you mean that you managed to make GMLib v1 work with IE using emulation ?

[tomashruska]

Yes, i use it in real project.

[vpapanik]

Yes, i use it in real project.

Are you sure ?

I have increased API to version 3.48 in map.html (recompiled) I am using the v1 of GMLib I added 11001 (2af9) emulation in registry for my executable I am using the TWebBrowser component

and I am still getting an error. What I did wrong ?

[tomashruska]

My configuration:

• Win 10
• Delphi 10.3
• gmlib v.1 fork https://github.com/rclab-auth/GMLib-Delphi-Sydney-10.4.git
• changed map.html to ver. 3.48
• recompiled resources
• added code for IE higher version emulation (see older comment) It works for me.

[vpapanik]

Excellent ! it works for me too. Code is 9001 after all. Thanks a million @tomashruska

You are Perfect Tomas :) thanks this all

[Raymond-Ng]

Yes, working now. Magic word is 9001. Thanks !!!

[vpapanik]

Yes, working now. Magic word is 9001. Thanks !!!

It doesn't make very much sense but it works perfectly. Tried other emulator codes (10001, 11001) and it fails.

This 9001 code does not even exist : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/general-info/ee330730(v=vs.85)?redirectedfrom=MSDN

[vpapanik]

It seems that ANY number WORKS except those corresponding to a real code (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/general-info/ee330730(v=vs.85)?redirectedfrom=MSDN)

Try zero, it works.

EDIT : Someone else, has found it too : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70469629/change-feature-browser-emulation-in-vba-excel-for-internet-explorer

[jadermjr]

hey how is everything?

I'm having problems running on some machines with different versions of windows.

windows version (Imag. 1) 22H2 - 19045.2364

Internet explorer cannot run anymore, it opens Edge when executed.

Working normally.

In windows with version 21H2 - 19044.2364 (imag. 2), internet explorer can still be executed, the available version is 11, even so the error occurs.

can you help me?

I thank the attention.

[vpapanik]

As of today, you need to change the version to 3.49 on Resources/map.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.49&key=API_KEY&libraries=weather,panoramio,geometry,drawing,visualization"></script>

Then run rc.bat and rebuild all libraries.

Don't forget to use ZERO (0) as a value in registry (Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION) next to the the executable name.
