Creating a new WebView

...

Press the Add Content Layer button and select New content > WebView.

A new layer is added to the top of the layer list with type WebView. This is an embedded web browser and, as shown in the layer properties, defaults to the URL - https://www.igloovision.com.

...

Next, let’s add another new WebView using the New > WebView menu option and change the URL to https://www.microsoft.com . Drag the WebView to the right side of the canvas. Also try scaling the WebView using the Scale slider in the Geometry tab of the layer properties.

...

See the Layer Settings reference documentation for more information

Info

All content exists in Igloo Core Engine as a Layer. Layers have common properties such as size and position, and type specific properties such as a filepath for an image or video and a URL for a WebView.

...

When you have your two new WebViews scaled and positioned as you want them, you can save them to a session.

...

In the Session menu, select Save Session.Image Removed

...

The Save Session dialog will popup and you can pick both of your WebViews by name in the list of layers shown at the top. Click each WebView name with the left mouse button. Next enter a name for the session, such as ‘2 WebViews’. Finally press Save to save the session to the database.

...

Loading a Session

To test loading the session you have just saved, first of all remove the WebView layers from the layer list.

...

This is done by selecting each layer and pressing the Trash icon just to on the right of the Add Content layer button bar.

...

Once the WebViews are removed, press the Add Content button and select Load. The Load Content dialog will appear showing 3 tabs: Sessions, Media Files and Templates. Select the Sessions tab and then select the session you previously saved. This will load the WebViews back into the layer list and display them on the canvas.
