Fusion GUI Library version

Hello @BrianEkins ,

I have tried to display webpage using palette. I can view the webpage but unfortunately I cannot properly interact with the content because the version of the QT web browser that Fusion uses is outdated (that is if that is the only problem I'm experiencing 🙂 )

I have searched for the currently used version in Fusion by taking a look at the DLLs and if I'm not mistaken it is 6.2.4.0. The latest released version of QT library is 6.6 so it seems that Fusion is running on relatively old version.

I later noticed that Fusion probably uses the QT as its GUI library so I understand this is a long process but my question is if there are any plans to update the library to a newer version?

I've found a way to display web pages in palettes or their equivalents in products like Revit, Inventor or Civil using WebView2 and all work without an issue but since Fusion is written in C++ this is naturally not applicable.
QT library would seem like the best option here but since Fusion itself uses it, having 2 versions of the same library would probably cause DLL conflict at some point and would not allow me to use palette as a control which is a pity.

Thank you,
if I failed to realize something that's preventing me from viewing the webpage properly I'm sorry.

I don't know the internal details, but from my experience, moving to new versions of libraries used by multiple components is a slow process. Everything needs to be updated at the same time. It's impossible to say if the browser version is causing your problem. Does it work on all other browsers you've tested it on?

Yes, I have tried using different browsers without problem. I have also tried to view different webpages via the same palette.

 

Just loading the page is mostly functional but once I try to for example log into my account (tested on gmail, outlook, twitch, etc.) the page won't let me log in saying I have to update my browser. Gmail actually lets me log in but refuses to interact further until I update.
