Currently I have a code like this to display a google map with my current location in my TWebBrowser
procedure TForm1.LocationSensor1LocationChanged(Sender: TObject; const
OldLocation, NewLocation: TLocationCoord2D);
begin
var URLString := Format('https://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s,%s&output=embed', [Format('%2.6f', [NewLocation.Latitude]), Format('%2.6f', [NewLocation.Longitude])]);
WebBrowser1.Navigate(URLString);
end;
If I use my URL as https://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s,%s
then it works properly but when I use my URL as https://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s,%s&output=embed
then it will prompt an error "The Google Maps Embed API must be used in an iframe" as shown in the picture
Is there a way I could have an iframe in my delphi project?
CodePudding user response:
As the error message says, Google's embedded map wants to be hosted in an HTML <iframe>
. TWebBrowser
has a LoadFromStrings()
method that you can use for that purpose, eg:
procedure TForm1.LocationSensor1LocationChanged(Sender: TObject;
const OldLocation, NewLocation: TLocationCoord2D);
begin
var URL := Format('https://maps.google.com/maps?q=%2.6f,%2.6f&output=embed', [NewLocation.Latitude, NewLocation.Longitude]);
var HTML = Format('<iframe src="%s" width="%d" height="%d" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy"></iframe>', [URL, <DesiredWidth>, <DesiredHeight>]);
WebBrowser1.LoadFromStrings(HTML, URL);
end;
