Installation

Install ECMap

• Simply open the ECMap.dpk file in the Source directory
• Right-click ECMap.bpl in the project manager and click install
• Add the Source directory in the list of libraries - Win32 (Menu Tools - Options).

You can install the component that will be on ECMaps tab of the Component palette

Install TECNativeMap

Repeat the procedure above but with the files ECNativeMAP.dpk (Vcl) and FMX.ECNativeMAP.dpk (Firemonkey)

Activate Chromium

To use the Google Chromium browser instead of Internet Explorer you must first install the component Delphi Chromium Embedded CEF1 developed by Henri Gourvest.

ECMap also supports Delphi Chromium Embedded CEF3

Always take the latest versions present on SVN

Edit the Delphi_Versions.inc file included with ECMap and replace {.$DEFINE CHROMIUM} by {$DEFINE CHROMIUM}

If you are using a version of Chromium CEF1 <= 275 you must replace {$DEFINE CEF275_UP} by {.$DEFINE CEF275_UP}

To use CEF3 replace {.$DEFINE CEF3} par {$DEFINE CEF3}

You can now install the ECMap component, use TECMap.DisplayBrowser property values dbIE or dbChromium

You will need to distribute binaries of chromium with your executable, they are in bin\win32.

In the .dpr of your project you can specify the path to the binary

program demomap;

uses

ceflib,sysutils,
Forms,
UMainDemoMap in 'UMainDemoMap.pas' ;

{$R *.RES}


begin

CefLibrary := expandfilename('.\bin\win32\libcef.dll');


Application.Initialize;
Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;
Application.CreateForm(TFormDemoECMap, FormDemoECMap);
Application.Run;

end.

Here you will have the subdirectory bin\win32 at the same level as your executable

CEF3 lets you use multiple processes, by default this is not the case, single process mode is recommended only for debugging not for delivery.

To enable multi-process mode you must add these 2 lines after CefLibrary := ... in your .dpr

CefSingleProcess := False;
if not CefLoadLibDefault then Exit;
