      Hi,

      once again, I'm starting to feel a bit stupid.

      I saw this thread: https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/14180/customgui_htmlviewer-didn-t-work-when-mouse-out-the-dialog

      So, I have a plugin with an asynchronous dialog (plugin ID is provided upon dialog open). The dialog has a quicktab interface switching between multiple subdialogs. One of them is supposed to have a HtmlViewerCustomGui to show a webpage.

      Basically my code looks pretty equal to the demo code in above linked thread.
      But for some reason I only end up with a black area, which doesn't react to anything (e.g. no context menu on right click).

      Having read through above thread multiple times now, I started to wonder, if the subdialog may be the problem?
      So, I quickly replaced my entire dialog content with just the HTML view (just main dialog with HTML view) and that worked as expected. But back in my tabbed dialog and HTML view in subdialog all I get is blackness.

      Is there anything special one has to pay attention to, when using HTML custom gui in a subdialog?

      Thanks for your help in advance,
      Andreas

        Hi Andreas, hope you are going well.
        Sadly this is a know issue and a limitation, you can't hide/show a HTML view for the moment.

        Cheers,
        Maxime.
