Web Page Viewer

🔘Our new html page 📄viewer software called "WebPageViewer" was developed by us using the 'Visual Basic' programming language ( part of the MicroSoftⓇ Visual Studio Community 2022 edition development suite ), and has just been finished. Although it is basically a browser, its main purpose is to facilitate the design of html pages 🗐 for our µ-controller projects which have embedded web-servers,  such as the Green-House Gas Sensors 🏭( 01.12.24 )  and Solarometer 🌞( 13.10.24 ), and not for online browsing.
Application window after navigating to this blog
The main window has an uncluttered appearance, free from sidebars and bookmarks, to maximise space; menu bar and tool strip comprising address box and buttons 🔲at the top, page display area underneath and a progress bar in the status strip at the bottom. The width of the page display area defaults to be the same as the horizontal screen resolution ( 1080 px ) of the smart-phone 📱that will be used to display the page, making it quick and easy to see the effect of design changes when arranging the elements on a page in order to suit the phone screen size.  
'About' window displayed after clicking the menu-bar item
As is typical, version information 🛈, copyright © notice and a brief description of the application are contained in the 'About' window, which is a common feature of all our in-house 🏠software running on the WindowsⓇ OS. 🔳
