Hello,
in our Application we use at the moment for each tab a new Engine (to separate Sessions)
but now we want to improve the startup performance of each tab and we want to preload the next tab in background
I found this topic of preloading a webview (https://www.essentialobjects.com/forum/postst9873_EOWebBrowser-preloading.aspx)
but we cannot set a new engine to the webview
I also tried to set the webview to a new Window, found in this topic (https://www.essentialobjects.com/forum/postst9873_EOWebBrowser-preloading.aspx)
but this only works if i open the window
so my question is, is there another way to preload a webview with a new engine or do you know another way to do this
maybe a function like EO.WebBrowser.WebView.Preload("http://www.google.com", newEngine) would be fine.
or is there another way to open different tabs (maybe with the same engine) but with different session-scopes
thank you

Hi,
There isn't a built-in way for you to preload a WebView with a specific Engine. What you can do is to use a ThreadRunner in the background to create a WebView to load the target page. Note that you can NOT use this preloaded WebView directly in your UI because it is attached to a background thread. This means you will still need to create another WebView for your UI. However pre-creating a separate WebView has the following benefit:
1. The engine would have been already created and initialized;
2. The corresponding resource (such as images and JavaScript) needed by the web page would have already been in the cache;
This should speed up things somewhat.
Thanks!
