Description

〔BlitzLLVM〕 This command does not exist in the original Blitz products. BlitzLLVM adds it.

Makes a gadget that is meant to show a web page, and returns its handle. The style 1 stops the context menu and 2 stops the user from following links (the link is then given by HtmlViewEventURL); both are accepted and ignored.

Differences

• There is no web browser inside the window yet: the gadget is a frame that shows the address it was sent to, and no page is loaded. Windows could embed WebView for it; Linux and macOS have nothing similar. The original BlitzPlus had this command turned off in its runtime too.
