FireMonkey is a different story.

while working with FireMonkey (FMX), especially when integrating with native components like WebView2, there're certain limitations due to how FMX and the underlying platform handle windows and rendering. FMX is designed to be cross-platform, with a focus on vector-based, hardware-accelerated graphics, while traditional controls like WebView2 rely on native Windows-specific window handles (HWND) to be embedded.

to embed WebView2 within a FireMonkey form, we use 'FMXForm.Handle', which provides the necessary window handle (HWND) for WebView2 to render its content. this works because a form in FMX has an associated native window, and we can retrieve its handle.

however, FMX objects like 'TRectangle', 'TPanel', and other 'TFMXObject' descendants don't have an underlying native window (HWND). they're drawn directly onto the GPU and managed by the FireMonkey rendering engine, which makes them platform-agnostic but without any native window handle. since WebView2 requires an actual window handle to render its content, it isn't possible to use a 'TFMXObject' like 'TRectangle' as the parent window for WebView2.

in essence, FireMonkey objects and native components like WebView2 operate in fundamentally different ways. while you can embed WebView2 inside a FireMonkey form by setting the parent window to the form handle, using a 'TFMXObject' as a parent isn't feasible due to the lack of a native window handle in FireMonkey controls.


not only the ones you mentioned, but i also want to add more. however, it isn’t possible due to compatibility limitations.
