I agree, let's take a step back. What I would like the developer to see is the following: 1. A single ActiveX control that they can host in their application to support embedded browser windows. 2. Each embedded browser window as a separate process so that, if one crashes, it doesn't take down the container application. 3. Support by default for existing chrome functionality including navigation history, context menus, printing, downloading files, etc. Default support for tabs would be nice, if feasible, but it's not a requirement. 4. A set of interfaces that the container application can implement to override or disable the default functionality. What I would like the user to see is the following: 1. A browser window that is themed to match the container application, meaning custom drawing of scroll bars, etc, if desired. 2. All of the functionality that they have when they run chrome as it currently exists, minus a few things like favorites that aren't really applicable, and minus anything that the container application explicitly disables. So, what's the best way to do all that? :-) > > > --Amanda Regards, Marshall --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-dev" group.
