Hello World.
I'm curious, what is the smallest size you guys have gotten the gecko browser fitted into? I'm working on a project right now where I need(and I believe many others will need aswell) a programmatically controlled browser DLL for my windows software and I'm going to create a very very small Gecko browser without using activex's or external executables if I possibly can, and I'd like to challenge you guys also to this, so that we as C+ + programmers can support Mozilla & FireFox to get a nice smart fast browser to our use when we function in environments where do not have either the resources or the full capabilities to launch the real Mozilla Firefox or the users default browser. If we get a good DLL built, the technology & people of the mozilla organisation and the gecko engine will get some nice promotion(maybe include an obligatory mozilla and or firefox text/logo within the browser surface?) and gain a bit more foothold in the even still raging browser warz. These browser derivatives i've been studying so far all include lots of buttons like back & home & url bars and stuff like that which are completely useless to me & to others wanting to control the flow of the browser through the game/utility app in question. Requirements: Must be able to open one URL address - possibly download its contents to its calling directory - render the html/css page properly - enable functions like reacting to clicks on link elements rendered - possibly loading mozilla flash plugin(most widely used plugin to render interactive critical content on the web) Must be able to render its HTML/CSS ontop of a Microsoft Windows Window Device Context or HWND in Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 Must be able to follow clicked links within the Window without spawning external windows, or utilizing tabbed browsing because these create extra code and slow things down. Must include some form of reckognition to the mozilla / firefox / gecko team, maybe the powered by -logo stuff, or something else, idk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PS. Webkit is a tough contender, but I hate Quicktime etc crapula stuff which is required implementing it. The whole idea gives me the shivers so I'm gonna work on accomplishing this project rather than touch that crap. _______________________________________________ dev-embedding mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-embedding
