We just went through this same process. We converted a Delphi app using the Adobe and Flash OCX's to Lazarus. To make it cross-platform, we borrowed the functionality used in the Mozilla/Gecko browsers. Browser plugins!
I created a component called the Mozilla Plugin Panel. It allows you to (theoretically) embed any browser plugin into this component on a form. The Panel fools the browser plugins to think they are running inside a browser. Luckily for you, I open-sourced the project a few weeks back in the hopes that someone might help with the Linux support. ;-) It works 100% under Windows and I tested it with the Adobe Acrobat and Macromedia Flash plugins. I am still working on the Linux support (getting there) and better demos, so if you need help getting started, just ask. You can get the source from my SubVersion server as follows. svn co svn://opensoft.homeip.net/MozillaPluginPanel/trunk MozillaPluginPanel Regards, - Graeme - On 19/04/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm porting an old Delphi application to Lazarus.
