Web Control for MWF
I’ve still got a lot of work to do before its ready, but I’ve started work on a new Gecko based web control for both Managed.Windows.Forms (for Mono) and System.Windows.Forms (for MS .NET). I just stuck some of the code in a new directory in the SVN called “mozembed” (see it here).
It’s not compiling out of the box yet and I’m working on backwords compatibility with Mozilla 1.2-1.7 and Firefox 1.0.x. Currently only Firefox 1.5, Seamonkey 1.x, and maybe XULRunner will work (and you have to bootstrap with ‘-DFIREFOX_1_5′)
One really nice part, is just like our version of libgdiplus, I’m planning on leaving the native library completely open for anyone who wants to consume it for whatever they feel like for a simple way of embedding gecko without having to do deal with Mozilla’s massive embedding API.
None of the managed code is in there yet (still changing to much to post it in since its based on older versions that I got to compile in the past week). The configure.in file needs some magic (autoconf, “That’s Hot” (R) )
Lots of work still to do.
