| Hi, the presentation of a html page is pretty much ugly in a wxHtmlWindow, isn't it? In my web browser (and MaxIDE as well) a page from HotDocs looks like:  In the wxHtmlWindow example the page looks like:  Is this right? Is there another module I can use with wxMax to display html pages? What about wxWebConnect? Could you include it in wxMax, Brucey? :) Thx for the help |

| Well, there's also wxWebView, but I haven't looked into it yet. Apparently it uses IE on Windows and WebKit on OSX/Linux. I had started some basic work with webconnect, but cross-platform support was not good - and that's important for me. |
| ||
| I thought everything of wxWidgets is cross-platform? Ok then, what about bah.gtkwebmozilla? This is a html view, isn't it? Could I use this with wxMax? |
| ||
| webconnect was not written by the wx guys, and was primarily a Windows library. They appeared to looked into adding support for OS X, but I had trouble getting it to work. BaH.GTK* is for Linux. I'm looking at the webview stuff. It uses a factory to generate the wxWebView object, which is going to prevent me subclassing it… ho hum. |
| ||
| wxWebView is rather nice :-) Apart from my being unable to subclass it - and hence, properly attach/detach my hook with it. So, if anyone knows how I can be notified when an object is about to be deleted… :p |
| ||
| webview sample is coming along… On the way, I discovered a lot of issues with wxToolBar. Seems they changed a lot of its functionality at some point which broke my glue. Either that or I don't know what I'm doing :-p Anyhoo, will soon have a nicely functional browser :-) |

| Anyhoo, will soon have a nicely functional browser :-) Do not forget to add traceless browsing :p. Didn't you try something to automate more of the glue generation? Don't know if an improvement there would make manual changes to some bugged code obsolete. bye Ron |

| The WebView is awesome! Thank you very much :) |
| ||
| Didn't you try something to automate more of the glue generation? I have a basic glue/module generator, but it is not ready for real work - you can give it a basic class to process, and it will generate runnable code, but for a big-ass library, it requires more work. Still, it would be nice to drop a big library into it one day and have it generate something I didn't have to tweak :-) |
| ||
| Is there any html "viewer" that doesn't use IE on Windows? I'd love to build a custom browser, but I'll never trust IE to open anything... |
| ||
| Presumably wxWebView uses it because IE is guaranteed to be on the machine. Qt comes with its own WebKit. |
