How to create a simple browser in C++

Hello!

I have a problem. I'm fairly new to C++ so I don't know how to use active x control or a dll.

If I'm not mistaken the control for WEbBrowser is shdocvw.dll. Am I right? How can I use it?

Why don't you use the MFC. The HTMLView class is enought for your need.

Just using App Wizard in VC++ 6.0 . All things ready.

But the problem is that I can't install my Visual C++ 6.0. There's a problem with my CD-Writer, it won't read ordinary CD-ROMs.

What I'm currently using now is Borland C++ Free Compiler 5.5.

I heard it is possible to do such things in pure API calls. Ahh, I just wished I can get access to such codes.

All I need is to display an HTML file in my application. Is there any other way? :confused:

Well if your not using mfc its not gonna be simple. Can you program in windows in pure code ?

of course! thats the real way, VC++ just gives you a nice interface and does some stuff for you. most say MFC is evil.


Windows programming with pure API isn't too bad. I love it :cool:

But programming ActiveX in pure API is HELL ON EARTH!
