Dear List
on the now closed newsgroup netscape.public.mozilla.embedding the post
"Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.8 and beyond" (Fri, Dec 16 2005 11:46 am) is
still unanswered

I essentially have the same question.
Background: We want to embed a Gecko instance in our C++Builder
application. We successed to implement the ActiveX Control based on
Gecko 1.7.12 which emulates the Internet Explorer interfaces. But we are
quite excited about the native SVG support and dynamic XUL-Overloading
in Gecko 1.8. So I'm looking into this issue.
It is obvious that Mozilla is in a transition towards XULRunner. But the
Roadmap http://wiki.mozilla.org/XULRunner:Roadmap is a bit vague about
"embedding" ("June 2006" and "Q1 2007" are quite far apart) also the
ActiveX bug is not very active right now
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299987
I know this is an open source project and we really appreciate your
efforts but is there any more activity or timeframe information about this?
Our second thought: We could switch from the
Internet-Explorer-Disguise-ActiveX to a real Gecko ActiveX. Is it
possible to use the Seamonkey codebase (it is based on Gecko 1.8 right?)
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/embedding/browser/activex/src/
to create an standalone ActiveX-Control?
Is there any expertise with this, or further information?
Did the embedding changed in Seamonkey or can use all the information
about Gecko 1.7 embedding?
mit wienerischen Grüßen
Philipp
