There seems to be a general consensus that the ActiveX component no longer works correctly with the latest versions of Mozilla. My experience has been as following:
Works fine for me.
When I just register the mozctlx.dll and try to use the component (either in VS6 or the IE example at http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozctltest1.htm) the calling process decides to take 100% process time and never finishes). Also the VS component icon doesn't appear correctly implying that VB can't find all the necessary files.
From Moz v1.4 onwards you need to install some extra GRE files (just chrome I think) that you can download from Adam Lock's website: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm. The Moz Control shows the default component icon in Delphi, it doesn't have a custom one.
When I also register mozctl.dll any attempt to use the component causes the process to crash immediately.
You should not register this dll, read the instructions on Adam Lock's website.
Anyway, my question is: Up and till which build did the Active X component still work?
I've used the control in Delphi from Moz v1.3 and v1.4. You should only use the control from Moz v1.5 for testing purposes since it has not finished the beta/release candidate stage. If you are learning how to use the control choose a stable release.
Also, is there any way that I can have both a compatible version available on my PC while I am still running a current version of Mozilla? (I'm currently running 1.4 but will quite possible move to 1.5)
Yes, you can run more than one version of Mozilla on your PC, just ensure you install them to different directories.
Hope this helps, Dave.
