Thanks very much for the advice Benjamin, I have learnt quite a bit from mfcembed but I was beginning to feel like I was barking up the wrong tree for my needs.

I would like to create a stand-alone chrome based application that has an html editor and an svg editor.
How is this different/parallel to mozilla composer and NVU?
In terms of the html editor, I was, in fact expecting to copy, copy copy, but I see my editor as a little more streamlined to the specifics of my application domain, I find the stand-alone composer both blotted and feature thin at the same time. The svg editor will actually be a separate component creating specific graphics for this application domain, it will not be a free-form "paint" program.
what is WTL? I would suggest following the mozilla cross-platform programming model, and plain-old-C++. Staying within the mozilla makefile system would probably help you also.
WTL (Windows Template Library) is a template-driven application and windowing system for Windows applications published by Microsoft. Basically it extends the basic windowing support of ATL, but it has no dependancies on COM. It using a simliar macro based message cracker system that MFC uses. It's really quite a good system, easy to understand and not near as much of a ball of wax as MFC, plus it doesn't link to any funky mfc runtime dlls or any of that.
I still have not been able to integrate VC7 with a cygwin makefile system and would really like to get some results on this project, that is why I would rather start work on the actual program then with
trying to figure out things that seem intangible at this point.
