Hello,

I'd like to use mozilla GUI components for a _standalone_ Audio Editor application (same standalone as Komodo, not using mozilla, but libraries only).

Where do I start?

A code base is totally mysterious for me. How can I create a complete application with the mozilla widgets?

What components do I need to register to be able to create windows, buttons, etc?

P.S.: Sorry for a stupid question, I'm not a mozilla expert. Guys told me to go with wxWindows, but js scriptability, XUL model, skinning, etc is very attractive here.

Thanks,
George.


You have several options:

(1) Try to use the GRE (download the gecko-sdk and build your application around it).

(2) study how Firefox is built. Firefox specific code lives under mozilla/browser. Use it as a starting point for your own application.

Option 2 might be easier since you can just hack-n-slash the Firefox codebase, starting from something that you know works. Option 2 has the disadvantage of being a Firefox fork, making it harder for you to migrate your codebase to a newer Mozilla release. For option 1 see documentation here:
