browser (MSIE) and define starting page etc.Pekr,
I'm sure they have more to offer now.
There is a pretty good solution for free from M$, if
you can afford to use Windows
The steps to get your custom solution n. 2 workingI will look for what it offers, but the last thing I want MS to get my support is to use their WindowsOS. Call me a former Amiga freak, but I kinda like a freedom of choice. Mozilla is the way to go for me, if possible. What is more - IE is NOT cross-platform and in the case we go for Linux we are lost anyway ...
are:
1) Get the IE Administration Kit
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ieak
2) Make sure you sign up for the Intranet mode license
(free) which allows the customizations above and
anything that IE can do.
Check the docs on IEAK Profile Manager, wich allows
you to fix/customize any settings. You might find the
IEAK deployment guide helpful to get this done
3) Now the interesting part: With Rebol/View/Pro youI am not sure. I have yet to read it, but isn't IE using some ActiveX, COM, DCOM etc. stuff? The problem is, that there is no solution available in Rebol, which wraps such complex stuff as technologies I mentioned. There is also btw ActiveX component for Mozilla ....
can drive the IE Component the way you want (Gregg
might now about this as I've seen his Clipboard code).
I am very interested on this part although I am mainlyMaybe we could try to embed mozilla? That way our Rebol apps could feature faces, which would be able to display web content, including plug-ins. Rebol browser anyone? :-) Well, - what is more - Mozilla is cross-platform and pretty feature rich for what is needed. There is no advantage in using IE nowadays, even for browsing ...
a Linux developer so I can only help providing info
and pointers. My interest is in talking to IE via
rebol for View+IE apps and other cool things.
Unfortunately don't have the time/money to learn
VisualC++ but feel capable of hacking via rebol
I don't need visual C++ kit or anything like that - what we need is wrapper, but I am not sure we can handle it, if we have no skilled C, C++ man here. I saw Ruby provides such binding e.g.Unfortunately there is no good mozilla kit for this. Nestcape used to have a similar kit but am not sure where that stands today.
Thanks anyway,

If you need more info on this ping me via IOS
