I am kind of puzzled about this, my guess is that I miss some important detail of the whole matter.
Let me explain what I am thinking about: What I want to do is to be able to open SciTE as an embedded application inside a browser (Opera, Firefox, IE doesn't matter). I do not want to alter the functionality of the editor at all, menus, toolbars, windows all the same. That simply means that instead of the native OS window-manager which handles the window on which SciTE is drawn, the browser will do this job (provide a drawable area). It will display the whole application inside a browser window instead opening one on the screen. This should be fairly easy, just replace all the calls from SciTE to the native window-manager with calls from SciTE to the browser (i.e wrap the whole application in the form of a plug-in!). But that's the part that I don't know how to do it, and I was asking some pointers to that. There is something similar done in the X-Windows System were applications don't need the window-manager to be functional, they start OK and display themselves on the screen but with no window decoration. --- Alphax <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Stilianos Kesisoglou wrote: > > OK, so my main question is answered, I send my > message > > correctly. > > > > > >>My opinion is that encapsulating SciTE in a plugin > > > > is a bad idea. > > > > Why is that?
