Hello, I just found this ActiveX: dead link
I was wondering if somebody already knew it or not ? Is it better than IE or not ? I'll do some test for a demo project, but clearly not enough to tell if it's a good solution or not.

Hi Florent,
Yes, I know it. We discussed it at least twice: once for IntraVue which seemed to have some significant problems with the IE ActiveX back then (at least in correlation with some specific JRE versions) and once in the context of developing a native web browser component for PcVue.
Problem is...
a) ... that I never got it to work inside PcVue mimics (but Ludo did additional, probably also unsuccessful tests with it).
b) ... that it is not maintained anymore (according to this source: dead link).
So the current sources are based on a relatively old Gecko version. If you have the time you could try to wrap your favorite rendering engine in an ActiveX by yourself. Webkit ( https://www.webkit.org/), Chromium Embedded ( https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/src/master/) or HTML Renderer (dead link) could be options for that.
Good luck! 🙂

I agree with Armin.
I think it should be good to provide our own ActiveX based on ??(webKit, chromium...) for the new Web Scheduler.
By this we won't have to maintain IE6 compatibility....

That is true I didn't succeed using it on PcVue. It crashes very fast if I did few change mode, from runtime to design.
