I can’t figure out why GNOME hasn’t switched yet, but I know its going to be a bit of trouble for Mozilla with the make scripts, lxr, and anonymous mirrors.

This seems to be a problem, but not the main reason. It's an INVALID bug but nothing happens if you put there a vote.

Wow, Delphi developer here that was looking for Gecko embedding in Delphi. Found an ActiveX control and then stumbled across your page.

I would love to try and use this control in Delphi .NET or C#.

Was actually looking at the mCatalog program which uses GeckoSharp to render a screen that looks like the Delicious Library app on the Mac.

I hope your control will support as many features as the GeckoSharp since I am building an application like mCatalog.

I'd would vote for print/preview, access to selected text, proxy config settings.

Does your API support the search of text where it will highlight and scroll to the text found? This is a feature that could be quite useful in apps using it as an embeded control for document management and display.

I believe this is a much needed control/API since I have not seen any easy way to embed the mozilla WebControl in .NET based apps. If someone else knows of current options to explore, please let us know.

No timeline as of yet. I don't really even have a planned roadmap at this point. I really just know what has to be done and I'm doing it :-P When I get an alpha going, I should have an idea, but at this point I can't say.

I think the clipboard integration and the javascript access will be possible. DOM integration is going to be massive hurdle.

now i don't know what to do. i was always thinking that when i will have choice - use SWF or other GUI i will choose gtk#. Mostly because of gecko# working on it [i don't like IE]. now i'm not so sure what will i choose.

and my opinion what to implement:
- access to clipboard ans selected text [...]
- access to js
- dom integration

i can live without others - i'm not planning to make next webbrowser with settings and things like that - i need control that will display html and be able to make some operations on it.

Hi, do you have any rough estimate on your expected delivery date for this WebControl?

Thanks
