I can't seem to get it to work with CodeBlocks which is really annoying.

In this day and age with Visual Studio being free, while Qt Creator is available on all major platforms and CLion is a commercial option, I simply don't get why anyone would choose Code::Blocks at this point.

That said, getting almost any non-trivial C++ library to work with any compiler is almost always annoying, it's certainly not unique to codeblocks. A build system from the 60s isn't fun...

Sciter. It's an HTML/CSS/JavaScript engine. Simple to integrate and powerful to use. Intended for GUI programming and doesn't try to reproduce the functionality and standard compliance as a web browser.

P.s. typing on phone sucks!

Jesus...I'm just trying to make a web page appear in my application window.

Modern web browsers are not simple programs. They have to parse several languages, set up an object model, render text and images, and often more. If that seems like too much to you then you need to narrow your requirements.
