How would you do this....

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had an idea how you''d put a web browser in your program. I want it so in my I.M./Email system will also have a built-in feature to make your own webpages. But I want it to display the page in the program. Is this possible? Can you get into trouble for charging so much a month for a product with a web browser in it? These are the questions I''ve been questioning for sometime. Any idea''s and I''m open,
Thanks in advance,

Yes, your IDE, if it is Rapid Application Development oriented, should have tools that will allow you to snap stuff like that into your application. Visual Studio I know does this, you could pretty much make a web browser without having to type that many lines for it. And you can set the address for local files as well,so if you have a preview function, you can just set the default address as the page they are working on, or something like that. I hope this information helps.

I thought about that but won''t u get sued by microsoft for using thier brower and putting in your software and then making money off of the program?

Another problem. I noticed when ever I add an activeX control to my Dialog boxes they suddlenly return NULL. I have no idea why this happens but it does.

No.
Search for a post awhile back about this.
I ended up using Spirit to write an HTML parser and then I can use that to convert it into a RichEdit control. I just needed very basic text mark up, not page "layout" in HTML.
I am inherently wary about embedding IE into an application. There doesn't seem to be a way to sandbox the control by disabling all active scripting and whatnot. Far too many viruses have spread through Outlook's short-sighted and unnecessary use of an IE control to render the message window, and I don't want my app becoming another way a virus can spread.
Ultimately, since I'm receiving data from the network, I don't trust the other side at all. Thus, I shy away from the IE control even if its more work for me.

Hey, thanks for all the replies they''ve helped
me out a lot. I have just one more question.
Why whenever I add an activeX contorl to my dialogbox it returns NULL and doesn''t show up? These''s got to be somthing I''m doing wrong. But I can''t put my fingure on it. It can''t be the code,
because it works fine till I add a activeX control to my dialogbox. Then After I compiler it and run it it says sorry dialogbox returned NULL. Anyone know why?
Thanks,
