ummm, as the webbrowser is just an IE activex control wrapped in some commands would it be / is it possible to allow custom activeX controls to be used in Blitz+, i.e. controls written in VB/C++ That's about the only thing missing from Blitz+ as far as I can see, and would open blitz+ up to 'real' application development. :) cya, Beeps

Mark most probaly wont answer this........but I'm sure some of the "usual crowd not in the know" will have a go. This seems to be the pattern, thats why I dont ask.

Can the webbrowser control host active-x components itself?

Maybe this should go in the feature requests.

Webbrowser control CAN host active-x controls, but not very easily or safely. If someone is willing to sign your control and set the security setting down on Internet Explorer to even let this happen, you could get it working.
