Hi,

I am trying to embed a rudimentary browser into my C++ app on Linux and Windows (MinGW) using wxWidgets.

This page looks like where I need to be however it contains virtually no information about how to embed. Most of the content on the page is how to compile XULRunner or use the SDK.

I downloaded the code samples from Mercurial but there are many folders/files and the code does not include a lot of high level comments. Very difficult for a newbie.

IMHO the key questions that should be addressed on this page:

  • How do I insert a browser window in my app?
  • How do I load a web page?
  • How do I load content from memory?
  • How do I implement basic navigation?
  • What libraries from xulrunner do I need to link to my app?

I don't mind contributing that content once I figure it out but if somebody beats me to it, even better!

Hi jc,

I think you did not carefully take a look at the instruction about the Embeded New API. There is clear manual and test sample project on the main page of New API. 

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Embedding/NewApi

But it did not have example for wxWidget. Here I give you a simple example (learned from the QT sample project) to help you getting started with the MozView (embeded API)

thanks -Jiez
