Mix Web and Controls integration in standard Windows

[Eros Olmi]

I was thinking about a way to add to standard Windows a piece of interface taken from html files and interact with them.
I mean, a standard window with a form taken from an html (local files) that has fields, buttons, ... other web controls. But at the same time been able to get info about data entered, button pressed, ...

Any idea?

Thanks

I have an example somewhere that does it, but I haven't translated it yet to the new COM support. Give me some time, it's a bit complex.

No hurry José.

I was thinking about a way to improve User Interface experience without the need to develop new controls. Writing it using web technology seems to me more logical than writing thousands of lines just for few controls. Instead, having the power of web technology is just there.

I was also reading about XAML and XUL even if they are something different from what I would like to get.

The example is ready: http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smfforum/index.php?topic=2709.0

The attachment includes the source code and the executable (for those that still don't have the compiler).

I did it a long time ago, but at that time it was too complex because I had to include all the code to build the classes and the event connections, and also many wrapper functions. Now, the code is much shorter and cleaner (we only need to add to the event classes the events we need to use), and the new include files provide all the interface declarations we need.

If you want to compile it by yourself, don't forget to download first the new version of the headers (1.01): http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smfforum/index.php?topic=2708.0
