TWebBrowser???

Hi friends,

1. I have a very simple browser application developed with Delphi 7's
TWebBrowser.

My application has a MainMenu with the following items:
"&File"
"&Exit" etc....

If I browse for example to "google' in the TWebBrowser and I want to
conduct a search in
google by typing my keywords in the search box and I press the letter
"F" the MainMenu's
"&File" item gets envoked. The TWebBrowser does not seem to take
predominance over the other controls when it's active.
Or that's my thinking....

This is frustrating the living hell out of me as it seems that there are
no other alternative components to
the TWebBrowser.
Each and everything little thing needs to be "hacked" into TWebBrowser
to
get it working normal or as expected. (Hope I am not the only one
complaining).

2. If anyone do know of a TWebBrowser alternative component for Delphi 7
that supports all
web types etc, please let me know. I am willing to PAY for qaulity.
I had a look at THTMLLite Free but for my application I need a full-on
browser component.
Nearly / Similar to WebBrowsers functionality and compatibility
regarding to doc-types etc...
But it needs to work and integrate well with Delphi's components.

Can anyone please, please, please help!


Thanks in advance!

Try the Mozilla Control. syntactically identical to TWebbrowser but is
the Mozilla browser.

Hi Fotis,

Thanks for the link.
I am however unable to download this file.
It's a huge process to register and I am not sure
whether it's free or what.

Is there an alternative download link to bypass yahoo groups?


Thanks in advance!

Thanks.

Is Embedded_Wb dependant on IE or anything else?

Can you assist with the installation as well, please?
The Embedded_WB is giving me the following compiler error when
running one of the demos:
"File not found: 'Shdocvw_tlb.dcu'"

Thanks!

YES. It uses the IE core and render engine.

I think the "rightest" person is Eran Bodankin who took it
from an almost halted state (v7, used only with D7) and drove
it to the current state.

Personally I can't provide any help because I don't use it. I
have inported the IE activeXs (MS Internet Controls and HTML
library) and going with them. But I think that Embedded_WB
also uses them. This 'Shdocvw_tlb.dcu' is one of the side
products of the activeX inclusion.

Sorry, I don't use it. I do see where Fotis provided you with a
reference where you might get some appropriate help.

Good luck!

In article <44169355$2...@newsgroups.borland.com>,
thegen...@webmail.co.za says...

Since you already have ShDocVw installed, you can either
change the reference in the uses to ShDocVw or you can import
the "Microsoft Internet Controls" via Project->Import Type Library
main menu in Delphi.

Note that, if you import the typelib, you need to rename the TWebBrowser
class in the import to something else. I use TImportedWebBrowser. You
can change it in the Class names area of the import dialog.

Looks like you'll also have to import the MSHTML type Library, too,
select "Microsoft HTML Object Library" in the list.

I was basically talking about these 2 libraries. Sorry for messing up
their names.

In my case, I uninstalled the built in TWebBrowser of Delphi and
used the same name for the imported version. I also used
EventSinkImp to create more event interfaces. My MSHTML_TLB.pas
is 11.7MB (~350K lines !!!). I am on D7-IE6
