Dear People,

How can I host mshtml (mshtml.dll) or the WebBrowser (shdocvw.dll) active documents using just Win32 and native C++ (no MFC, ATL, or dotnet)?

Thank You.

that's a LOT of work if you don't use a framework - I understand why you don't want to use MFC, but why not ATL/WTL?

Lucian Wischik's WebForm is a nice working start: Host mshtml active document in win32 without mfc[^]

MSDN provides this guide on the WebBrowser customization: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/aa770041(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

And of course, you may need the MSDN WebBrowser interface guide: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752042(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

Much of the MSDN information is relative to MFC or ATL, so you have to use their information more like psuedocode. Also, an understanding of COM and active documents will be helpful in the long run.
