   HTML browser without MFC
  Is there any relatively simplway of programming an internet browser without using MFC.  The main reason that I do not want to use the MFC CHTMLVIEW since it actually uses Internet explorer.   So I guess my question is: are there any functions or libraries to read html files without IE or netscape, even though i dont dislike netscape as much as i do IE...   _________________________________________"Why, why why does everyone ask ''''why'''' when ''''how'''' is so much more fun"-Spawn 1997 
  you want something pre-written?look into what COM objects your favourite browser registers and learn how to use them. Your favourite browser will probably have info on its website. You can use them from C, C++, Visual Basic, Python, etc.Or there are other libraries you can use with varying languages. Have you tried wxWindows or wxPython?

I dont like explorer mostly cuz i dont like microsoft, bu thats beside the point.  And yes I am making things harder on myself... its the only way to learn  _________________________________________"Why, why why does everyone ask ''''why'''' when ''''how'''' is so much more fun"-Spawn 1997 ;  I''d feel better about IE if it didn''t have such a bad trackrecord.Yeah, its built-in, and yeah the OS uses it, but I get the heebie-jeebies from it based on security. I have to do basic formatting anyway, I might write a Spirit grammar to parse HTML. I still haven''t fully decided. ;  You could use gecko, mozilla''s engine. Although I''ve heard it''s horrible to integrate into your app.   --------"Hey, what about those baggy pants you kids are wearin'' these days?
