Using Firefox Control in AMS7

[Seanshi]

Hello,

Can we use this firefox control in AMS7 like Web Browser Object.

I found this installer for VB:

Thank u

We would have to see, but someone posted a way to embed a control in an input (if I remember well), so there must be a way!

it all depends on if the control alows you to set its container hWnd, iv only found a few that allow that, ill have a look at tho

Is there an update to this thread? I'd sure love to use something other than IE for the browser.

You could bundle a Firefox Portable with your app, and embed it into your App.

BTW, there is a thread about this already:

Mozilla ActiveX Control

Hello,

Can we use this firefox control in AMS7 like Web Browser Object?

Hi! Yes, and is very easy:

1) Download and install the last version of Mozilla Control.

http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/reactos/MozillaControl1712-ReactOS.exe

2) Download and unpack this patch:

http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/iepatcher.zip

3) Use the iepatcher.exe to apply the patch in your "autoplay.exe" or directly in your "win32rt.dat" of your AMS installation (to apply this in all your new ams projects).

PS1: the Mozilla control installation will be always required.
PS2: Suggestion: create a "mozilla control detection" for AMS.
PS3: I think possible to merge a AMS application with the Mozilla control with thinstall. With it, the mozilla control installation will be not required.
PS4: sorry, I don't know English.

It dont work!

I did every step, then in AMS I created a web object, default url (indigorose.com) and it came up asking if I wanted to set a cookie, looked and it is STILL Internet Explorer, not firefox

Strange, works fine with me... Look the attached image.



More details:

1) Build your project with the option "HARD DRIVE". Will not work with "Web/Email executable".

2) Use the iepatcher.exe downloaded from my previous post to apply the patch in your "autoplay.exe". A new file "moz_autorun.exe" will be created: Replace the original .exe with this new one.

3) Make sure: the mozilla control is really installed in your computer (or the web object will be replaced by a blank space).
