QT4: embedding Mozilla Gecko

Message 1 in thread

Hi

Has anyone succeeded in embedding Gecko [mozilla's browser rendering engine 
- see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/ ] within a Qt4 app? The 
mozilla embedding site has examples for gtk and mfc but not for Qt.

A simple example source would be welcome.

Thanks, Colin

I guess in the MFC example you could just replace all calls to CWnd::m_hwnd 
with QWidget::winId. You might have to set the Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen 
attribute, and reimplement paintEngine to return the 0-pointer in order to 
turn off Qt's rendering pipeline for your specific widget.

Or play around with WebKit:

Is there a good place to discuss WebKit? I've seen a couple comments on
Trolltech Lab's forum, but nobody seems to reply. I can't get it to really
even start building on my x86 Linux machine with Qt 4.1.4, the output is:
