Hello,
Does anyone know a com object which would allow using Firefox within a
winform .net application, such as the IE webcontrol ?

Thanks

Hi peter,
Actually I know this ActiveX already. The problem is that each time
there is a postback on the page, a messagebox appear and prompt the
user if she wants to carries on. There is a checkbox that says 'don't
show this message again', however next time the user starts my .net
application, the message will appear again.
Do you know how to stop this messagebox from appearing ?

Thank you

Sorry, I cannot help with this. I haven't used this control myself.

Hello graphicsxp,

I would suggest avoiding the mozilla activeX control.  Many people do not
have Firefox/Mozilla installed.. and do not wish for it to be installed.
On the other hand, everyone have IE installed.  Using the builtin IE control
will reduce the size of your application, reduce bugs/tech support calls,
and be just as good and possibly better in terms of rendering and usability
than the Mozilla solution.

Ghost,
Unfortunately its IE6 that would more then likely be installed.

IE6 has very poor support for CSS and is missing a handful of other HTML
tags, as compared to Mozilla & IE7.

If the target site/sites that graphicsxp is target require "full" CSS
support then the IE6 control may not be sufficient...

I'm reading this from Firefox and almost everyone I know uses Firefox.
Times change, there was a time when Netscape was the premier browser.
