Subject: Re: fxruby (nonexistent) html widget

Hello Hal,

HF> Fox apparently doesn't have an HTML widget.

HF> What might be my options for displaying a small piece of
HF> simple HTML in Fox?

HF> I'm considering these possibilities:

HF>    - embed another app in a Fox frame somehow?
HF>    - embed a different toolkit main window in a
HF>      Fox frame (ugly code and perhaps impossible)

Did you look at SWT Fox, Ivan Markov implemented an embedded
Gecko/MSExplorer widget as a FOX widget ?

HF>    - write a simplistic html renderer

I did this for the class browser in ArachnoRuby 0.6.
It's a lot of work to implement it, even if the line count
is only around 5000 lines.
