neodammer Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Granted AxBrowser is the easiest thing to use for web browsing etc.. A friend of mine and I want to create a browser totally without using any IE controls. I thought about this and its harder than I thought. Anybody ever done this? :p Quote Enzin Research and Development
Arch4ngel Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Try to take a look at Mozilla. http://www.mozilla.org/download-mozilla.html By downloading the source code (which are in C++) might give you some help.

neodammer Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Question might be alittle off topic but since you said C++ for mozilla: Is C# just an upgrade of C++ like vb.net is an upgrade of vb 6.0? Quote Enzin Research and Development
Arch4ngel Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 No. C# is a totally new OO language. However... it's based on C++, Java and Delphi so.... you might see many thing similar between them. If you want to translate unmanaged C++ to C#... well... you'll have to work a little bit more :p Translating from Unmanaged C++ to Managed C++ shall be more easier but... I'm no expert in C++ and I never did any translation for this.

neodammer Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Well I ask because a course im about to take at the University says "Programing in C++" so I assume then its not C# but MS's older C++ version. Which I dont know really what the latest version of that was. Quote Enzin Research and Development
Arch4ngel Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Well... MS didn't make C++. They only make an IDE for it and mayble a couple of library (didn't ever try Visual C++). If you learn to make program in C++ ... well... you'll be able to make your own browser but with C++. Maybe you'll even be able to convert it to Managed C++. :) Have a good time Quote "If someone say : "Die mortal !"... don't stay to see if he isn't." - Unknown "Learning to program is like going out with a new girl friend.

neodammer Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 I have done alittle of Visual C++, but it was always DOS applications. I never could figure out how to make window forms. Is it easier than it looks? lol Whats the difference between managed and non-managed? Quote Enzin Research and Development
