Need compact html rendering component for an mfc app
-
Howdy, I am writing a client side MFC application. I would like to be able to display a scrolling window that renders simple html. The main tags I need are ,
, and maybe . I don't want to use the MS Internet explorer control. That's like using a locomotive to push a shopping cart. My client doesn't want the dependancies and security issues that come with IE. I don't blame him a bit. I know I have seen light weight html rendering controls for simple html text rendering, but I can't remember where I saw them. Anyone have any suggestions? TIA Jim H

Since IE is already available on the machine, why not use it? While other renderers probably exist, can you guarantee that they have been thoroughly tested and are fully HTML compliant? Have you considerd
CHtmlView? It's based on the IE server, but it plugs into an application almost seamlessly.

I've deployed commerical apps that use CHtmlView. It can work, but it's a hellish nightmare to test all the possible permutations and combinations of operating systems and versions of IE. My client also has legitimate security concerns about using IE. If you need the full power of IE then using the MS browser object is fine. I don't need anything like the power of IE. I just need to be able to nicely render some text. IE is massive overkill for this task.

Well it's not exactly an HTML rendering engine, but the following control has support for a bunch of tags. I haven't looked at the source that I can remember, but you may be able to rip out it's core and use it for your own purposes. http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/pptooltip.asp[^] Chris Richardson
