Hi everyone!

I've asked myself if one can embed the google chrome browser engine in an own application. I'm using Delphi 2009. There's an IE ActiveX wrapper component delivered with the IDE. Also, there's a Firefox ActiveX component out there, but it's based on very old code.

I'd like to embed the chrome engine. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

David

Google Chrome is basically WebKit layout engine + nice UI. And WebKit can be embedded.

There's also chromium embedded framework (CEF).

And finally, check out Awesomium.

CEF looks promising, as it would give you Chrome's out standing V8 JavaScript engine as well as WebKit rendering, but it looks like there isn't ActiveX support yet.

Recently Google released the Chrome Frame active X for MS IE see if that helps
