Web Browser Demo

This is a simple Web Browser that is actually built around the ActiveX control for Microsoft's Internet Explorer. This demonstrates how to use existing ActiveX and COM controls within zApp. ActiveX events are fully supported, displaying browser status text in this example. This allows you to leverage existing code and components that you might already own and still use zApp for creating customizeable applications.

Here is the zApp XML source code for this application:

Code:
