Has anyone ever made a web browser using a click product, more specificallt TGF? I am interested in doing this, if it is possible, which I'm sure it is.
Using ActiveX isn't really making a browser, it's just using internet explorer embedded into the program

just thought i'd add; to get an activex into your program just click "new object" in the level editor, and select activex. then select "Microsoft Web Browser" from the list.
TGF doesnt have an ActiveX object, you'll need to upgrade to MMF (you can get a great discount from MMF, see the Clickteam website).
The ActiveX way is obviously the easiest since it handles almost everything for you. You could try and make your own interpreter, but that takes forever (trust me, I had to make a HTML intepreter using Java for first year Software).

I do not want to make my own interpreter, it has to get the HTML, analise it, produce the page on screen etc. and if the browser was to be any good I'd have to make a Javascript interpreter as well.
I'll just upgrade to MMF

Active X is about using .ocx files in your program. Internet Explorer comes with an .ocx file and you can use it in your applications. IE is just one type of active x and there are many more. If you are lucky you can download them for free off some places on the net.
