Web Browser Control in C App

[brentsimmons]

I've got a large MDI app written in C, not C++, and I need to host the web browser control.

For various reasons, converting it to C++ and using MFC is out of the question.

However, the app can, and does, load and call methods in DLLs that are written in C++.

In a DLL I can get an hwnd to the window in which I want to display HTML (via FindWindow) -- but actually getting HTML to display in that window, that's where I'm stumped.

(One stumbling block: the web browser control's Create method wants a CWnd, but of course the window is created by my C app, thus there is no CWnd to supply.)

I've looked at every resource I could find about hosting the web browser control, and I haven't seen anything that applies to my seemingly unique situation.

I realize this is a fairly open-ended question, but: does anybody have any ideas? Have you seen any sample code that might do the trick?

Thanks!

if you can only use c-style functions or calls in your application,
why don't you write a .dll that encapsulates the MFC classes needed
to show HTML documents?
You can then access (or call) this HTML view with a c-style function
like:
ShowHTMLDocument ( HWND hWnd, char* cDocumentName )

or anything like that.
