Mozilla ActiveX Control -- Browser not in a valid state - wine-devel

10 Jan 2006


      Hi,
I have a Borland C++ Builder app that is a simple FORM with a TCppWebBrowser
and a button.  I have two callbacks, one when the form is created, and one
when the user pushes the button.  Both callbacks just navigate to google.
================================
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
   : TForm(Owner)
{
    CppWebBrowser1->Navigate(WideString("http://www.google.com"));
}
void __fastcall TForm1::DoIt1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
   CppWebBrowser1->Navigate(WideString("http://www.google.com"));
}
================================
On Windows this works as expected.  When the form is displayed, google is
displayed in the browser.  Whenever you push the button the browser is
reloaded.
On Wine with the Mozilla ActiveX Control v1.7.12, when the form is first
loaded nothing is displayed.  WINEDEBUG=+ole shows "Browser is not in a valid
state".
Pushing the button subsequent times reloads the web site as expected.
Before I start digging deeper, I was hoping somebody might have some insight
to lead me down the correct path.
Thanks!
Phil
