Piero Proietti wrote a nice demo app in VB6 which embeds a browser window. It doesn't work in Wine. I think Jacek has been committing patches that ought to help this ( e.g. http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2006-July/024993.html ) but it's not quite there yet. Piero's willing to tailor the test app to our needs. Should I ask him to strip it down to be noniteractive, i.e. to just load a single static HTML page from disk, to make looking at the logs easier? Or is it better for him to post a minibrowser with nav buttons etc? - Dan

Also, a very simple test case for this is our very own HTML Help viewer, hh and hhctrl.ocx.

Yes, it should help.

I'm interested in any test of WebBrowser stuff, esp not working:-) More functionality is fine for me. It usually doesn't make logs harder to read. Buttons usually don't affect anything until they're used.
Thanks, Jacek
