Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is it to port some existing code from IE to the Mozilla control?

Frequently Asked Questions
The stated aim of the Mozilla control is to be as compatible with the IE control as possible but certain advanced features may be difficult to implement using the Gecko rendering engine. In particular this means DOM manipulation, particularly using the large number of IE interfaces introduced with IE 5 & 6. Therefore it depends on the complexity of your application.

How do I port some C++ to use the Mozilla control?

Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on the classes you are using. In general it requires replacing references to the Internet Explorer CLSID with the Mozilla one. MFC & ATL provide classes for using the IE control, you may have to make duplicate these classes, making your implementation reference the Mozilla CLSID.

What is the Mozilla control?

Frequently Asked Questions
The Mozilla control is an ActiveX control that encapsulates the Gecko layout engine, allowing it to be used in any ActiveX container. Developers can use any ActiveX development tool such as VB, Visual C++, Delphi and even Internet Explorer to embed the Mozilla ActiveX control into a form. The Mozilla control also uses the existing Internet Explorer interfaces meaning that it can be a drop in replacement for the Internet Explorer control in many cases.

Related Questions

Who wrote the Mozilla control?

Frequently Asked Questions
The control was written by Adam Lock with contributions / feedback from Alexandre Trémon, Neoplanet, Custom Browser and numerous developers and testers. The control makes indispensable use of the superb Gecko rendering engine, and credit for the speed and standards compliance that the control has is entirely due to the authors of this and other parts of Mozilla.
Related Questions

Will the control be released with Mozilla?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the control has been a regular feature of Mozilla releases for the last few years. If you intend to use the control from Mozilla, use the zipped up version of Mozilla, not the executable installer. The installer, puts the gecko runtimes in a separate location from the chrome and other files that the control needs so it does not function properly.
Related Questions

What can't I do with the Mozilla control?

Frequently Asked Questions
The Mozilla control uses the Gecko rendering engine which is dedicated to open standards. That means the control will not display any content that contains proprietary Internet Explorer markup such as VBScript, or certain extensions to DHTML or CSS.
Related Questions

Can I build the Mozilla control without building all the other Mozilla stuff?

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The control is a wrapper layer sitting on top of the Mozilla rendering engine and won't compile unless the stuff it depends on has also been built.
Related Questions

Can I use the control in Mozilla Firefox?

Frequently Asked Questions
Some builds of Firefox may contain the control, but Firefox statically links most of the GRE runtime into firefox.exe. The control won't work without the runtime. From Mozilla 1.5 onwards the control is installed in the GRE directory but see the last question which explains why the control does not work from the Mozilla installer executable.

Related Questions

How can the Mozilla control be binary compatible with the IE control?

Frequently Asked Questions
ActiveX (or rather COM) is a binary standard for defining the APIs that a control exposes. It allows controls and other types of object to be interchangeable as long as they implement the same APIs and function in the same way through those APIs. The Mozilla control attempts to do exactly this, emulating Internet Explorer control as closely as possible so that host applications cannot tell them apart.

Can I port existing Z80 or Z180 assembly code to the Rabbit?

answers.htm
Yes. Some Z80 and Z180 instructions have been eliminated, but they are mainly obscure instructions or instructions that can easily be emulated by a short sequence of instructions. The instructions that deal with I/O devices are quite different, but usually I/O code cannot be ported from one system to another in any case, so nothing is lost.
Related Questions

Why does the Mozilla installer break the control?

Frequently Asked Questions
The installer now splits Mozilla into two directories - a GRE directory under "Program files\Common files\Mozilla.org\GRE" contains the Gecko runtime engine and the actual Mozilla directory (specified by the user during installation) contains the chrome and application DLLs. The mozctlx.dll is installed in the GRE directory but cannot locate the chrome it needs (which is in the Mozilla part). Therefore it breaks.

Why isn't the Mozilla ActiveX control marked safe for scripting?

Because it isn't safe for scripting. It would be easy enough to programatically crash the control, or exploit some implementation detail so I can't mark it as safe. Sorry.

How do I port my existing telephone number?

Digis - Phone Frequently Asked Questions
Traditionally, a phone conversation is converted into electronic signals that traverse an elaborate network of switches, in a dedicated circuit that lasts the duration of a call. In Voice over Internet Protocol, a conversation is converted to packets of data that travel over the Internet or private networks, just like e-mails or Web pages, though voice packets get priority status. The packets get reassembled and converted to sound on the other end of the call.
