Who wrote the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe 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 QuestionsWhat is the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe 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 QuestionsHow can I contribute to Mozilla or to the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsRaising awareness of Mozilla especially with decision makers who might otherwise lock themselves into a proprietary closed-source solution.
Related QuestionsWill the control be released with Mozilla?
Frequently Asked QuestionsYes, 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 QuestionsWhat can't I do with the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe 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 QuestionsCan I build the Mozilla control without building all the other Mozilla stuff?
Frequently Asked QuestionsNo. 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 QuestionsCan I use the control in Mozilla Firefox?
Frequently Asked QuestionsSome 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 QuestionsWhich newsgroups deal with the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe main newsgroup for control issues is netscape.public.mozilla.embedding. The control is also mentioned occasionally in netscape.public.mozilla.general and netscape.public.mozilla.xpcom.
Related QuestionsHow can the Mozilla control be binary compatible with the IE control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsActiveX (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.
Related QuestionsWhy does the Mozilla installer break the control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe 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.
Related QuestionsWhat do I need to do to use the control after I install Mozilla?
Frequently Asked QuestionsYou must register it. Once you have registered the control you should be able to insert it into your VB application as you might any other control.
Related QuestionsHow difficult is it to port some existing code from IE to the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe 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.
Related QuestionsHow do I port some C++ to use the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThat 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.

Draft rec.boats.cruising FAQMy name is David Dennis, and I'll be very up front about this: I have virtually no cruising experience, an attribute that would seem to disqualify myself completely and utterly from FAQ writing or maintenance. What I've discovered over the years, though, is that one of the best ways to learn and accumulate knowledge and eventually become an expert is to write a FAQ. And, since I'm an inverterate reader, I know quite a bit more than one might think.Related Questions

Why isn't the Mozilla ActiveX control marked safe for scripting?
Frequently Asked QuestionsBecause 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.
