|  Using a Web Browser within your Linux Application I wanted to know whether we can embed a web browser into our Linux application, the way we can do it in Windows programming using ActiveX objects? Is there a way to implement Mozilla FireFox inside your application? Is there a custom Qt widget that achieves the same? |

| It can be done on linux with SWT, but that's a Java library. If your really eager you can look at the C source for the SWT Browser widget to see how it's done (it's all JNI stuff).

| It's possible to do it, but it's particular to each browser and toolkit. I don't think Qt itself offers a browser widget, but you can use a Konqueror KPart to easily embed Konqueror. GTK+ offers a browser widget, I think, which embeds something Gecko-based.

| or use glade and make your own widget for gtk to embed whichever browser you want to use. the gre is frequently used as an embedded browser engine. even KDE stopped working on thier own rendering engine / library and just use the mozilla engine. [ KHTML is a dead library, the kparts tools do use the gecko rendering engine. ]

KHTML is under active development and is planned to have several new features in KDE4.

| really CornedBee? two months ago when I was looking for the khtml sources I could only find not being developed anymore tarballs of them, from KDE.org links. I could not find any khtml sources newer than 1 year.

| http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/khtml/ There you go. Last checking 29 hours ago. I'd say that qualifies as active development. I don't know (and don't care) about tarballs.
