You could use Visual Basic, Delphi and even early .NET IDE's to drop the control on your Form. Viola! Gecko HTML renderer in your app. | We used to support an ActiveX wrapper around Gecko.

Supporting the rest was unrealistic. Plus, Microsoft kept adding new interfaces. | We dropped support because we were constantly chasing the hundreds of interfaces Microsoft supported around MSHTML.
