Hi!

I'm not sure if it should be a topic for the wxWidgets forums (I have posted there too), but maybe somebody here could help me.

I am developing an application in C++ using wxWidgets, and we have considered the option of integrating Silverlight controls into it, concretely the Media Player. The way I think is inserting in a wxHtmlWindow (simple browser) object, the HTML page that contains Silverlight controls.

Anybody knows if it could be possible?

Thanks for your help!

I don't know wxWidgets, but if it just hosts an IE or FF shell, then it should work but if its a private HTML browser implementaiton, it won't know what to do with the object tag.  YOu could augment it to support it, but it wouldn't be trivial.  Does it support Flash?

 No, it does not support Flash. It has a private HTML browser implementation that only supports simple HTML pages (for example for help, etc.). It does not show Silverlight content. I think it exists some complement libraries for wxWidgets as wxMozilla that implement Gecko/Firefox browser as a wxWidgets object.

Thanks for your reply!
 

If it doesn't support Flash then supporting SL will require quite a bit of work IMHO.
