1) bug fixes. what if a security hole is found in the mozilla engine ? as the activex is a separate package you can easily update it and all apps based on it will be fixed.
2) maintainance. it will be an hell to follow all the release and include them in PB.
Ii don't think than the activex redistribution and installation is a problem, as it's relatively small (4,7 mb) and got a blind install (almost nothing to do).
Your right and ppl can include it in their install pacage with inno setup ot nsis i think with that they can instal the activex
Or ppl just put it as a 3ª party software
Mabe you could do something to check if ppl have it and if not use ie
I have simply copied the library from the Mozilla ActiveX folder, uninstalled it, then in my purebasic program simply registered the require variable - mozctlx.dll
When the program ended, i then unregistered the variable.
Works pretty well, although including the whole files will increase your program by 4 mbs

BTW, we will just add a flag to the current WebGadget() to enable mozilla use.
Has this been done ?
If so, the help doesn't have the flags and still states that IE is required......
