Mozilla web gadget

Ok, I found this website ( http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/control.htm ) but not sure if its really PB compatible. Is this possible to integrate in PB? And what about this?

IEPatcher is a tool to scan an executable or DLL and patch it to replace instances of the IE control with the Mozilla control. Since both controls are binary compatible, this is just a matter of replacing the CLSID_WebBrowser with CLSID_MozillaBrowser. If you have built the Mozilla browser, try running the patcher on an app that uses IE and see if it works!

I posted about this a while back... the patcher doesn't seem to work with PB... but if you can figure out how to create your own WebGadget using API only, then you could modify it to work with this easily...

The only thing I care about is getting the current website. Do you know how to do this with Mozilla (or any other browser for that matter)?

Mozilla's the only one I know of that has a compatibility layer like this... So I would read up on creating a WebGadget with pure API... then you'll be able to create IE and Mozilla gadgets....

Just parse the html file and draw everything (text,pictures,..)
with the style specified in the html file on an image.

All I want to do is get the current URL, so is their any shortcut? I don't think I'd know how to make a pure API WebGadget lol.
