IMHO, it is in theory possible to create a widget that would use CEF project to create a browser in U++ apps. I was toying with it a while back, when CEF wasn't as good as it is now, but I didn't have time to fully integrate it into U++ back then and I don't have that time now either. Also I might be missing patience to do it too Smile

I believe that all you'd need to do would be to create a Ctrl based class which would properly pass events (Key, Mouse) and take care of the painting. It might be little easier with the GTK backend, as the example cefclient is implemented with gtk and could be used as an inspiration. The relevant parts of cefclient code have about 2.5k lines, so it seems it is not very complicated Smile

Best regards,
Honza
