Suggestion: CEGUI::HTMLWindow

[Van]

It would be nice to have an HTML window where it could display HTML web pages. It would really make the library very robust.

While not exactly what you are after you could embed a third party HTML renderer into an application using CEGUI. Various people are doing cool things with the Gecko rendering engine (from Mozilla.org - used in Firefox), for example http://ubrowser.com/index.php.

Offering native support for HTML rendering supporting all the relevant standards would be a full-time job so maybe for now embedding another HTML renderer would be the best way to go.

Embedding Gecko would definitely be the way to go. This UBrowser looks very interesting.

Excellent idea! I can just imagine all the cool CEGUI events that a HTMLWindow would emit (small steps first ). It's a shame the UBrowser developer even bothered with a GLUI implementation when he could have been here, helping to make CEGUI support HTML.

Anyone had any success in implementing this or something similar? I would really like to hear from you.

Have a look at this Ogre Wiki entry as well as it's related message board thread.

Thanks Rackle!

However, still in early development - the story of my life.
