I was looking for ways to create a dialog control that handled and displayed HTML, and came across this great source, posted by Jeff Glatt, on December 12th, 2002 -
While it is not a control in a dialog, it is a great example of a way to create a WIN32 simple window, and display HTML, in essence using the Microsoft IWebBrowser2 interface, but read the very well written, descriptive article, and study the source to understand more...
My first effort was the add a cmake build file generator, since this supports most versions of MSVC you may have installed, and lots of other windows code generators... and removed the dsw/dsp files...
My first wrinkle was in building the x64, 64-bit, WIN64 version. The interface replies on storing a pointer to the interface in the GWL_USERDATA, but that had to be changed for WIN64 to GWLP_USERDATA... not very difficult with an #ifdef WIN64 like macro switch...
Now it can be built either as 32 or 64 bit projects...
Note, the main aim of this code is educational in nature... just some sample code using the IWebBrowser2 interface, and is not intended as a fully functional application...
Building
> cd build # or build.x64
> cmake .. [options]
> cmake --build . --config Release
The above build folders contain a build-me.bat, which should work if you have MSVC14 2015 installed, or with any other installed MSVC with a few minor changes... some warnings may be issued, but should be no particular problem...

My big thanks to Jeff, and enjoy...
