Displaying the internet
Post by JB91 on Aug 23^rd, 2010, 12:03pm

Is it possible in BBC BASIC to make your own internet browser and display the internet?

I have not found any information on this sort of thing.

You can certainly load and display web pages. The easiest way is probably to incorporate an ATL Container Control in your program:

However if you click on a link in such a page it will open a new browser window, rather than staying within your own program. There's an article here on how to avoid that, but it would probably need assembler code to implement the interfaces in BB4W:
