Can anyone enlighten me to whether the following is possible, and if so, the complexity?
I've got a web-based game, and for advertising purposes I thought it might be useful to actually wrap the game in a custom interface. I know Java Swing has a basic browser container that can call and display webpages, but I need the full functionality of IE.
So is it possible to build an exe that is basically just a container that has a frame that uses a user's native IE? This way I could wrap a custom "browser" interface around this frame that functions as IE and browses the content pages of the game.
