Short Description

KaKeeware HTMLDialog can be trated as yet another approach to make the smallest browser in the world, but the focus wasn't on the size this time, but on making displaying HTML content easily available from assembly.

Full Description

KaKeeware Browser was using the embedded Web Control to show HTML content.
In this approach, I am using the mshtml!ShowHTMLDialog function that can be really handy if we don't want to deal with COM objects too much (please note: in the example, I don't care for freeing the COM resources - you should take care of these in a "real" application!).

The size of the executable is 1776 bytes, and as usual, its size can be even smaller*.
This time, the file is packed with Upack

* In this example I am using the content that is built-in in the resources section, but I could grab it from the Web as well. It would significantly reduce the size of the final file.

The content displayed by a demo program is a modified version of an excellent Metaballs HTML demo by poi (works under IE only).

You can see how it looks like, by clicking the image below (you need Flash plugin to play the movie).
