If the native C++ wrapper wxIEHtmlWin seems to be working for everyone I
would like to suggest that a native Acrobat reader wrapper be created as
well. While it is possible to use win32all, it would be a lot slicker to
have something like wxIEHtmlWin so there are native events, etc. This would
make wxPython even more appealing to those using ReportLab
http://www.reportlab.com/ since it simplifies display of generated PDF under
Windows.
I haven't played a lot with the wxIEHtmlWin class, but I did notice today
that it is perfectly happy displaying any plug-in content such as Quicktime
or Windows Media. So you can load a local URL such as "C:\\Program
Files\\QuickTime\\Sample.mov" or a remote one which is extremely cool. The
downside is that I don't see a way using a plug-in viewer to control the
plug-in via the IE control, thus more dedicated wrappers would probably be
welcome for such common "players" as Acrobat and maybe Windows Media or
Quicktime.
Just a thought,
