embed

hi, I need to write quickly this application: a simple window that wraps a web browser control, that runs html pages. The Browser UI (e.g. Navigation buttons) should be suppressed.

As a .net developer, I would embed the WebBrowser OCX in a Windows Form. But this has to run on Mac as well!!

I found the following cross-platform candidates. Which one would you choose (in terms of simplicity, stableness, community support, etc.):

1) wxWidgets (www.kirix.com/labs/wxwebconnect.html)

2) QT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee8eRwjbcFk&feature=related

3) MONO: www.mono-project.com/WebBrowser

Thanks!
