Run an Application in a browser

[knuckle05]

Hi All,

Do you think it would be possible to run a full-blown application in a web browser?

I've seen sopme sites that use toolbars and other controls that look like standard windows controls.

I've succeeded in using the standard Treeview, ImageList , and Listview controls in the IE browser to mimic the behavior of the Windows Explorer utility.

What I'd like to accomplish is a web app that has virtually the same look and feel of Microsoft Outlook.

Anyhow, I know I could build images with rollovers and behaviours, but I'm looking for a simpler way to build and maintain it. I would like to use as many of the standard controls packaged with say MS Visual Studio via the web browser, hence my question as to whether it would actually be possible to run an app inside a browser.

Any questions, comments are appreciated. Thanks!

you still cannot do it as IE does not allow it.... the other way is like Flash create a plugin for ur type of files....
