I would like to embed mozilla firefox into my application WITHOUT using any activex control (TWebBrowser wrapper, mozilla ActiveX...). I tried using TWebBrowser (actually bsalsa

You can embed DLLs into your application and "load" then using BTMemoryModule.pas (just google it and you find it).

If this DLL is a COM object it might work to "load" the COM DLL factory and obtaining an instance of the COM interface you want:

var
    // Our own method of COM / OLE object loading!
    Lib:       HMODULE;
    Ptr:       TDllGetClassObject;
    Unl:       TDLLCanUnloadNow;
    I:         IClassFactory;
initialization
    Lib := LoadLibrary( 'zkemkeeper.dll' );
    Ptr := GetProcAddress( Lib, 'DllGetClassObject' );
    Unl := GetProcAddress( Lib, 'DllCanUnloadNow' );
    if Assigned( Ptr ) and ( Ptr( CLASS_CZKEM, IClassFactory, I ) <> S_OK ) then I := nil;
finalization
    I := nil;

OleInitialize( nil );
// Create a IZKEM interface instance
if not Assigned( I ) then Exit;
if I.CreateInstance( nil, IZKEM, CZ ) <> S_OK then Exit;
if not Assigned( CZ ) then Exit;

I do not know how to embed executables.

I hope this info helps.
