Hi all,

I've got a vb 5 app which uses the webBrowsers control.  The WB navigates to
a local html file.  I've been looking for a way to wrap up the html page
into a resource and then have the WB control navigate to it (thus hiding the
html page - view source is already disabled).  I've got an article which
implies that this is possible, but I have had no success. Any ideas?  Or any
other ideas on protecting/hiding the html file from users?

Thanks in advance

Are you using HTML Help with your application? The WebBrowser Control can
navigate to a page within a compiled HTML Help file (CHM extension). You
could hide it away in there without giving user access to it through your
help contents.

Actually, you can bury a number of file types in CHM files. HTML Help seems
to use a very efficient compression algorithm and I have found this a useful
technique for storing GIFs, MIDI, etc to reduce the number of individual
files circling around an application.
