Hi everyone,
Do anybody can confirm if I can use the GeckoWebBrowser (System.Windows.Forms.Control) within a console application...
If you ask... WHY? That's because I currently got my geckofx implementation to retrieve custom statistics, so I do not care if URL provided is displayed or not, I just need the data I excepted once the page load is completed....
Any opinion?
Thanks in advance

It is possible

but not particularly easy
Mainly what you can do is to create a hidden form and run it on its own thread that will be blocked in its message loop.
Take into account that you can't call the object to navigate from a different thread, you have to use the invoke function of the form to asynchronous call it and receive the answer in a delegate.

This is quite complicated.
Is there any "easier way" how to build console app with geckofx?
Thanks
