Dear Monks

I guess the answer to my question will be "No", but I just want to be sure.

I have a GUI written in TK which I cannot port to another GUI language, too much complicated. In my software I miss a row Web browser to quick open Webpages INSIDE my application. With Win32::GUI there is a quite simple way to integrate a Web Browser in the own GUI. My question: Is it possible o combine the two toolkits? The idea would be to have a TK pane (or similar) and open a WebBrowser Active X (Win32::GUI::AxWindow) in it?

In my script below I have the two components, what I miss (and I guess is not possible at all) is how to show the browser in a TK window. Unpossible, isn't?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Win32::GUI qw();
use Win32::GUI::AxWindow;



my $mw = MainWindow->new;
    
Browser();

MainLoop;


sub Browser{
# Main Window
my $Window = Win32::GUI::Window->new(
    -name  => 'Window',
    -text  => 'Win32::GUI::AxWindow Web Browser',
    -pos   => [100, 100],
    -size  => [640, 480],
);
# Add a WebBrowser AxtiveX
my $Browser = Win32::GUI::AxWindow->new(
    -parent   => $Window,
    -name     => 'Browser',
    -control  => 'Shell.Explorer',
    -pos      => [0, 0],
    -size     => [640, 480],
);

# Register some event
$Browser->RegisterEvent(
    StatusTextChange => sub {
        my $self    = shift;
        my $eventid = shift;
        print 'Event : ', @_, "\n";
    }
);

# Call Method
$Browser->CallMethod('Navigate', 'http://www.perlmonks.org/');

# Event loop
$Window->Show();

Win32::GUI::Dialog();

# Main window event handler
sub Window_Resize {
    my($width, $height) = ($Window->GetClientRect)[2..3];
    $Browser->Move (0, 0);
    $Browser->Resize($width, $height);
    return 1;
}
}
