WebKitX ActiveX wraps Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF3) into an out-of-process ActiveX component for use with OLE/COM languages. Chromium Embedded Framework encapsulates WebKit Blink HTML5 Renderer and Google V8 JavaScript Engine. This is a production-grade stable component for commercial use that will truly add HTML5 features in your Desktop and Terminal Applications.
