I know Silverlight OOB apps support them but what is the case for full trust in browser?
So for example you could click on a stock link in a trading application and we would pop out window that shows you some details about the stock price such as realtime updating charts etc...
We want this as a true window not a Javascript popup or a ChildWindow in SL.
From this blog (linked from silverlight.net): http://10rem.net/blog/2011/04/13/silverlight-5-working-with-operating-system-windows and the official Silverlight blog: http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/10-Laps-around-Silverlight-5-Part-6-of-10.aspx it seems it's an OOB only feature.

I want to use MS Edge as an html editor. Is that possible?
Can I use c++ to access undo stack?
If so, please point me to any kind of documentation.
Thanks
I don't have any sources for this, but I'm pretty certain that Microsoft didn't carry this functionality over into Edge - especially considering that you can't embed Edge in a C++ or .NET desktop application the same way you can with IE.
I don't see any reason you couldn't just keep using MSHTML, though.
When referring to the MS Web Browser Control documentation there is, at the top of the page:
We're no longer updating this content regularly. Check the Microsoft Product Lifecycle for information about how this product, service, technology, or API is supported.
And next to it, a button: "Recommended Version."
Click the button, and it's the MS Edge dev portal. From there, we see, amongst others. a link to Mozilla Developer Network Web Docs, and another to MS's own Progressive Web Apps on Windows. Not so MSHTML edity anymore, but if you want it implemented, then perhaps uservoice?
I have created a web page based on the log-in (facebook) specs that works correctly through IE, Safari, Mozilla. I'm trying to set-up an ipad running a Kiosk software program. The link that I have works correctly, but when it comes to the sign-in on facebook it stalls via iPad/Kiosk software. I contacted the software support team with Kiosk, and this is what was said
"It looks like the problem is caused by Kiosk Pro's inability to open more than one window; this is a result of having to use Apple's UI Web View browser as the base browser of Kiosk Pro and is not something we can change. Opening your page in Safari or a desktop browser the Facebook page opens as a separate pop-up over top of your page, which remains open even after the Facebook page closes. In Kiosk Pro, since there is no way to open another window, the Facebook link is navigated to inside the main window and there is no way for the user to get back to your main page (short of hitting the home button or idle timing out) once they have finished the facebook process. Unfortunately, this is a structural issue that I don't have any easy solutions for."
Is there any work around, etc. that anyone can guide me to resolve this issue. What I'm trying to do, it use an ipad as a kiosk to allow people to "like" my store as they visit. However, I'm using the Kiosk software to prevent the user from accessing any further info, web browsing, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Can non-Metro Windows apps (ex: Explorer) be built with the new WinRT, or must they still be Win32 based?
I asked this during the 'Ask the Experts' session at //Build/. The answer was "Yes, within reason. Not all of the WinRT api's will function when called from desktop apps - for example any metro specific ones will fail. No explicit list of which ones work from desktop (non-metro) apps is available."
Edit:
It appears that the documentation has been updated to provide a list of WinRT api's available from the desktop.
From "Dev Center - Metro style apps"

We have received a number of inquiries in this area.
The documentation will be expanding as the Windows 8 project
progresses to include more API specific details. It is possible to
use WinRT from Desktop applications. WinRT APIs may be tied to Metro
style apps, Desktop apps or potentially available to both. The
documentation will list which environments (Desktop, Metro style or
both) a given API works in. Note: Custom WinRT components are only
supported in Metro style applications. They are not supported in
Desktop applications.
I am looking for a way to embed ads to my desktop APIs. There are planty solutions out there for web sites which stream ads from Ad Networks. However, I didn't find one which will allow to get a similar ad content to the app.
Does any one have any experience with this?
Thanks!!
Which operating system are you targeting? If you are on Windows you could always display the ads within an embedded/automated IE window (assuming IE is installed). Alternatively, you could hook up to something like shareasale.com datafeeds and embed the appropriate links in your app. Clicking on the link (or description, image, etc) would merely cause a browser to launch at the appropriate site.
I have had the same pro, I found it was hard to find an ad network focus on desktop apps. Several months ago one of my developer friend told me he is using DesktopAd's ads in his Windows desktop apps. I downloaded their ads SDK and added into my Windows 8.1 apps, it only took me half a day finishing all the works. After that I can get revenue from ad clicks everyday. I hope my answer could be of some help to you.
I've been asked to build 'widgets' that let users of a web application install a desktop, or web-based widget which will provide:
Notifications of new content.
Personalized access to key performance indicators
I'm looking for some information to inform our requirements and design discussions.
On the desktop you can target the Vista Sidebar, or on OS X there is the Dashboard, as well as others. From the web perspective you can target iGoogle and others. If I was to start by developing for the widget framework that had the greatest number of users, which would I choose? Does anyone provide statistics on the number of users?
The client would prefer to provide a richer experience for end users and I think this could be achieved using a desktop widget framework. However there would be some questions around the number of users that we can hit with any single framework (eg. sidebar). What technology or framework could I target that gives me cross-platform compatibility? Should we embed Flash?
Rather than live within a widget framework, I was going to suggest the creation of a standalone application. Are there any frameworks that help facilitate the creation of widget-like applications?
Target platforms:
Windows (Windows XP and newer)
Apple (OS X 10.4 and newer)
Linux (nice to have)
You can put a glance on Adobe Air.
It allows a cross-platform development in Flash/Flex or HTML/JS.
