I’ve looked for this in the past and been unsuccessful. (I’d love to see a solution get posted!)
One option is a commercial package from chilkatsoft that will do this, but at $150. Makes sense if you are doing a commercial app, but tough to swallow otherwise.
I wound up calling out to the system for my solution, a while ago. Unfortunately, this locks it to a platform.
