Quite a few of them once put on a form have a help. Also with intellisense,
the methods and properties will pop up when you type the control name in a
method. The object browser can also be used to see whats in there. Note for
the ie browser that intellisense can report weird methods that exist but not
in the right place.

OK... someone asked if I "GOOGLED IT".. yes I did. I found alot of links
that eluded to its EXISTANCE... some places offered an application (in VB or
Java) that used it... but no where was there any info on just how to use it.
What properties/methods are accessible and what do they expect?

"what do I want to do with it?". I don't have that information.

My question was posed on the MICROSOFT BROWSER control only because it
sounded like something that people (us) might use. I tinkered with it... but
could not get anything to run............ I tried alot of guessing where to
plug in a URL... but nothing (so far) has worked. Any attempt to run the
form with that control on it came back with immediate runtime errors from
the control itself.

SO. here is the question: Having found an ActiveX control living on my PC...
Is there any logical search path for property/method roadmap info for the
control?? If you folks use one.... did you "tinker" it out?? Do you hunt for
some example code someplace specific?

If you said more what you want to do with them maybe the list members could
give you other ways, maybe better, of doing these things.

How would I find out "how to" interact with these type controls.

We were talking about using substitute activex controls to do what the
Internet control pack would do... ok... I found a microsoft explorer
control.... but where do I find how to make "it" work?? Is there some
collection of help pages on these things??

TIA
Chuck
