Web Browser in a Paradox form

I have a new download available that demonstrates placing the IE control (IE 5.0 causes problems; you should have 5.1 or newer (not sure about 4.x)) on a Paradox form. Source files included.

Inspect/run the jsiBrowser.ssl to get a handle on how I've set it up. There is a settings.ini that controls which site the form starts up displaying.
The script lays out the details. It also automatically loads the appropriate form for the version of Paradox being used (for later, if distributing only delivered versions).

NOT available for Paradox 7, unfortunately (well, you MIGHT be able to load the P8 form; but you'll likely get a GPF and then it MIGHT load; you'll need to copy the P8 library to jsiBrowser7.lsl as well if you want to try it).

LOTS of OCX/ActiveX controls won't work in P7 that will work in P8+.

I have a source form and library for each version of Paradox. This makes it easy to just deliver and distribute.

This would be a good start to an HTML based Help system. Or for displaying your applications' docs from within your apps. Your help system could be 'context sensitive', since you control the html page(s) to point to. And with named href links, the form could open directly to the paragraph/subject you wished it to.

A web browser in a paradox form acts as a loop where searching a web page loads in the paradox browser itself.
