What do you mean by IE links? URLs?

You can also use DDE:

var
IeClient : TDdeClientConv;
p : PChar;
begin
IeClient := TDdeClientConv.Create (nil);
try
with IeClient do
begin
SetLink ('IEXPLORE', 'WWW_GetWindowInfo');
p := RequestData ('0xFFFFFFFF');
// p is your URL, etc.... do whatever you want with it...
StrDispose (p);
CloseLink;
end;
finally
IeClient.Free;
end;
end;

mnasman your code worked all right, but I've got some simple questions about it:
1) how do you know the Internet Explorer Class is called "IEFrame"
2) how can I do the same with Netscape

the points are already yours but first please explain me these things.

many thanks.

Hello pin_plunder

for the first question, if you are run winsight that come with delphi, it will show u all the running processes, and you will find that the IE have the class {IEFrame}, so from there you can know these things.

for second question, Honestly I havn't tried that with netscape, I havn't used it from long time, but if I have a free time, I will install it and try that
