TWebBrowser??

I just updated to Delphi 4 standard (from Delphi 2) and am trying out a few things with it.

I saw a short article on the web about adding in the Microsoft Internet Controls so i followed the instructions and now have two new components:

WebBrowser_V11:TWebBrowser_V1
WebBrowser1:TWebBrowser

My problem:

(1) I understand that the TWebBrowser can be used for displaying web pages, etc but what is the other component and the limitations of both of them (ie: can i display html files which contains javascript, graphics, etc?)

(2) Can anyone show me how to use the TWebBrowser to do such things as load html files from disk, display scroll bar if required only, etc.

I am completely new to this.

listening ... :-)

( just say : you can Call IE from your Delphi App that means you can write your HTML file by Delphi App then call IE by this procedure : )

procedure OpenInternetExplorer( sURL : string );
const
csOLEObjName = 'InternetExplorer.Application';
var
IE : Variant;
WinHanlde : HWnd;
begin
if( VarIsEmpty( IE ) )then
begin
IE := CreateOleObject( csOLEObjName );
IE.Visible := true;
IE.Navigate( sURL );
end else
begin
WinHanlde := FindWIndow( 'IEFrame', nil );
if( 0 <> WinHanlde )then
begin
IE.Navigate( sURL );
SetForegroundWindow( WinHanlde );
end else
begin
// handle error ...
end;
end;
end;
