Ok. Got the page completed issue sorted using the OnDocumentComplete event.
Just need to get the images from the page.

T(Cpp)WebBrowsr has a method to give you all the img's on that page.

 From thereon you can get the url in the src="url".

Code below shows the amount of images and after that displays the
src url's. Only it does not. It does display the url for the first image
only.

Maybe you can get it to work properly. At the moment I have no time for it.
If you get it to work pleas post the code.

I've fallen at the first hurdle!
Where do I get IHTMLDocument2 from? Is it part of C++Builder5?

The comment should have given you the clue:

       if(SUCCEEDED(HTMLDoc->get_images(&pAll)))  // mshtml.h

Oops! It does now. Thanks.

I've looked at the code, but have absolutely no idea why it doesn't work.
I've since found another code snippet that gets an image. In fact, there is 
only one image on the page I'm looking at, which makes it easy.
