Oops, ok done that.

Your confidence in my abilities is flattering :)

However I now have :-

void __fast TMDIChild1::ITimageClick(TObject *Sender)
{
char DefaultBrowser[MAX_PATH+1] = {0};
        MDIChild2->GetDefaultBrowser(DefaultBrowser);

        STARTUPINFO si = {sizeof(STARTUPINFO), 0};
        PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = {0};

        AnsiString CmdLine = (AnsiQuotedStr(DefaultBrowser, '"') + " " +
        AnsiQuotedStr("http://www.minitutorials.com", '"'));

        if( ::CreateProcess(NULL, CmdLine.c_str(), NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0,
        NULL, NULL, &si, &pi) )
        {
          WaitForInputIdle(pi.hProcess, INFINITE);
          ::CloseHandle(pi.hThread);
          ::CloseHandle(pi.hProcess);
          MyInfo info = {pi.dwProcessId, NULL};
          ::EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC)FindBrowser,reinterpret_cast<LPARAM>(&info));

          if( info.hWnd != NULL )
             {
             ::SetParent ( info.hWnd, Form4->Handle );
             Form4->Show();
             }

          }

}

This still does not work, the Internet Explorer window still opens up in a 
new window of its own external to my app, have I still got it wrong, 
something missing, or maybe a different approach is required. The code above 
all gets executed in that all ifs get executed, it seems that the 
WaitForInputIdle() is not working somehow.

I have tried other variations that I have seen in Borland Newsgroups and 
other sites none of which worked for me.

I am still experimenting. I take it WaitForInputIdle() is the correct/best 
way to go about this.?
