Hi All,

Well I'm back with this old chestnut again, been busy with other stuff but 
want to try and crack this again.

Just a recap for those that don't have the original messages to this thread 
.

My original program opens a web page in multiple (selected and installed) 
web browsers  (IE, Opera, NS, Mozilla, Firefox and many more)
for cross-browser testing of that page/site. Each of these Browsers opens up 
in their own window as they normally would.

I would 'like' for each of these Browsers to open up - still in their own 
window and fully featured - but have each of those windows docked
inside my own application , preferably in a tabbed setup, so you can tab 
between browsers (programs) within my app.

Originally I used ShellExecute to open up the browsers, but have been 
advised (here) I need to use CreateProcess() so I can then grab the process 
id (or whatever) of the Browser Window so I can redirect it into my 
form/tabbed page Before it shows outside my program.

So now I have CreateProcess opening up the chosen web browser(s) no 
problem - trouble is I can not give it any arguments - I can not specify 
which web site to open up to, it currently opens the default home page no 
matter what I tell it.

I am now doing it like this (GetDefaultBrowser function defined earlier) :-

void __fastcall TMDIChild1::ITimageClick(TObject *Sender)
{
char DefaultBrowser[50];
MDIChild2->GetDefaultBrowser(DefaultBrowser);
//ShellExecute("parent", "Open", DefaultBrowser, 
http://www.minitutorials.com ,NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); <== The old way !!
STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
memset(&pi, 0, sizeof(pi));
memset(&si, 0, sizeof(si));
si.cb = sizeof(si);
CreateProcess(DefaultBrowser, http://www.minitutorials.com, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
0, &si, &pi);

}

Now, 'The old way' commented out worked fine and opened up the argument url, 
the new way using CreateProcess does not. Now, I know the second argument of 
CreateProcess is the command line version of the first, but I can not see 
where else I would define my url I need the browser to open up at.

The above is a new problem to my original and although a neccesary fix is 
required , is not as important as knowing what to do next ...

Assuming CreateProcess() is working , which it is to a point, how do I then 
locate the process as it starts and redirect it (dock it) into my 
application inside a tabbed page or form.? ( I will need to do this for all 
Browser processes as they open, stick them in their own tab or form)

Needless to say I am searching for an answer, but as I have been working on 
this for 2 years now (no joke!) some guidance would be a great help to me, 
thanks very much.
