How to use HSP, WOW, EzStor Together in your Windows Applications

We will now show you how easy it is to embed webbrowser (WOW) controls in your Windows programs, and display dynamically generated HTML.  Doing this has great advantages over traditional user interface display methods.  Just take a look at what Microsoft is doing with this technology to see what we mean.

Here are the steps involved in using this system:

  1. Create your ASP, HTML and graphic content in the same way you would for any ASP website.
  2. Use EzStor to create a content storage file  and add all of your content created in step 1.
  3. Embed the WOW control on at least one form in your program (you can place as many WOW controls as you like).
  4. Load the WOW control(s) with the ASP/HTML content (at the appropriate time) stored in your EzStor file.

If it seems simple, it is (really).  We will now take the above steps one at a time.

Create your content

The first thing is to create your ASP/HTML/graphic content.  You can use ADO in your ASP to display information from a database, just as you would using server-side ASP.  Or you could display file listing, file contents, System information, or any other kind of data.

You can create any folder hierarchy you like, just as you would for a website.  For example, you may have a sub-folder to hold your graphics files as shown here:
