Embed WOW controls in your Application

The EzStor file you created in step 2 can actually be run right inside Internet Explorer*.   To run a file from an EzStor file inside IE, just type this in the address bar of IE:

Here's a screenshot of the real thing:

This is a URL.  Instead of http: we specify the HSP protocol x-hsp:, followed by the EzStor filename, then the internal filename.  IE will invoke the HSP protocol handler (hsppp.dll) to retrieve the resource, which in this case is an ASP file.  HSP will run the script code and return the results, just as server-side ASP would do.

But this sample is meant to run in an embedded webbrowser (WOW) control, so that is where we will run it.  Create a VB project and add the EzTools Library in the Components dialog, as shown here.

Select the WOW control on the toolbar.

Now create a WOW control on your form as shown below.  You can set the border color and style to match the motif of your form.  Notice that we are mixing VB and other ActiveX controls on the form with the WOW control.  You could easily make the WOW control blend in with the form by removing the border and setting the background color of the webpage to be the same as the form.

Next we will set the page to be loaded so it will run when the program is loaded.
