How to call Internet Explorer from Delphi

[bholas]

Now that Internet Explorer is a standard part of Windows NT 4.0 and future versions of Windows [95], you may find it useful to add a hot key to your program which will take the user to your home page. Here's a simple function which will do just that:
program iexplor;

uses
Windows, OLEAuto;


procedure OpenInternetExplorer( sURL : string );
const
csOLEObjName = 'InternetExplorer.Application';
var
IE : Variant;
WinHanlde : HWnd;
begin
if( VarIsEmpty( IE ) )then
begin
IE := CreateOleObject( csOLEObjName );
IE.Visible := true;
IE.Navigate( sURL );
end else
begin
WinHanlde := FindWIndow( 'IEFrame', nil );
if( 0 <> WinHanlde )then
begin
IE.Navigate( sURL );
SetForegroundWindow( WinHanlde );
end else
begin
// handle error ...
end;
end;
end;

begin
OpenInternetExplorer( 'microsoft.com' );
end.
