We use an ActiveX product from EzTools called Web On Windows (WOW).
It is an extremely good product that we have had no problems with. They even added a new feature for us when I contacted their support. It is an active X control that you can place on a form then use to load either a url, or raw html. We use it extensively throughout our application, mainly for viewing html emails sent to clients, or previewing html emails before we send them. We just load back in the raw html that was sent (or to be sent), it does not have to be a physical page on a webserver somewhere.
You can also receive events back within your windows application, when the user clicks a link within the webpage, so your application can handle it rather than linking off another webpage. Again, a very useful feature we use a bit too.
Extremely easy to get up and running - place on a form and literally one line of code to get it working : Set the url property
browser.uRL := "
http://www.tenderlink.com";
or load the raw html code
browser.loadHTML("<html><body>Hello world</body></html>");
Worth checking out - works for us anyway.
