Thanks for the fast reply,

I've read it, but still don't understand what you mean by

"but hooks the COM functions to redirect calls to custom IE versions instead of the standard one installed on the OS."

Also, using the Trident ActiveX Control in MFC I get a control on my dialog that I can resize, position, etc, can I get the same result from the other versions of the engine, or do I need to do some trick to have them rendered inside this ActiveX Control?

thanks for any help!
