Embedding DWT

[sleek]

Frank,

So we are using win32_new which seems to be correctly creating the root 
shell for us. However, if we open any child windows that parent this root 
shell and then close those windows, it seems like something is crashing 
because the window _and_ the root window (in this case IE) go away. Any 
ideas?

As to the COM server, we used dwin. The activex control we created used DWT. 
I'd be more than happy to share this code with you. Do you have an IM 
account that we can chat live?
