If Juno were updated and we knew how to use it properly, I think it'd be 
pretty easy in D, too. But Juno is a little out-of-date right now (and I 
don't know how to use it very well).

I want to be clear: I'm a big fan of Juno (and I've added some content 
to its wiki), but it's not my project. Juno belongs to John.

Well, I don't mean to nitpick, but that's the link for Core32 (which I 
am kind of in charge of, but it's been abandoned).

Juno's link is http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno

That example requires l8night/dfc and Core32 (both of which would need 
to be updated to use with recent versions of D). It shows how to create 
embed Internet Explorer into an application -- which I think is really 
cool, but it'd take some work to update it for DMD 1.00+.

I wouldn't consider Juno to be "very" outdated, but it hasn't been 
updated since a revision or two before DMD 1.00 came out. So its 
development has fallen behind.

I developed a simple Internet Explorer example to work using the 
Microsoft Script Control (which is sort of cheating) using a slightly 
modified version of oldrev's Juno version.

Anyway, I think it might be helpful for you, so I attached the code. I 
don't think that it quite does what you want, but perhaps it will serve 
as inspiration.
