The embedded iwebbrowser and iwebbrowser2 I think used by dhtmledit 
might also disappear soon. From memory they are tied to internet 
explorer and actually allow ocx the run inside them. Given IE is about 
to be completely removed from Windows soon its time to move on.

The recommended way to show files and objects is to use the 
iPreviewHandler interface. I would have thought someone would have coded 
a paradox specific DLL by now, but maybe not.

This is the link to the nuts and bolts of that interface: 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/preview-handlers

It's non-trivial I am afraid but once working it is fast as images 
preview in their own thread if done correctly.
