I have managed to open up a window and would like to add the webbrowser
control to it.

I am trying to do this with AtlAxCreateControl.

The parameters I am passing it are,
AtlAxCreateControl(" http://www.*-*-*.com/ ", m_myWnd, NULL, NULL);

now i have to cast the url like this.
LPSTR s = " http://www.*-*-*.com/ ";
LPCOLESTR ss = reinterpret_cast<LPCOLESTR>(ss);

then i can say,
AtlAxCreateControl(ss, m_myWnd, NULL, NULL);

when i do this, I click a button on my app to open the window. the
window opens and then another window with the MSN Search Fail page is
opened up. I cannot figure out why this is. I have not found anything
in the documentation that can help me.

Any help is appreciated.

Before you buy.

The cast won't help - you need a real LPOLESTR pointer (as same as LPWSTR
under Win32). Use:

AtlAxCreateControl(L"http://www.microsoft.com", m_myWnd, NULL, NULL);

instead.
