MSHTML was introduced in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. It is the main HTML component of the Internet Explorer browser and can be used in other applications. It hosts Microsoft ActiveX Controls and supports the OLE Control '96 (OC96) specification for windowless controls.

MSHTML itself is an Active Document, so it can be hosted by implementing the Active Document interfaces in an application. MSHTML can also be customized by aggregation to create a special-purpose HTML Active Document. Applications that contain MSHTML supply their own toolbars and menu user interface (UI). The container can also override the default context menus.

You can also use MSHTML without UI activation to make use of the MSHTML ability to parse HTML. By loading HTML, you can use the object model to access the underlying HTML and modify any elements. Component Object Model (COM) objects hosted by MSHTML (such as ActiveX Controls) also have the ability to access the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Object Model.

To integrate Internet browsing into an application, it is recommended that you host the WebBrowser Control. The WebBrowser control implements support for in-place linking and navigation, in addition to MSHTML.

To customize printing and the Print Preview feature introduced in Internet Explorer 5.5, use the IDM_PRINT and IDM_PRINTPREVIEW commands to pass the URL of a custom print template to MSHTML. Print templates give you control over the way MSHTML prints a document; they also offer control over the UI features provided in print preview mode.

TB_HTML.DLL is a collection of wrapper functions that allow you to use the Microsoft HTML Object Library in procedural form using PowerBASIC Compiler for Windows 7.0+ or PowerBASIC Console Compiler 3.0+.
