dumb question on TIpHtmlPanel

[mtanner]

Hope I've got this in the right section of the forum. It's a really dumb question.

I want to display a simple HTML file in a form.
I have a form, with a TIpHtmlPanel on it, linked to a TIpFileDataProivider.

But what now? I cannot see any properties or methods by which to specify the name of the file I want to display.

In the folder components/turbopower_ipro/examples, there's a demo "subab.lpi" which contains a FileDataProvider. Essentially, just pass the name of the html file to the method OpenURL of the HtmlPanel.

On https://sourceforge.net/projects/tpipro/files/tpipro_docs/1.15/ you can find the original TurboPower documentation for the delphi version of the Internet Professionals components suite. Please note that only a small fraction has been ported to Lazarus. Documentation for the HtmlPanel & related begins at page 405. Data providers are explained following page 328.
