-parent => parent window (Required) -name => window name (Required) -size => window size [ width, heigth ] -pos => window pos [ left, top ] -width => window width -height => window height -left => window left -top => window top -control => clisd (see below) (Required).
clsid is a string identifier to create the control. Must be formatted in one of the following ways:
- A ProgID such as "MSCAL.Calendar.7"
- A CLSID such as "{8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02}"

Note that "MSHTML:" must precede the HTML fragment so that it is designated as being an MSHTML stream.
