How does Web Toolbar display web page in main window pane?

We want to create a custom control that will display a web page in the main
(Explorer) window pane. The Web Toolbar does it so it must be possible but
we want to enter the URL programmatically rather that have the user enter it.
(We currently do this by creating a new folder & settings its WebViewURL, but
are having problems with that so I'm trying to replace that code with
something more straightforward.) Is there some way our code can access the
functionality that the Web Toolbar uses?

If we could get the Web Toolbar to display a URL that our code gives it
programatically, that would be some progress, but I can't figure out how to
get our URL into the Web Toolbar.

As an aside:
I would rather have my own control so I don't change the list of URLs that
belongs to the Web Toolbar. When I tried making a copy of the Web Toolbar's
"Address" control, however, the original and the copy seemed to share the
same URL list rather than having separate lists, which defeats the point of
having a new control.
