Is there a preferred way of monitoring activity in IE from a .NET based
application? It used to be possible to register for URLEcho events with a
DDE server. Since DDE isn't directly supported by .NET, it seems that there
should be some relatively straightforward way to do this, but I can't find
it.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately, there is no directly way to interact directly with IE in
.NET.
Have you looked handling DWebBrowserEvents2::BeforeNavigate2 event?
And you still could use DDE functions by P/Invoke Win32 APIs in .NET,
You may search "Platform Invoke Tutorial" in MSDN library to see how to
call Win32 API in .NET. You may also check www.pinvoke.net to get the
P/invoke definition for these APIs.

If you have any problems on this issue, please feel free to reply this
thread.
Thanks!

Thank you, the old DDE method will work for me. I mainly needed to confirm whether or not there is a more current / preferred method. I'll also look into whether handling the event might work, but expect that would be a somewhat more involved solution.

Best,
Dave
