.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Interop / July 2004Internet Explorer Automation
Hi, I have a application that I need to create multiple new "iexplore.exe" processes (show more than once in taskmanger) and control them using the shdocvw/mshtml. I am able control Internet Explorer with instances created with the shdocvw. e.g. Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID ("InternetExplorer.Application"); And I am able to create the new "iexplore.exe" processes. e.g. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("iexplore.exe"); The problem I am having is creating the Internet Explorer with Process.Start() and being able to control it using the shdocvw/mshtml libraries. Is there a way I can use the process id of the started "iexplore.exe" and turn it into the IWebBrowser2 interface? Many thanks in advance Adam Hi, First, sorry for a rather vague answer. From what I remember, there is a custom window message allowing to obtain the Web browser interface when being sent to an IE window. So your task will be to determine one of the top-level windows of an "iexplore.exe" instance in question, and then to send the custom message to that window, obtaining a 32-bit pointer to the interface and then marshalling it to the managed space. So I welcome experts on interop and IE to add necessary details!
