Question Controlling webpages with ActiveX Controls
Hi,

I have been programming a simple HTML editor in Visual Basic 5 in the form of an ActiveX control. This is all fine and dandy but I need to know how I can control the Browser window using this control. For example when someone clicks the 'Save' command button I want the browser to open a small window containing a server side script that will save (upload) the selected HTML file. How can I re-direct and control the browser in this way?

Regards

Tajmiester

Unhappy Create Internet Explorer Object
Great!

But how can I use this control to control the external browser. Remember the ActiveX control I am writing actually resides between '<OBJECT>' tags in an HTML document. How can I control the location of this Internet Explorer window or perhaps create another?

Can I use the the CreateObject function and is so what are the application and class names that would make up its argument to create a new Internet Explorer Window?

Oh, you are using an IE activeX from a web page. Sorry, I have never done any IE activeX objects.
