Microsoft web browser AX control

Question

Hi all I'm having a bit of trouble with the Microsoft ActiveX web browser control. After I placed it on a WinForm and set up events, I tried to set up an event for catching the NewWindow2 event, which is fired whenever a new browser window should appear. My problem is that once the event is fired, I don't know how to make it launch a new instance of my browser program. MSDN says the AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_NewWindow2Event parameter has a .ppDisp variable (and it does) which I can set to be an instance of my custom web browser - but it apparently doesn't work. Here's my code private void htmlControl_NewWindow2(object sender, AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_NewWindow2Event e) { MyBrowserControl childBrowser = new MyBrowserControl(); e.ppDisp = childBrowser.htmlControl; // .htmlControl is the MS ActiveX web browser control childBrowser.ShowDialog(); } This doesn't work - no new window pops up. What am I doing wrong here?

Nevermine figureded it out. Turns out instead of setting ppDisp to the MS Web Browser control you have to set ppDisp to the web browser control's .Application property. private void htmlControl_NewWindow2(object sender AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_NewWindow2Event e) { // send the new web browser instance back to the caller. MyWebBrowserForm myBrowser = new MyWebBrowserForm(); e.ppDisp = myBrowser.htmlControl.Application; // here's the trick where html control is the MS Web Browser AXcontrol // and finally show the new window myBrowser.ShowDialog() }
