Very good. Blut the real problem that arose from the moment I had to do with IE7 instead of IE6 is:

upon exiting (closing) (= Event "OnQuit") an instance of SHDocVw.InternetExplorer its parameter "LocationURL" does no longer contain the URL natigated to, but "about:blank"!

What am I now to do programming with VB6?

Thanks for your answer.

Super shiney !

I'ev been looking for exactly this since I installed IE7.

Thanks for the good work.

Hi,

Thanks Rahul....I noticed this does not work with VBA and on MS office on Vista. Each time the navigate method is called, a new window is opened. I want it to open in the same window.

any help will be useful

thanks

Hi,

This is further to my post above: In Vista 64 bit, while running VBA-Excel, I enclose the Internetexplorer in a class and within that class I did the event handling of Ie's events. Outside of the class I accessed the page downloaded by IE and parsed the contents. I have the following problems which I dont see while running on xp+office 2003 combo:

1. The code outside of the class loses reference to the IE object inside the class.

2. Navigation happens with another instance of the ie opened and the parent instance is left blank

3. I got over the above problem by instantiating the ie object and doing the navigation together in one sub- that atleast got the navigation to happen in the same window.

4. No events (not even) before Navigate fires

Note: None of this happens on a 32bit XP with office 2003. Is this an issue with running office as a 32 bit application on the 64bit machine?

thanks

regards

Hello Rahul,

This issue looks like is realted to marshalling data across 2 32 bit applications in a 64 bit environmnet.

The IE is 32 bit (I confirmed that the IE evoked is a 32 bit one and not a 64 bit one). Office 2003 is 32 bit- so we have a case where data is being accessed by these 2 32 bit apps, while executing in a 64 bit environmnet.

Grrrrrrrrreat!!!  Thank you so much.

I was using "sendkeys ^T" in vba, ain't do anything.

Hi,

I have problem in navigating a page in IE7 (works perfectly in IE6).

Here is the code on button click.  It opens a new window in IE6. In IE7, it opens a new window but URL is opening in 2nd tab. In First tab it says connecting. but loads properly in second tab. I tried setting all my tab option in Tools-options.

can some one help me here?

          Dim browser As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer

       Dim o = Nothing

       Dim findurl = "http://www.google.com"

       browser = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer

       browser.Navigate(findurl, o, "gps_map", o, o)

thanks! just what i was looking for.

Hi,

If you want to navigate an IE page on Vista, follow these simple step:

1) Open Internet Explorer.

2) Open Tools --> Internet Options --> Security Tab

3) Unselect the protected mode at the bottom of the pane.

4) Click OK and close the Internet Explorer.

Try again running your program. No new window will be opened this time.

Note : Your security may be at risk with this.

If you find this useful, send me an email at mr.ankurgarg@rediffmail.com

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Though I am not a technical person but find your post to be quite informative and impressive.

I would like to share a link where a software engineer of my company has shared a tip on "Programmatically open new tabs in IE 7 using VB".

Here is the link:

Hope you find it useful and of assistance.

Thanks,
