How do I make my program take IE5 to a webSite??

[Dayo312]

Im trying to focus
on the combobox to type in
a webaddress and go there..

The Classnames are..

ieframe
rebarwindow32
combobox
edit

I tried to get focused on rebarwindow32
but it would do it.. what am I doing wrong??

Is there a easier way??

The code im using..

------

Dim hwnd As Long
Dim Bar As Long
hwnd& = FindWindow("ieframe", vbNullString)
Bar& = FindWindowEx(hwnd&, 0&, "rebarwindow32", vbNullString)
If Bar = 0 Then
MsgBox "Couldnt Find ComboBox."
End
Else
MsgBox "Found IT!."
End
End If

------

Help?

I have two codes...but both dont enter anything into the combo box.

Here you go:

(1):

Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

' Here's the function code
'ShellToBrowser(Me,"http://www.site.com",0)
Function ShellToBrowser%(frm As Form, ByVal url$, ByVal WindowStyle%)

Dim api%
api% = ShellExecute(frm.hwnd, "open", url$, "", App.Path, WindowStyle%)

'Check return value
If api% < 31 Then
'error code - see api help for more info
MsgBox App.Title & " had a problem running your web browser. You should check that your browser is correctly installed. (Error #" & Format$(api%) & ")", 48, "Browser Unavailable"
ShellToBrowser% = False
ElseIf api% = 32 Then
'no file association
MsgBox App.Title & " could not find a file association for " & url$ & " on your system. You should check that your browser is correctly installed and associated with this type of file.", 48, "Browser Unavailable"
ShellToBrowser% = False
Else
'It worked!
ShellToBrowser% = True

End If

End Function

Sub OpenDefaultBrowser(frm As Form, url As String, Style As Integer)
'OpenDefaultBrowser(Me,"http://www.site.com",0)
opn% = ShellToBrowser(frm, url, Style)

End Sub

(2):

Public Sub WWWaddress(Address As String)
'// open up the default web browser and send it to a web page address
On Error Resume Next
Dim ReturnVal As Long
ReturnVal& = Shell("Start.exe " & Address$, 1)
End Sub

Hope its somewhat of what your looking for.

or try this

Dim myIE As New InternetExplorer
myIE.Visible = True
myIE.Navigate "http://www.hotmail.com"

You need to add a reference to microsoft Internet COntrols though
