Internet Explorer

How do I use IE with VB?

I need to write a browser program with IE functionality, and I want to avoid the Internet control.

Add a reference to Microsoft Internet Controls and then you can use something like this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim i As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Set i = New InternetExplorer
i.Visible = True
i.Navigate "http://www.altavista.com"
End Sub

There are a lot of stuff you can do. Explore them using the object browser.

I had tried a similar approach, only the object i was declared as InternetExplorer and not as SHDocVW.InternetExplorer.

The subsequent efforts of creating a new instance of the IE failed, probably because of the declaration.

Thanks for the tip. I shall try it out and let you know if it worked or not.
