popup blocking

Well, I've declared
Dim WithEvents objExp as InternetExplorer
Dim Sws as ShDocVw.ShellWindows
Dim objIE as ShDocVw.InternetExplorer

Then I code this
For Each objIE In Sws
Set ObjExp = objIE
Next

In the NewWindow2 event of objExp

Cancel = True

If u read through this code, u'll know that I am looping through
all IE windows and check for their events.

Unfortunately, there might be a time where while my code is
checking one IE's event, another IE's event has fired and ended
gracefully, and by the time I check for this IE's event, I can't
detect the event if it's fired. Because the event has already fired
and ended but my code can't check if it's fired yet since the event
has already ended.

So, I was thinking if I can Dim WithEvents an array of IE objects.
But apparently it won't work, and so I hope anybody can help
me in detecting all IE's event simultaneously.

Thanks

This seems to be working

Thanks for your kind help, but it didn't work.
I've thought of using Class, but I am quite unfamiliar with Class

Your code adds new IE hwnd all the time, but its the same with
my method.
It checks one IE event at one time, because you loops through
them and set your class to point to that IE.
As mentioned earlier, there might be a time where while you're
setting this IE's hwnd to point to the class, another IE has fired
the NewWindow2 event and ended without u knowing it.

Pls?

Have you tried it? I'm not that sure about what you say.

I'm not adding new hwnd all the time. I'm only creating a new object and set it to the new IE opened. So, I could have 4, 5, 6 (whatever) objects loaded in memory, each one "pointing" to one IE. So, if each object worked as it should it, all the events should be fired. I'd dare say that my method is much different from yours (excluding the main code, which was your idea)

well,u're right, but it didn't work for me.

Ah, I've figured out the problem.
I am running a few instances of IE, and the IE I was testing
is the last one. I use www.cheatcc.com/frames.html to test it.
Apparently your code doesn't add(or detect?) the last instance,
so the popup pops. So, in conclusion, ur code actually works!

Actually, u're genius, ur code runs great, just buggy ;) hehe

I might have improved the code somehow.... because I can kill the popup (of that page) if I wanted to.

Oh,that'll be great.
U've somehow introduced me to class programming and solved
my biggest problem.
Indeed, class is great.

What do u mean by killing the popup?
Isn't it Cancel = True in the NewWindow2 event?

Do u mean those pesky banners such as those contained inside
a website like Geocities?

I meant not to leave the popup live ---> kill the popup (don't open it)

I don't think it would work with the banners of Geocities.

Sure it won't work with Geocities's banners
How about getting the HTML code off that particular IE object and
search for the banner code and remove it and then refresh the
whole thing?

You can not "refresh" because it would download the whole html again. You should download, erase all the javascript that creates the banner and load this edited html. BTW.... I've not the clueless idea how to do it. Besides, each single page will have a different way to "pops" their banners.

In the first place, by refreshing I mean refresh the edited HTML.
For checking the banner codes, u've to code an intelligent
search engine to search for the banner codes.

AdsGone can block the banners, right?
I'ven't try it, but I think this app also uses this same approach
