WebBrowser control and cookies [RESOLVED]

I have an app that contains a WebBrowser control. The app navigates the WebBrowser to a login page, fills out the login form and submits it. That works fine.

The problem is, is that once I'm logged into the website in order to use a certain feature of it, it launches a second browser window which is, of course, Internet Explorer. I don't mind that it launches a second independent browser but I don't believe the cookies are moving to the new browser window and I'm prompted to log back in all over again. This happens on a couple of different sites.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

I believe there was a thread like this one a couple of weeks back. If I recall well, he tried a lot but didn't solve the problem. The easiest solution I can come up with is not letting the Web Browser control open up a new window, but having the new URL launch in the control itself. Would that work for you? :)

Hmm... that might work... do you think it would work by launching it into my own Form with another browser instead?

Hmm, I doubt it; though it could work. This code opens the url in an instance of frmBrowser. Try it out and let me know. :)

VB Code:

Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow2(ppDisp As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim frm As frmBrowser
Set frm = New frmBrowser
Load frm
Set ppDisp = frm.WebBrowser1
frm.Show
Set frm = Nothing
End Sub

The new form and browser launch okay, but the browser doesn't seem to be navigating to the page specified by the link. I just get a blank browser window. Is there other code to make the new browser window go where it is supposed to?

EDIT: I must say though, that if I manually navigate the browser to the link by doing frm.WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.secure.com" that the "cookies" do appear to be travelling to the new browser window properly. If I could have it navigate there automatically that'd be great.

Okay I think I got it. I changed :

Set ppDisp = frm.WebBrowser1

to

Set ppDisp = frm.WebBrowser1.object

and that did the trick.

Thanks for your help. I should be able to work with this just fine.
