Ie?

[noob_vb]

Im trying to open up an internet explorer browser at a specific url,
easy you say? well perhaps, but each browser window needs a different session/cookie and this code:

Dim objIE As InternetExplorer
Set objIE = New InternetExplorer

objIE.Visible = True
objIE.Navigate2 "http://www.vbforums.com"

Do While objIE.Busy = True
    DoEvents
Loop

MsgBox objIE.Document.URL

Set objIE = Nothing

Doesnt work
i also want to be able to grab the status of the browser and display its location/value in a label, is this possible? or am i just completely mental? also is it possible too look for specific text in source code? lol, i havent seen any code like it in the code bank, if someone could point me to one that be great
Thanks Alot For Your Help :'-(

I dont know exactly what your goal is. To open the default browser use

Shell Environ("comspec") & " /c Start http://google.com", vbMaximizedFocus

To use IE use this code

Dim IE As Object
                    Set IE = CreateObject("Internetexplorer.application")
                    IE.Navigate "http://google.com"
                    IE.Visible = True

Well if you use IE as an object you're going to get one IE process and multiple threads. If you need a cookie / session ID for each one you have to use Shell / ShellExecute to create separate processes which won't share the cookie / session ID.

I'm not sure but I don't believe you can get all those properties back from IE if you have launched it using a shell command as opposed to an object.

Code for finding IE's path and executing in separate process is in the CodeBank link below.

Why dont you just use the Webbrowser Control?...

Here is a sample program that I found on the web that gives you access to all IE instances on your machine. I have been putzing with a few apps using it and am very impressed for my applications.

( Sorry to the author of the project. I don't know who he/she is, but the code isn't mine )
