Hi all,

I'm writing an app to interact with web pages in VB6. I figure it would be easier to interact with the Web Browser Control in a form rather than working with handles and SendKey.

I know the Web Browser Control is based on Internet Explorer 3.0, which is 4 versions ago. I also know the control uses the same history as the current version (actually the last time I checked was 6.x, but I've no reason to suspect otherwise) so I know there is interaction between the two.

The Question: Can I expect the Web Browser Control to have access and use of the 'modern' plug-ins (such as the latest Flash, for example)?

The pages I'll be interacting with are pretty much kept state-of-the-art.

If not, opinions please on whether VB 2005 will be a better choice. I know VB.NET like I know Aramaic, so there will be a steep learning curve which we'll all eventually need to take.

I realize I’m posting to the Classic Visual Basic forum, so I do expect some bias.

Thanks!!!
