If you didn't start the instance in your calling thread (and even if you did for IE) If you don't use C++ DLLS to control another application then you will NOT be able to do this....

The problem you have is that you can get the

hWnd of the IEFrameClass

you cannot get however the

ObjPtr to the object...

If you could then you might be able to try to hack it into an IE object, using CopyMemory e.t.c but this would probably (definitely) fail because you don't own the process......


Bottom Line....

If you don't own it you can't take it over (subclass it - reroute the windows messages before they are handled)....without C++ jiggery pokery.....the most (pretty much) you can do is SendMessage's to it.....
