Using the InternetExplorer object in a Managed C++ application
-
Hi all, I am trying to use the InternetExplorer object to automate Internet Explorer from my Managed C++ application; The following is a snippit of C# code that compiles and runs.
using SHDocVw; ............ ............ private SHDocVw.InternetExplorer m_IExplorer = null; .............. ............ .......... m_IExplorer = new SHDocVw.InternetExplorer();However, when I convert it to Managed C++, thus;using namespace SHDocVw; ............ ............ private: SHDocVw::InternetExplorer m_IExplorer; .............. ............ .......... m_IExplorer = new SHDocVw::InternetExplorer();I get the compile error C3153: 'SHDocVw::InternetExplorer' : you cannot create an instance of an interface Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Regards, Chris -

Thank you for that link as well, that sample should come in very handy. Kind Regards, Chris
