The WebBrowser class in .NET is a WRAPPER for the IE COM object. In order to supply this functionality, you'd have to write your own web browser class, supplying all the HTML rendering code, but does not wrap the IE COM control, which is entirely possible. Just creating a new class, inheriting from the existing WebBrowser class, will not allow you to do what you want, since you're inheriting from the WebBrowser class, you're also inheriting the COM object that it wraps.

Perhaps you could first download the content you want to display in a separate thread, then set it into the control? /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

In C++, you only need to include the required head file and call the API. In other languages like VB/C#, you need to use P/Invoke. Read up on using P/Invoke with VB/C# and you should be able to figure out how to do it.

Thanks so much for the response! I'm not very familiar with C++ functions. I know that SendMessage or PostMessage have many versions (all accept different parameters), but I have no experience in using them. I know how to get the handle of a window/dialog (HWND), and pass the message constant WM_CLOSE, etc., but I'm not sure how to get the class of a text box, hence don't know how to loop through them. Is EnumWindows a function? And how do I use it? That below is what I think I'm most iffy about: ****************************************************************** -Loop through the text boxes inside IM (if more text boxes exists). -When ever you get the text box from where you want to retrive the text return TRUE from callback to terminate the enumeration. (one possible approach to compare the text boxes is compare class name) -EnumWindows must return you the HWND to (desired) text box. ****************************************************************** Could you please write me an example on how I would do that? THANKS!!

I appreciate you giving me that example, but I don't understand it. I'm not very familiar with C++. If you are, could you write me an example of how I would use that. Thanks!!!

I'm not sure if you understand exactly what I mean: When you send a WebRequest to a server/website it checks the request (if it is correct - has the correct parameters - username/password) it sends you a response depeding on that. When that website requires password/username login it doesn't take you to that page but instead to a login page. The information your browser sends is the same as the information the WebRequest object does. When you have entered the login info in the web browser and press a button it still sends a request to the server with the right info and the server lets you in - it (the WebRequest object) sends a request and gets a response from the server, it doesn't send the button object or anything like that so the button pressing is not essential to sending that request. Amazing so many programmers and no one knows an aswer to my question.
