Hello,
I'm building a windows application, and I need to catch the open Microsoft
Internet Explorer events (e.g. changed url, new browser window opened,
current active browser, etc.) - Can anyone assist me with that? I managed to
know the location url of the open browsers by doing the following:
using SHDocVw;
......

foreach (InternetExplorer ie in new ShellWindows())
{
string url = ie.LocationURL;
}

......

But that's it, I don't know how to continue from here (and if this is the
direction...), any ideas?

Appreciate all the help I can get.

TIA,

- Tal.

According to my MSDN, that InternetExplorer object has a bunch of events:

BeforeNavigate Fires before navigation occurs in the given object (on
either a window or frameset element).
BeforeNavigate2 Fires before navigation occurs in the given object (on
either a window or frameset element).
CommandStateChange Fires when the enabled state of a command changes.
DocumentComplete Fires when a document has been completely loaded and
initialized.
DownloadBegin Fires when a navigation operation is beginning.
DownloadComplete Fires when a navigation operation finishes, is
halted, or fails.
FileDownload Fires to indicate that a file download is about to occur.
If a file download dialog is to be displayed, this event is fired prior to
the display of the dialog.
NavigateComplete Fires after a navigation to a link is completed on
either a window or frameSet element.
NavigateComplete2 Fires after a navigation to a link is completed on
either a window or frameSet element.

NewWindow2 with additional information about the new window.

destroyed.

privacy or when a user navigates away from a URL that has impacted privacy.
ProgressChange Fires when the progress of a download operation is
updated on the object.

the value of a property.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your quick response.
I familiar with some of these events, but I still don't know how to catch
them from my windows application form, and how to catch the specific event
on a specific open browser (if I have some open browsers).
I sure do need some assistance with that.
Thanks,
- Tal.
