We have created an outlook addin, in which clicking a button an IE window is
popped up. We use the InternetExplorer.Navigate2() method to popup the new window which is present in the Interop.SHDocVw dll. The window opens "always on top" with Outlook 2003 and IE6 or 7 provided the Microsoft Outlook 11.0 object library (9.2) . We are in the process of migration to Outlook 2007 and we included Microsoft Outlook 12.0 object library 12.0.4518.1014 to build the solution. No code change on the Navigation part. But we see a different behaviour. Its always displayed as minimized blinking window in the taskbar. The end users have to explicitly click the minimized tab to bring the window to the foreground. Here is the code sample Private Sub btnAttachToDIAMSXe_Click(ByVal ctrl As CommandBarButton, ByRef cancel As Boolean) .................... Dim ieCtrl As New InternetExplorer .................... .................... .................... ieCtrl.Navigate2("http://localhost/....", 1, "DIAMSXe External Interface", postData, postHeader) ieCtrl.Visible = True .................... End Sub Does anyone have any idea why the popup window appears minimized with the Office 2007 and IE7 combination ? or is there a better way of popping up a window through outlook addins. |

I usually don't limit things to IE, I try to use the default browser if
there is one. I get that using the following C# code, then I start the browser with the URL: RegistryKey key = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(@"HTTP\shell\open\ command", false); string browser = key.GetValue(null).ToString().ToLower().Replace("\ "", ""); if ((!browser.EndsWith("exe") { browser = browser.Substring(0, browser.LastIndexOf(".exe") + 4); } Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.FileName = browser; p.StartInfo.Arguments = url; // url is where we want to go p.Start(); This snippet of course has no exception handling, which should be added. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Thanks for the response.
Our product purely support IE, No other browser. If we use eCtrl.Navigate2, it opens IE and the current process will not wait for anything and it will be free. If we use Process(), will current process be free after calling p.start()? |

If I understand what you're asking the browser window opens non-modally and
your code continues as does the user interface. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

That you'd have to ask in an IE group.
