How do I Size Internet Explorer Window Programically?

Hi,

I am making a tool that opens several URLs in different Internet Explorer Instances; Internet Explore does not automatically resize to full-screen so I need to do this programically; How does one do this in Visual Basic? I have Java code that does what I want (see below), but I need a solution that I can put inside a VB application;

Thank you!

–Llyal

(Java Code)
window.open(url, name, ‘left=’left’,top=’top’,width=’width’,height=’height’,toolbar=’toolbar_str’,menubar=’menubar_str’,status=’statusbar_str’,scrollbars=’scrollbar_str’,resizable=’resizable_str);

How about a little API education?

Check out SetWindowPlacement. You get the handle for the window using GetWindow

Lost?

(Maybe you can break that really long line for better Lounge viewing…)

Add a reference to the webvw 1.0 Type Library. You then can do something like this:

'pop open browser windows for the frameset
Dim myBrowser As New InternetExplorer
With myBrowser
    .Navigate strPath & "jfsIndex.htm"
    .Visible = True
    .FullScreen = False
    .Width = your setting here in pixels
    .Height = your setting here in pixels
    .Refresh
End With

For documentation, well, I haven’t found any, other than the limited information in the object browser.
