Main Window as WebBrowser for WM 5.0 [modified]

I want to be able to create and control a web browser on a smart phone running Windows Mobile 5.0.

If I create a new non-dialog based project under VS C++, 2005 I get a single main window created when I start the (empty) application.

Is it possible to add an address bar to this window, use it as a web browser and control it using the IWebBrowser2 interface?

I've tried doing it using the following code, but nothing happens (all the code works fine, no errors, but nothing appears on the display)

hr = CoInitializeEx (NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);

if (hr == S_OK) {
hr = CoCreateInstance (CLSID_WebBrowser, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER | CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER, IID_IWebBrowser2, (LPVOID *)&m_pBrowser);

if (hr == S_OK) {
// make the browser visible
VARIANT_BOOL pBool=true;
m_pBrowser->put_Visible(pBool);

COleVariant vaURL(_T("http://www.hotmail.com")) ;
COleVariant null;
m_pBrowser->Navigate2(vaURL,null,null,null,null) ;
}
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Ta!

m_pBrowser->Navigate2(vaURL,null,null,null,null) ;

i think u have to specify where it has to show the page(third variable should be target window name)

Thanks, I will try, but I think the problem is more to do with the IWebBrowser2 interface that is returned from the CoCreateInstance call because now I realise even the put_Visible call fails (returns E_FAIl).

I think that what is being returned from CoCreateInstance is not a valid IWebBrowser2 interface.

//Create the control window
if(!CreateControl(CLSID_WebBrowser, NULL, WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD,
rect,pWnd,AFX_IDW_PANE_FIRST))
{
m_pBrowserApp=NULL;
DestroyWindow();
}
LPUNKNOWN lpUnk = GetControlUnknown();
HRESULT hr = lpUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**)
&m_pBrowserApp);
if(!SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
m_pBrowserApp = NULL;
DestroyWindow();
}

If I use the code exactly as you have it there I get and ASSERT error occsite.cpp (line 1067) where it checks that the window is not already attached.

If I create a new window (CWnd* m_pWin = new CWnd ();) and use that one, nothing appears on the mobile emulator screen and no errors occur.

If I compile it for a win32 desktop app it works fine.

I'm beginning to think that there is something missing in the WM 5.0 OS

Yes, I have that, but it uses ATL and not easy to translate into something not using ATL.
