Thanks, I think I've almost got it. I'm actually pretty close to what you describe already. I already have A IDocHostUIHandler assigned with setuihandler. I made an interface with my method, and my form inherits from both IDocHostUIHandler and IMyInterface. I loaded a page that has a script tag with:
window.external.causeShift();
and all I have causeShift doing in my (extended) Form is Console.Writeline("wohoo");
What happens is, I just a get a javascript error: "window.external is null or not an object".
I think somewhere don't I need to connect up imyinterface with the ICustomDoc? I know I'm doing for IDocHostUIHandler as you said (and I know it's working because I have error handlers printing to console for it), but what do I do with imyinterface?
Thanks very much King Rufus,

I think I'm figuring out the gap between your instructions and what I'm doing wrong:
My definition of ICustomDoc is like this:
public interface ICustomDoc
{
[PreserveSig]
void SetUIHandler(IDocHostUIHandler pUIHandler);
}
Is that bad?
So when I call SetUIHandler I have to cast my Form ("this") into an IDocHostUIHandler. It works fine, and I can trap events through the IDocHostUIHandler. In your instructions you said to just pass it "this". So you see what I'm saying, because I have to do the cast, my ICustomDoc has no knowledge of IMyInterface.
How should I change my definition of SetUIHandler so that I can just give it my form? Seems to me from reading the docs on SetUIHandler, that it only accepts an IDocHostUIHandler, so I don't think I can interop my way out of this bag. I tried to make it just accept "object" and then pass it my Form ("this") but that didn't work.

Here is my code for ICustomDoc
[ComImport(), InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown),
GuidAttribute("3050f3f0-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b")]
public interface ICustomDoc
{
[PreserveSig] void SetUIHandler(IDocHostUIHandler pUIHandler);
}
I make this call in my 'NavigateComplete2' event handler. That code looks like this:
private void StartPage_NavigateComplete2(object sender, AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_NavigateComplete2Event e)
{
AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser wb = (AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser)sender;
IHTMLDocument2 hDoc = (IHTMLDocument2)wb.Document;
((ICustomDoc)hDoc).SetUIHandler((IDocHostUIHandler)this);
}
Let me know if that does it for you.

No, it still doesn't work, I get the same javascript error.
I guess fundamentally I don't understand how it even could work this way. I don't understand how the JS even could call a method in IMyInterface. How can it see it? We glued IDocHostUIHandler to the page, but that interface doesn't have my IMyInterface methods. How could the JS see IMyInterface methods. I don't get it. There has to be someplace where I pass IMyInterface to ICustomDoc or something right?
thanks tho

Give me a couple of days here. I'll try to throw together a simple DEMO application and if I have enough time I'll even throw it out there as an article. I know that this doesn't help you right now but there is a way for this to work. I guarantee since it's a major piece of an app I've done for one client and will be for my current one.
Sometimes I need prompting so if you don't hear from me by Wednesday please give me a shout. I would send you code now but it's way to big. (and currently doesn't belong to me.)
Let me know if this will work for you.

King Rufus,
I see it has been more than a couple of days. 
I am interested in your sample application as well. I have a need to do just this thing in my next application.

Bog,
I got to the same point that you did. I have IDocHostUIHandler implemented as well as ICustomDoc and my IPageClickHandler interface. I am also getting the 'not an instance of an object' error from my javascript.
I pulled my test page into VS7 and it does not expose a window.external method within the window object.
Did you figure out how to bind the javascript to the external interface? King Rufus seems to have fallen off the face of the earth and is not responding.

I've created a manifest and used flatstyle.system to get XP look and feel, but does anyone know how to get the XP downarrow onto the button (look and feel of the combobox button) or secondly a bit map (flatstyle.system ignores bitmaps)
Thanks

Hi,
Why don't you wrap some of the functions of the uxTheme.dll.
Then you will be able to draw any part of the themed stuff yourself.
If you want I can supply you some API's (there in VB though, but that shouldn't be the problem is it?)

Does anyone know of a class for creating a standard click and drag select box?
This seems like it should be readily available but I can't seem to find it.
if not that, does anyone know how to draw with a pen or a brush that will show the inverse color of whatever is behind it?
thanks

There are some methods in System.Windows.Forms.ControlPaint that look as though they might be useful (DrawReversibleFrame, DrawReversibleLine, FillReversibleRectangle), but I haven't tried them.

Has anyone succeeded in spawning a modeless dialog that stays on top of the main form, but that does not just stay on top of every window in the shell? That is, behaviour identical to Find/Replace dialogs in VS and Office.
In C++ this is routine, but in .Net I have failed when:
1) Setting dialog's TopLevel to false, and making dialog a child of main form. This only allows rendering the dialog within the client area of the main form, of course, since it is treated as a non-form child control.
2) Using Win32 API SetParent() and SetWindowPos() directly. The dialog freezes and paints garbage. CLR does not recognise Windows' way of setting parent-child relationships, I suspect, and proper message handling requires the dialog to be in the parent's collection.
I am investigating some wild hacks, but would appreciate it if anyone has insights on this.
TIA

Not sure if it's the right way, but the following works for me: Set the dialog's ShowInTaskBar property false, and after creating the dialog (in some method of the main form) call MainForm.AddOwnedForm(DialogForm).

Thank you Chris, that's exactly what the doctor ordered It's a pleasure to have contributors such as yourself on CP.
Incredible that I overlooked that in the docs; probably scanned the protected methods too quickly, and got lost in keyword searches!

I am trying to get an assembly compiled using the managed compiler and get the resulting class library strong named.
First I tried an explicite path to the file in the assembly. No go. 
Now: the assembly info states that the strong name key must be relative to the project location....so I created the location in the assembly file as ..\..\keyfilename.snk and tried to have it find it.
I first tried just locating the strong name key file within the source files and then in the bin file and in both cases the key file is reported as not found by the compiler.
So next I added the path to my source in the /lib: switch for the compiler. This still ended with file not found.
Has ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) anyone gotten a strong named compilation using the managed compiler and how did you get it to find the snk file ??? 
I am at wits end. 
Thanks,
MJ

Is it that simple a problem?

Robert,
I was shothanding here.
if ..\.. was actually entered into the assemblyinfo file, it would fail with a compile error and never attempt to compile the dll since \. is an invalid control character.

Just put every thing in the same directory and change the assembly.cs file to point to the current directory.
I rated this article 2 by mistake. It deserves more. I wanted to get to the second page... - vjedlicka 3:33 25 Nov '02

lippie,
I had put the snKey file, and source files in one directory, and set
[assembly:AssemblyKeyFile("")] to the same directory name.
RESULT: key file could not be found
I had put the snKey file and source files in one directory and set
[assembly:AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\keyfile.snk")]
RESULT: key file could not be found
I had put the snKey file in the build directory and set the
[assembly:AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\\\keyfile.snk")]
RESULT: key file could not be found
I had put the snKey file in the build directory and directly pointed at
the build directory
RESULT: key file could not be found
I added a compile parameter /lib:"my souce library path"
RESULT: key file could not be found
I am about to put a shotgun in the mouth of the compiler and let it try and find it's brains after I pull the trigger !!!!!
I suspect that the little tidbit in AssemblyInfo where it goes after
%Project Directory%\obj\<configuration> that I am either
a) not getting %Project Directory% set
or b) I am still missing a directive to the compiler (which still goes back to a).

I finally got the managed compiler to create a strong named assembly.
What I had to do was as follows:
1) I did a File.Copy to move the SN Key from the selected directory to the
source directory. This was my choice but not necessary.
2) Instead of setting [AssemblyKeyName...]
I had to set [AssemblyKeyFile... and specified the fully qualified path.
[AssemblyKeyFile="D:\myApp\mySource\keyF.snk"]
3) Compile to your hearts content!!!! WOOHOO!

I want my program to be able to find a specified window, activate it, and send it keyboard commands. Kind of like a macro program. How would I code this?

Have a look at the WSH sendkeys functionality.
Not the only way though...
