It's not simple
IE8 use multiple processes to display html content
So, You have to load your extension in each process, sync between them and choose, which activate
And what is Your criterias to activate the specific tab ?

Hi,
In Fact, my extension is already working in IE8, and indeed loading in each process. My extension loads its own dedicated tab, which I need to activate once the user searched for something via the dedicated search box. I know which tab is it, I have the HWND, but can't make it the active one when I want it to be. I've tried using accessibility, message sending, various Windows api...
Any ideas?
