I am trying to get the URL from a given instance of Internet Explorer.
Preferably using C# but whatever works.  I can get the title and handles of
each instance but dont' know how to get the URL of any given instance.

I would GREATLY appreciate an example/clue/etc.  I am on my last nerve over
this  :)

Thanks for your time,

Jim

Hello,

The following is a sample in VB6.

Q176792 HOWTO: Connect to a Running Instance of Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q176792

In the sample, it has the code to determine whether it's an HTML page.
         If TypeOf Doc Is HTMLDocument Then
            'if this is an HTML page, display the title
            'may or may not be the same as LocationName
            List2.AddItem Doc.Title
         End If

If it's an HTML page, you can call Doc.Location to get the URL.

You can do the similar job in .NET.

//be sure to add these
using SHDocVw;
using mshtml;

SHDocVw.ShellWindows SWs = new SHDocVw.ShellWindowsClass();
SHDocVw.InternetExplorer IE = new SHDocVw.InternetExplorerClass();

private System.Windows.Forms.ListBox listBox1;

//foreach window of IE that is running//
foreach (SHDocVw.InternetExplorer IE in SWs)
{
//add the URL to the listbox//
//should do an if statement to weed out any that aren't set to a location//
 listBox1.Items.Add(IE.LocationURL);
