I know that when you create an object, you can also assign event-handlers to
it, as follows:

var IE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application","IE_")

...but I don't know how to assign event-handlers to an already-running
instance. For example, how would I assign a BeforeNavigate2 event handler to
an IE object gained through the following code?

var ie1=new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application").Windows(0);

Also, I note the Michael Harris states (in another message) that setting
Cancel to true won't work in the event handler (scripts aren't strongly
typed). Is there any other way I could cancel the event?

Thanks in advance,
Grant Husbands.

The WScript.ConnectObject is meant to do what you're trying to do.  But IE is one of the objects
that it doesn't work with (see the Remarks section in the ConnectObject documentation).

You might want to check out ScriptX from MeadCo - it should be able to do what you want (see the
ScriptX docs for the NewEventSink method).
