1. start IE if it isn't already up

2. supply a url to IE

3. copy the output returned by IE for use within the plug-in

I want to give the plug-in the ability to do this automatically by
clicking a menu item.  Creating the menu item, and constructing the
http string for IE is simple.  That kind of stuff I've done already,
but I'm way over my head in launcihing IE and picking up it's output.
However, I have no time constraints, and I hope to learn a great deal
just trying this.

I'm reading through Microsoft's MFC documentatin starting with
CHtmlStream and ending with CHttpServerContext.

My first question is: am I at least reading in the right place to do
what I want.

Second question: can anyone recommend a text or on-line available
source dealing with what I'm trying to do:

Finally, if anyone has any code snippets that can help me, they will
be much appreciated.

Also, I guess, I'm uncertain if this is the correct newsgroup for such
a question.

Thanks in advance,

Terry Liittschwager

IF your goal is to get the content using IE(actuall IWebBrowser2), you dont
really need to automate IE. use MSHTML instead or you can go bare bones and
use CHTTPConnection etc.
