David, Class AxHost is used to wrap the WebBrowser ActiveX component. The wrapping process is carried out automatically when you drop the WebBrowser component from the ToolBox onto a form in the Visual Studio Designer. It is unusual to use class AxHost directly (and I haven't had reason to do so yet).
The WebBrowser customizations described in the book are accomplished by a Windows Form (which can easily be replaced by a UserControl) that acts as an IOleClientSite and implements MsHtml customization interfaces, such as IDocHostUIHandler. The book shows the C# implementation of the following Ole interfaces: IOleClientSite, IOleObject, IDocHostUIHandler, IDocHostShowUI and ICustomDoc. --Ted On Mon, 29 Apr 2002 22:26:02 +0100, David Anthoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Oh, one more question: Would your approach still allow me to use >AxHost's default implementation of IOleClientSite, IOleControlSite, >IOleInPlaceSite, IPropertyNotifySink and ISimpleFrameSite that are >implemented in the private class OleInterfaces inside AxHost?
