following:-

Minimise the application.
Right click in a text box of a Web page dipalyed in an external instance of
internet explorer and display a conetxmenu from my application.
Selet an option on the Contextmenu that will allow me to paste text into a

Paul,

If you are using 2003 you can use the axwebbrowser for that, however in a
way I never have used. Maybe is this page bellow a good starting point for
you, shortly looking to it was it something I thought that you were looking
for.

I hope this helps,

Thanks Cor,

I suppose I could use the axwebbrowser control and tehn maybe I could use my
own context menu, I have used this control in the past. The other 'fix'
that I thought of to this was to copy my text first to clipboard and then
just get the user to paste this into the box. Many thanks as ever.
