Manage new window from MS WebBrowser control

[Lizard]

Hi,

I have a WinForms application written in C#, in which I am using an
embedded Microsoft WebBrowser ActiveX control. Based on certain
events, I need to open a window from the browser control, something
like (in javascript) -
window.open("http://www.google.com,"","top=0,left=0,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,width=790,height=550")

What is an elegant way of doing this? I currently, get the Document
object of the browser and cast it to type IHTMLDocument2 and then use
its "open" method. For example,

IHTMLDocument2 id = (IHTMLDocument2) AxWebBrowser.Document;
id.open (sURL, "", "top=0,left=0,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,width=790,height=550",
true);

Second and more important question - How do I close the window that I
just spawned from the control, when I exit my application? It does not
automatically close the window when I close the application.

Thanks in advance,
August

The open() method of the IHTMLDocument2 interface will return an
IHTMLDocument2 interface to the newly created window. You can use that
interface to close the new window on app exit.

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, that is not a valid cast. The open() method of the
IHTMLDocument2 interface returns an object of type "object". When I
try to cast that to IHTMLDocument2, I get a "Cast not valid"
exception.

Any other ideas?
