Open browser window

[Markus Stehle]

Hi all!

From a console or windows forms application I open a new browser window by
using Process.Start("htttp://www.google.com")

If there is already an open browser window, the requested page is loaded
into that already existing window and is replacing the currently displayed
content. Is it possible to always open a new browser window? Also, can I set
the window size (as with JavaScript window.open())?


Thanks

Markus

For a new window, try

Process.Start("iexplore.exe", "http://www.google.com");

It sounds more like you want a popup rather than a full new browser process. Just a thought, and may not be a perfect solution for your application but....

Add a new form to your project that has nothing in it except the AxWebBrowser control and set some initial values for it and save it. Then in your main app, instantiate a New object reference of that form, and before calling newform.show() adjust the parameters like size of the window and the AxWebBrowser control etc.

See attached text file with code snips.
