Refresh IE

[Nathan]

Hi,

I'd want to be able to control an instance of Internet Explorer from a VB
app. I'd particularly like to refresh the page shown. Is there a way to do
this?

Thanks,
Nathan

Without calling unmanaged code, you can use the COM Microsoft Internet
Controls library to create an IE instance and control it. If the IE window
is already opened, then you would have to call unmanaged code to control it.
This is the only way I know how.... In the library you call:

dim IE as new shdocvw.internetexplorer
ie.navigate(address)
ie.refresh

I believe this is all that is required, but it might be Slightly
different.... Hope this helps!

It should be possible to use SendKeys to pass an f5 ro the IE instance.
