Strange Behavior shdocvw.dll

[jkostenbader]

Without being able to provide you with a lick of code, I'd like to be
able to present you with a problem that I can get some general feedback
from:

A current Dephi application uses shdocvw.dll to wrap a nice browser
into its functionality. If an end user enters a website that requires
credentials of some sort generating a nonpersistant session cookie and
susequently clicks on a link that would normally spawn a new window
shdocvw.dll seems to treat that link as another instance of IE rather
than a child window. The result is that the end user is required to
re-enter their credentials. Hopefully this makes sense....if there are
questions I'm missing I'd like to have an ongoing dialog.

I guess the bottom line question is...its is possible to retain that
session cookie (thereby keeping the credentials) using shdocvw.dll

Regards

John

Hi,

You could try to handle the NewWindow2 event.

Also, have a look at http://www.vbwm.com/art_2001/IE05/ and
