本文讲述在Windows Forms应用中使用IE控件的相关内容。作者开发简单Windows Forms应用浏览SharePoint Portal Server 2003层级，需右侧用浏览器控件显示HTML信息。介绍了封装IE Active - X控件的类及使用代码，还给出解决文本框等控件样式问题的方法。

Using IE within a Windows Forms application

Changed this blog posting into an article. It's just too long for a post, and might be handy to keep around...

Everytime I'm busy with something I think: hmmm, would be nice to share this.. but one way or the other the time just isn't there. I will try harder...

I'm working on a simple windows forms app to browse some of the hierarchies of SharePoint Portal Server 2003, and besides a tree control on the left side I needed a browser control at the right side to display some detail information in HTML. Of course you can add the Internet Explorer dll shdocvw.dll to the toolbox so a wrapper is generated... but there are some problems left like what values to pass for all those parameters and how do I handle events that are raised.

One of the .Net world famous programmers Lutz Roeder, developer of Reflector (http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet) did write a class encapsulating the Internet Explorer Active-X control that is used in Reflector. Although he did not publish the source code (as far as I know), this file came on the web one way or the other. I found it at the following link:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=%23%2487PZ4pBHA.1860%40tkmsftngp04&rnum=8

The code follows below, together with some code how to use it....

And now some example code describing how to use it... I created a window with a tree control at the left, the Internet Explorer at the right and a splitter in the middle so the controls can be resized dynamically...

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Threading;

using Reflector.Library;

namespace SPS2Admin
{
 /// 
 /// Summary description for SPS2Admin.
 /// 
 public class SPS2Admin : System.Windows.Forms.Form
 {
  /// 
  /// An Internet Explorer embedded browser instance is used for displaying detail information.
  /// 
  private HtmlBrowser _htmlBrowser;

  /// 
  /// The tree for navigating SPS structures.
  /// 
  private TreeView spsTree;

  private System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu mainMenu;
  private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItemFile;
  private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItemView;
  private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItemFileConnect;
  private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItemFileExit;
  private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItemViewWebs;
  private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItemCurrentCredentials;
  private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItemCreateProgram;
  private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuItemNavigator;
  /// 
  /// Required designer variable.
  /// 
  private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

  public SPS2Admin()
  {
   //
   // Required for Windows Form Designer support
   //
   InitializeComponent();

   _htmlBrowser = new HtmlBrowser();
   _htmlBrowser.Parent = this;
   _htmlBrowser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

   Splitter split = new Splitter();
   split.Parent = this;
   split.Dock = DockStyle.Left;
   split.BackColor = SystemColors.Control;

   spsTree = new TreeView();
   spsTree.Parent = this;
   spsTree.Dock = DockStyle.Left;

   _htmlBrowser.Navigate("http://www.macaw.nl");
  }
  :
  :
 }
}

I did display only some relevant part of the code... this should do the job, no "design time" control, but hey.. who needs that!

Update:
I got a solution from Julien CHEYSSIAL to resolve the problem concerning controls like textbox,
combobox which were displayed with the old looking style while using the WebBrowser in a Windows Form application. You have to add this meta in the head section of your pages : <META HTTP-EQUIV="MSThemeCompatible" Content="Yes">. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnie60/html/whatsnewpublicpreview.asp and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/userex/cookbook.asp for more info.
