popup IE window from outlook 12.0

T

TMJNSK

We have created an outlook addin, in which clicking a button an IE
window is popped

up. We use the InternetExplorer.Navigate2() method to popup the new
window which is

present in the Interop.SHDocVw dll. The window opens "always on top"
with Outlook

2003 and IE6 or 7 provided the Microsoft Outlook 11.0 object library
(9.2) .

We are in the process of migration to Outlook 2007 and we included
Microsoft Outlook

12.0 object library 12.0.4518.1014 to build the solution. No code
change on the

Navigation part. But we see a different behaviour. Its always
displayed as minimized

blinking window in the taskbar. The end users have to explicitly click
the minimized

tab to bring the window to the foreground.



Here is the code sample



Private Sub btnAttachToDIAMSXe_Click(ByVal ctrl As CommandBarButton,
ByRef cancel As

Boolean)

....................

Dim ieCtrl As New InternetExplorer

....................

....................

....................

ieCtrl.Navigate2("http://localhost/....", 1, "DIAMSXe External
Interface",

postData, postHeader)

ieCtrl.Visible = True

....................

End Sub



Does anyone have any idea why the popup window appears minimized with
the Office

2007 and IE7 combination ? or is there a better way of

popping up a window through outlook addins.

microsoft.public.outlook.program_addins would be the correct newsgroup,
then.
