| WBPidlNav: How to navigate the
WebBrowser control using a folder's pidl Ever wanted to navigate the IE4 WebBrowser control to a local system folder that has no path? How about the Desktop or Network Neighborhood virtual folders? This example simply demonstrates how to obtain a specified special folder's pidl (pointer to an item ID list) from the SHGetSpecialFolderLocation API, obtain the region in memory that pidl's data resides, copy the pidl's data to a VB allocated byte array, and finally navigate the WebBrowser to specified special folder by passing the byte array in a VB Variant variable (creating a SAFEARRAY) to the WebBrowser's Navigate2 method.. For more information on the WebBrowser's Navigate2 method
and SAFEARRAYs, see MS KB article ID Q167834 "HOWTO: Web Browser Navigation Using a
PIDL" (included) |
