Techies,

I'm developing a HTML control using ATL ie intended to host in a html
page. I,m new to ATL programming dont have much idea about the HTML
controls.
This is my situation, my control is hosted in html1.htm in OBJECT
tag.This html file and another html(html2.htm), both these kept as
FRAME in another html(html3.htm). I'm trying to get the parent
webbrowser(ie html3.htm) from my control. I need to hide the address
bar of the parent .How can I get the parent container from my control
which resides in html that too resides in another html as FRAME ?

How can I able to get the parent IWebBrowser2 when my control resides
in a FRAME?

TIA!!!

You read MSDN documentation, of course. There are hundreds of interfaces
related to WebBrowser and MSHTML. A better question possibly is - what
are you trying to do?
