We are using the following code to open a IE window on click of a command button. This opens up a new window with menubar, titlebar, etc.

We want to open a window with no menubar, linkbar etc. How can we do it?


string PostDataStr = "url=" + documentUrl + "&title=" + documentTitle + "&teaser=" + documentSelectedText;
byte[] PostDataByte = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(PostDataStr);
string AdditionalHeaders = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" + Environment.NewLine;

System.Object one = "_SELF";
System.Object two = "new";
System.Object three = PostDataByte;
System.Object four = AdditionalHeaders;

IEApp.Navigate(navigateURL, ref one, ref two, ref three, ref four);

I am using byte[] PostDataByte to send encoded data as the data can be in japanese also.

window.open does not have any paramater for sending such data.

Hi Jagdish.

You can use the MSHTML object model to make any changes in the new opened window.

Hi Jagdish.

mshtml.IHTMLWindow2 window = HTMLDocument.parentWindow;
mshtml.IHTMLWindow2 newWindow =
window.open("//www.add-in-express.com", null, "height=200,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no", true);

Then you can change the title in the DocumentComplete event handler of the iemodule:

private void IEModule_DocumentComplete(object pDisp, string url)
{
if (!IEApp.MenuBar)
{
HTMLDocument.title = "My Title";
}
}

Hi Sergey,

You are using window.open. But window.open does not support passing UTF8 encoded byte[] format data.

We want to pass in the format given below. Please look at variable three.

System.Object one = "_SELF";
System.Object two = "new";
System.Object three = PostDataByte; //This is byte data
System.Object four = AdditionalHeaders;
IEApp.Navigate(navigateURL, ref one, ref two, ref three, ref four);

Along with this I want to hide the MenuBar, StatusBar, etc

How is this possible using mshtml object?

Jagdish, all that you need is passed in the 'features' parameter of the window.open method.

Right, But how do you pass the encoded byte[] data in window.open? i need to 'post' japanese data to the window that I am opening. How can we post japanese data with window.open().

Secondly If I use window.open, I keep getting 'pop up blocked'. This is a problem as I can click the add-on button to open the pop up from any URL.

So, the only solution I feel is somewhere in the first post that I wrote. The only problem area is passing the window 'features'

Jagdish, I don't pass any data. I just use the 'features' parameter to configure the window. Now I don't have any other solution. I will let you know if I find any.
