Changing apperance in IE from ActiveX Docs

[pafal]

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the apperance of IE from an ActiveX-document, ie changing titlebar and upperleft icon etc.

If I add a menu with the menutool it shows up and take over from IE, but the rest?

from inside you AXDoc you can manipulate the container by means of the Parent property of your userdocument.
E.g.
parent.toolbar = 0
removes the toolbar.
(I have tested this unter NT 4 with VB 6 and IE5).

Be aware though, that a true activeXdoc can also be hosted in an Office Binder.
IMHO manipulating the container from an AxDoc is not a smart thing to do.

Thanks,

I was there in the neighbourhood, but since VB doesn't auto-complete props and methods for the parent I missed it.

I take it that it means stay-away, which you also recommended.
