Isn't that an NP-complete problem or am I crazy?

 Hi Chung ,

 Of coure i want to ship my personal browser with my products too :-),
 but will this be immune to those popup blockers?

Third party extensions are not loaded by the MSHTML control, so it wouldn't
be affected by pop-up blockers--or spyware for that matters. WinXP SP2's
popup blocker is controlled by something known as IInternetSecurityManager,
whose behavior you can override by implementing your own.

 Hi All,

 I hope I'm posting this question to the correct newsgroups. We have a
 web based database application that's accessed using IE. The
 application opens a popup window to run in. With all the popup blockers
 and compromised browsers out there, I'm looking into developing a web
 based custom client side application to access the application with.
 The application will be developed to only reach the web application
 site using the https protocol. It also needs to javascript enabled. It
 will be downloaded from the main web site and used to access the
 database application.

 Any suggestions/ideas on how to go about developing the client
 application? What tools tools are out there for such a project.

It's easy. Just create an application that hosts the MSHTML ActiveX control
(IE itself minus the interface). With tools like Delphi or Visual Basic,
it's literally a matter of dragging and dropping the control into the form.
Even in Visual C++ it's not that hard.

Forcing Javascript to be on is somewhat more tricky. There are a couple COM
interfaces that you to implement.

I suggest you google MSHTML hosting for more info. The newsgroup
microsoft.public.inetsdk.programming.mshtml_hosting is also an excellent
resource.
