I'm trying to create a dll for use in VB. This dll needs to use the WebBrowser control (but invisibly, I just need its functionality).
I've tried to use the ATL wizard to create the dll using the 'with MFC support' option (since I believe I need this to be able to more easily contain the WebBrowser control, perhaps in an invisible dialog box within the dll).
The problem is that I'm not a VC++ programmer and I'm having difficulty seeing how to bring it all together. I'd do it all in VB normally, but I need a method exposed by the WebBrowser control that can only be got at in VC++.
Essentially I want the ATL dll to expose a few methods which internally utilise the WebBrowser control. I can't see how to 'get at' the WebBrowser control from within the method code of the ATL 'dll' object.
Can anyone provide some wise words which will get me moving on this please?
