Desktop to Web App

[drdad5727]

I'm trying to communicate from a Desktop application to a web application running in a browser (IE, for all intents and purposes). All I want to do is have the browser display an URL in a window that's already up rather than opening a new window.

Any ideas?

I think that nobody understood what exactly is, that you want to do.

Do you use IE to access web pages, and you left click on a link and it opens in a different window?
And you want to left click on it, so it will open in the same window?

Or you use an application (a no broswer) and there are links in this application, so when you first press on a link it opens an IE window, and then on a second link, it opens a different IE window, instead of the one that was already open?

Did i made my self clear?

I am running an application that is not a browser. I want to "press on a link" (more or less) and have IE not open a Window but rather display the referenced page in an existing IE window. The window I want to target is displaying an asp-generated page from another of my applications, so I could put something in that page if I knew what it was.

It's the sort of stuff the target attribute does. But I don't see how I can use it.

I don't believe I've ever seen this behavior from any application.

By the way, does anybody know where the IE Command Line parameters are documented? I know it accepts -nohome, although it doesn't seem to do anything in paricular with it. Are there more? -help or -? don't work.
