I am writing an IE plug-in so called Smart Viewers. It is an alternative to the tab views and serves for solving problems of to many browser windows.
The idea is to use a bar with small browser windows where the links can be dropped and loaded. The user may then switch between a small window and the main window.
The advantage is the documents is visible in a zoomed view like it is in the Windows manager in the web mode.

My add-in is a COM object that is integrated to IE through a tool bar button. The button activates and deactivates the SmartViewers bar. I use WebBrowser control for small browser windows and the interface IHTMLStyle3 for zooming the contents.

Now, my problem. I cannot find an efficient solution for switching between a view and the main window. At the moment, I do it with re-navigation. It there a possibility to exchange the browser controls of two windows or to exchange the documents of two web browsers.
