Questions tagged [shdocvw.internetexplorer]

This is the COM API for automation of Internet Explorer windows. This tag should be used when one is attempting to create and automate instances of internet explorer programmatically from a variety of COM compatible languages, such as C/C++, powershell, .Net languages, etc.

Questions that deal with the usage/troubleshooting of this API, or in some cases how to access lower level COM components that are not fully exposed by the API would be appropriate.
