Need Dialog to Display IE inside AutoCAD

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know of a way to display IE in a dialog frame that is inside
AutoCAD? We have a web app that runs in a browser and would like the
users not to have to leave AutoCAD (2006-09) to access it?

Simply add a web browser control to a Windows form. It is very easy with
VS2005.

That part I understand, but how do you get the dialog frame to display
so that it is inside AutoCAD? IOW, so that it looks like an AutoCAD dialog?

Check out this AU handout from AU 2005 on the AUGI site.

augi.com, it's free, log in and click education then AU handouts, 2005, customization and programming.

The AutoCAD® .NET API: The New Frontier CP33-1

There is a sample in this handout on creating a custom palette, you can add your web browser control to the palette then your user can dock it.

There is also a custom palette sample for .net in the ARX samples you can download from the Autodesk ADN site.

Good luck!

It would probably help if you reviewed the samples from
the SDK, as they show how to build dialogs that 'looks
like their an AutoCAD dialog', and Palettes as well.
