Activex Document Server & Internet Explorer

Question

Dear friends,

I'm working on activex document server that is used to display documents in Internet Explorer (an user enters URL address of a specified document in IE address bar, document is downloaded and displayed in Internet Explorer).

It works  ok but I would like to create also some type of progress bar in this activex document server that displays information about document's download progress.
From my point of view the problem is that the activex document server is called by IE when the document is already downloaded (IE uses
proper activex document server according records in registry).

Do you have any ideas how to do it? Is there an COM interface that can be used to obtain these information
from Internet Explorer?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

IE will QI your ADS's IPersistMoniker implementation and pass a URL moniker to you when calling the Load method. Now skip the normal binding to storage and download the data in a worker thread, since you need to display the progress.

Hi Sheng Jiang,

thanks you very much for your advice.

I already found that article today. It was exactly what I needed.

Now my activex document server works as I want. :)
