Hi Cobble,

Even though these properties are available in the API of WebBrowser ActiveX component, on practice we have never seen that they could be enabled if a WebBrowser component is being used as an embedded component outside IE application.

But if you run IE without embedding as a separate application then changing of these properties will work. The example below demonstrates it:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    ComFunctions.coInitialize();
 
    final CLSID CLSID_InternetExplorer = new CLSID("{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}");
 
    IDispatchImpl webBrowser = new IDispatchImpl(CLSID_InternetExplorer, ClsCtx.LOCAL_SERVER);
 
    final boolean useCurrentThread = true;
    Automation webBrowserAutomation = new Automation(webBrowser, useCurrentThread);
 
    webBrowserAutomation.setProperty("Visible", Boolean.TRUE);
 
    webBrowserAutomation.setProperty("AddressBar", VariantBool.TRUE);
    webBrowserAutomation.setProperty("ToolBar", VariantBool.FALSE);
    webBrowserAutomation.setProperty("MenuBar", VariantBool.FALSE);
    webBrowserAutomation.setProperty("StatusBar", VariantBool.FALSE);
 
    webBrowserAutomation.invoke("Navigate2", "http://www.teamdev.com");
 
    System.out.println("Press 'Enter' to terminate application");
    System.in.read();
 
    webBrowserAutomation.invoke("Quit");
 
    webBrowserAutomation.release();
 
    webBrowser.setAutoDelete(false);
    webBrowser.release();
 
    System.out.println("Done");
}

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
