ID: Q175910

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming), version 4.0
• Microsoft Internet Client SDK, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

MSHTML never calls IDocHostShowUI::ShowHelp in a host application.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Internet Explorer 4.01

MORE INFORMATION

The WebBrowser control and Mshtml.dll components of the Internet Explorer 4.0 can be hosted by applications other than the Internet Explorer. These "hosts" can implement several interfaces used for customizing the behavior of IE4/MSHTML objects. A host can supply mechanisms for message boxes and Help to be shown by implementing the IDocHostShowUI interface.
