vba - CreateObject function for "Shell.Application" vs "InternetExplorer.Application" -


i went through post (http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/553580-visual-basic-applications-macro-already-open-ie-window.html). here answer quite intriguing me in code -

    sub getie_latebinding()        dim ie object        createobject("shell.application").windows          if .count > 0           ' ie          set ie = .item(0) ' or .item(.count - 1)         else           ' create ie           set ie = createobject("internetexplorer.application")           ie.visible = true         end if          ie.navigate "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q176792/"          set ie = nothing        end     end sub

here createobject() used twice once "shell.application" , other time "internetexplorer.application". first time used reference open windows or active second time used create new browser window.

i tried running following code, results in new ie window each time when there instance open.

    public sub trial()         dim ie object         set ie = createobject("internetexplorer.application")         ie.visible = true     end sub

i can understand behavior of "internetexplorer.application" - creating new ie application instance each time hence new window. "shell.application" seems fetch open shell application instance , hence, able browse open ie windows. seems bit confusing. missing?

note : guessing related class_initialize() "shell.application". if please me reference.

ie , explorer used same program why shell.application lists open ie windows. doing because used both explorer windows. lucky meets needs.

createobject used create new object.

getobject(filename) connects open file, , if not open, opens it.

set xlbook = getobject("c:\users\david candy\documents\super.xls") msgbox xlbook.name

getobject("","shell.application") connect existing object , fails if it's not running.

set getexcelapp = getobject("", "excel.application") msgbox getexcelapp

don't hung on objects. many objects function libraries shell.application. you created new function library object.
