Closing Internet Explorer tab

Hi there,

i was just wondering if there is a way of closing an IE tab without closing all of the tabs.

Rightclick>Close;)

I should of been more specific.

I have a program which opens a number of IE tabs and i want to be able to close a certain number of them.

The program is written in VB6.

Sorry for not being specific enough first time

I suppose that depends how you are opening the tabs. Are you loading IE up as a seperate app or does IE load inside your app?

One way you could try is using sendkeys to send ctrl+w. That will close just 1 tab but sendkeys isnt the best thing to use

erm, my app sends a number of links to IE which open in seperate tabs. I want to be able to close them one by one, leaving just the original tab open

Cant you do it the same way you are sending the links? How are you sending the links anyway?

There are differing numbers of links open. The sendkeys ctrl+w seems to be the best option. thanks

You might be able to make of use Spy++ and the following APIs:
FindWindow, FindWindowEx, GetWindowLong.

Just do a search for those terms with the conjunction of sendkeys. There's quite a # of topics out there.

However, I'm having trouble looking for something that uses some of this code.
