OK, so here's the deal. I've been working on a utility that has an embedded explorer window in it. This window gets pointed to a shared folder and you should be able to launch applications by double clicking. Sounds simple enough right? The kicker is, the GUI locks up if I launch an app from the embedded browser (CPU shoots to max). Now I've done a ton of troubleshooting and narrowed it down to exactly what is interfering. If I have any other basic control in place (there are quite a few) it causes the issue. Remove them so that all that exists is the embedded browser and it works just fine. Here is a condensed version to show the issue: This doesn't work: #RequireAdmin
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIEdit.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 541, 450, -1, -1, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI,$WS_CLIPCHILDREN))
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name:", 344, 232, 35, 17,"", $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")
$Form2 = GUICreate("Form2", 297, 337, 16, 70, $WS_CHILD, "", $Form1)
$TabGrp2 =GUICtrlCreateTab( 1,1,295,335)
$Tab2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("test")
$Tab3 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("test2")
$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer")
$oActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj( $oIE, 5, 53 , 287 , 280 )
$oIE.navigate(ss)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While sleep(150)
WEnd
Func _Exit()
GUIDelete($Form1)
$oIE = ""
Exit
EndFunc This does work: #RequireAdmin
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
