COM using ByRef

From the chm help, it says

Limitations on COM Events in AutoIt

Some Objects (like the 'WebBrowser') pass arguments to their Event Functions 'by reference'. This is intended to allow the user change these arguments and passing it back to the Object.  However, AutoIt uses it's own variable scheme, which is not compatible to COM variables.  This means that all values from Objects need to be converted into AutoIt variables, thus loosing the reference to the original memory space.  Maybe in the near future we can solve this limitation for you !

So in case I really need to call a COM object event using ByRef. Any clues?

eg. I want to block some URL opened by embedded IE by checking the url at BeforeNavigate event.

Func IEEvent_BeforeNavigate($url, $Flags, $TargetFrameName, $PostData, $Headers, $Cancel)
          ;Many Checking code
EndFunc

**Adding "ByRef" before "$Cancal" won't work

Any suggestions are welcome :)

Best suggestion I have is to inject Javascript into the web page that does what you want. See _IEHeadInsertEventScript

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Correct, _IEHeadInsertEventScript can't be used until the page is loaded. window.open typically would not happen until the page is loaded either however... what is invoking window.open?

From AutoIt directly I have no other ideas...

Perhaps there is some way to get there indirectly with vb script:

$oSC = ObjCreate("ScriptControl")

$oSC.language = "VBScript" ; or Javascript (or perlscript...)

$oSC.eval(VBScript-code)
