IWebBrowser2

[AF]

I have an instance of IWebBrowser2 and make calls into the JScript of its
loaded HTML page from my C++ app. The IWebBrowser2 interface was created in
the main UI thread, if I make calls into the JScript in the main UI thread
everything is fine but if I try and make calls into the JScript in a worker
thread I get an E_ACCESSDENIED error message from the scripting engines
IDispatch::Invoke. In both cases the method used to call into the JScript is
the same i.e. get an IHTMLDocument2 interface from
IWebBrowser2::get_Document, then get the scripting engine IDispatch
interface from IHTMLDocument2::get_Script, then call Invoke on that
IDispatch interface. I develop using VS 2008 under Window 7. Any help would
be great.

So, don't do that. JavaScript engine is single-threaded. At the very least, you should properly marshal interface pointers from main to worker thread (but then you lose most of the benefits of the worker thread to begin with).

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
