Can't get AutoComplete to work in hosted webbrowser control

[brettg]

When I host the webbrowser ActiveX control in my own program, I cannot get AutoComplete to work no matter what. I have set the DOCHOSTUIFLAG_ENABLE_FORMS_AUTOCOMPLETE flag in the IDocHostUIHandler::GetHostInfo method, but it doesn't help. Why doesn't it work

thank yo

Does your GetHostInfo implementation get called? Maybe you have set up
your IDocHostUIHandler incorrectly.

I'm pretty sure it is set up correctly. I have been using this code for a long time and I can make all of the other DOCHOSTUIFLAG_* flags work correctly (and all other IDocHostUIHandler interface methods). But not DOCHOSTUIFLAG_ENABLE_FORMS_AUTOCOMPLETE. Is there a project sample somewhere with this working? I have searched MSDN and found nothing

BTW, GetHostInfo definitely gets called - I confirmed it in the debugger.

It should work. I have not tried it myself, but other people report
success with the technique:
