Crosspost: Browse and Edit XML document using VB and IE

Hi,

I'm working on this problem: provide local-PC functionality to browse
an XML document, and to edit it in a very limited way. The current
plan is to use a standalone VB app to read the XML, and launch IE from
that VB app to preview the file (bits of XSLT code provide for a very
nice table output format in IE). So at this point I have a tiny VB app
running, and alongside it IE is showing a nicely formatted (but
non-editable) view of the data. Now the tricky part: allowing the user
to edit a data row in the table. How can this be done?

I thought that maybe something like a button could appear on every row
in the table. Some magic behind that button will allow the user to
edit the row. Clicking on the button might bring up a new window to
allow the editing (no editing in place in IE is required).

I don't really know (or care) what app should launches the edit
window.

This all has to run locally on a PC - no permanent network connection
is available.

Please help. Will IE send some event back to the VB app that could be
caught? Do I need a plug-in that could communicate with the standalone
VB app? Is there some completely elegant solution that I just don't
know about? Thanks in advance for any and all help.
