Select IE window using HWND

Question

Wondering if it is possible to select an IE window based on the HWND property (or similar). My script clicks a link which opens a new page in a separate window and I would like to be able to work with this new window.

Here is my code:

$ie.Navigate("https://chaseloanmanager.chase.com/Chaselock/ViewOnlineGuide.aspx") # opens page in new window
while ($ie.Busy -eq $true){Start-Sleep -Seconds 2}

$childWindow = Get-Process | Where-Object {($_.ProcessName -eq 'iexplore')} | Get-ChildWindow | Where-Object {$_.ChildTitle -match 'Lending'} 
$childWindow.MainWindowHandle # gets HWND of new window

$shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$ie3 = $shell.Windows() | Where-Object {$_.HWND -match $childWindow.MainWindowHandle} # does not find window

Answer 1

You can get the IE comobject by searching through Windows() in Shell.Application.

$shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application

$ie = $shell.Windows() | Where-Object { $_.LocationURL -match 'Lending' }
#$ie = $shell.Windows() | Where-Object { $_.HWND -eq 2951084 }

$ie.Navigate("http://www.stackoverflow.com")
