Can VBA control Microsoft Edge?
The current version of the Windows 10 Edge Web browser uses a Chromium/Blink-based rendering engine, not Internet Explorer.
Microsoft doesn't provide VBA APIs or scripting language equivalents for Edge, though there are some add-ins such as this one. As such, you can't open and control Microsoft Edge directly via a VBA project. You can take screenshots, but that's it.
In fact, Microsoft does not make it easy to control any of its popular web browsers through VBFor example, this MSDN page about the ActiveX control for Internet Explorer says, You can use the Internet Explorer 5.5 object model to access the Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 8 objects. However, Internet Explorer is obsolete. It runs on Edge only, not on Internet Explorer. The following two posts have more information:
Here are some suggestions: Write an VBA Macro for Windows 10. Since your VBA would be running in Edge, I think it would work for IE too (if it were released). The macro should run whatever browser you specify.
Use Javascript and Jquery to control the window.open() in Edge. The main thing you need is to do get the url parameter from the current Window.location.href. The code could something like this:
I see that this answer is now out of date. I think a more complete solution would still require the VBA macro approach I mentioned above. This would allow a Windows 10 user to specify their desired browser by clicking on a button in the script's dialog box. As far as I know, Microsoft doesn't provide APIs to control the browsing mode directly, so this is likely the best option. One way of writing the Macros might be:
This function reads a list of URLs from a text file and opens all of them at the same time in your browser. If you enter a custom URL in the URL line in the text file, that will be opened in your browser. If you want to open multiple sets of links in different browsers, then just copy and paste a set of URLs into the text file.
