How to create an array of a certain type

[garyusenet]

I am writing a programme that when run will list the current internet
explorer windows open, and allow the user to choose which one they
would like to work with. At the moment I have managed to get as far as
finding open windows, and detecting which ones are internet explorer
windows, but I do not know how to store the ones that are internet
explorer windows and reference them later.

My idea was that I could create an array of type ShellWindows and store
those windows that matched the following check: -

Int32 iLocation = ie.FullName.Ind exOf("iexplore" );
if (iLocation >= 0)

The check works ok, but i don't know how to store the windows that pass
this check into an array for future use.

Any assistance would be useful.

namespace InternetExplore rInterface
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeCompo nent();
}

private void Form1_Load(obje ct sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (InternetExplor er ie in new ShellWindows())
{

Int32 iLocation = ie.FullName.Ind exOf("iexplore" );
if (iLocation >= 0)

{
MessageBox.Show (ie.LocationNam e);
MessageBox.Show (ie.LocationURL );
}
}

}
}
}

Try this:
ArrayList ar = new ArrayList();
if (iLocation >= 0) ar.Add(ie);
