Using WebBrowser Control, how to Navigate w/o displaying the HTML page.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I built an MFC project of the SDI type, hosting a WebBrowser Control.
Everything seems to behave properly.
I am using the Navigate(LPCTSTR URL) to get web pages.

Is it possible and if so how to perform all the functionality of the
Navigate()
w/o display the page?
There is a method called SetVisible(false/true) but when trying to use it,
it creates an exception.

With and w/o regard to the above question,
Is it preferred to have a host of the MDI (or top level MDI) type, as to
separate between the host's GUI window and the window in which the
WebBrowser Control displays a page (that is if I allow it to do that)?


Thanks,
David
