  EVT_ACTIVEX_IE_BEFORENAVIGATE2($parent , $IE , sub{...} ) ;

To import the events use:

  use Wx::ActiveX qw( EVT_ACTIVEX );

  use Wx::ActiveX::IE qw(EVT_ACTIVEX EVT_ACTIVEX_IE_NEWWINDOW2 EVT_ACTIVEX_IE_STATUSTEXTCHANGE) ;
  ... or ...
  use Wx::ActiveX::IE qw(:iexplorer) ;
  

You can use a common event table for both Mozilla and IE

  use Wx::ActiveX::Browser qw(:browser);
