Blank white page rendered only in embedded IE control


Recommended Posts

Hi,

when I render a web page embedded in a GUI and the height of the ActiveX control is greater than 8192 pixel then the web page will be shown only as an empty white page.

#include <windowsconstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("", 1024, 600)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 0, 0, 1048, 8200)
Global Const $BrowserNavConstant = 2 + 128 + 256 + 512 + 4096 + 3276
$t = TimerInit()
With $oIE
    .Silent = True
    .FullScreen = True
    .Resizable = False
    .Visible = False
    .StatusBar = False
    .AddressBar = False
    .Navigate("www.stern.de", $BrowserNavConstant, "_top")
    Do
        Sleep(500)
        If .ReadyState = 4 Or TimerDiff($t) > 20000 Then ExitLoop
    Until False
    .Stop
EndWith

$oDocument = $oIE.document
$oBody = $oDocument.body
$oHtml = $oDocument.documentElement
$oBody.scroll = "no"
$oBody.style.borderStyle = "none"
$oBody.style.border = "0px"
$oHtml.style.overflow = 'hidden'


Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

GUIDelete($hGUI)

Versions:

IE: 9.0.8112.1623

Autoit: 3.3.8.1 (running as x86)

Os: Win7 x64

No problems on Win8 (IE 10.0)

Can somebody confirm or even know why this happens?

If you can see something then it is working.

But for me the GUI is only blank.

Thanks for testing!

All though the first 2 times it was only a blank page and the script ended alone (and is not a connection issue)

I tested it on Vista x64 in my VM with IE v9.0 and same problem there.

What IE versions you are using?

As far as I can remember with IE 8 it had worked but I may be wrong.

UEZ i have installed IE 9

But i dont use it

I thought you said you were running XP? XP can't run IE9.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Have in mind that the web page will be rendered when the height of the activex control is less than 8192!

I've choosen stern.de because the height of the site is larger than 8192 pixels.

Any workaround on your issue?

I can see this issue in my Screenshooter tool and the workaround is to limit the height to 8192 pixels by accepting the cut off the web page at the buttom.

But do I have this problem only or is it a generell problem with IE9?

It confirms my presumption that this is an issue with IE9. Now I need the reason why the page gets blank when it is higher than 8192 pixels.

The odd thing is that when you browse the site in IE normally there is no problem with it - only when embedded and using the object commands.

I would recommend avoiding using the ObjCreateInterface with IE if you can. See my sig for alternatives what give the same visual effect, but use full browser instances.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Thanks Dale, I will check your links in your signature whether I can adapt it into my tool.

Edit: I need to render the full web site without scroll bars to make a screenshot of it. The pseudo embedded solutions are unfortunately not usable for my purpose because of the scroll bars unless you can change that.
