embed dll in a tab - possible?

[stuartc1]

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who has helped with my previous posts.... im a newbie to autoit so excuse all my questions.

I have a GUI form with 4 tabs - everything on the GUI is within these tabs. I want to add a new tab and embed cwebpage.dll to it. I attemped to do this but the dll loads in the background behind all the tabs. Is this an error on my part or is it not possible to load dll elements within tabs?

If this is not possible - is there a way to have a button which opens an extended form with the dll in it? for example on windows some problems have a button like 'more>' which when clicked opens a new part to the existing form (a another kind of hidden element). (sorry I dont think I explained that to well).

It's possible. Try this code:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Global $cweb = DLLOpen(@ScriptDir & "\cwebpage.dll")
If $cweb = -1 Then Exit

$hGUI = GUICreate("GUI", 200, 200)
GUICtrlCreateTab(5, 5)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1")
$holder1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 35, 100, 100)
$holder1hwnd = ControlGetHandle($hGUI, "", $holder1)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab2")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
DLLCall($cweb, "long","EmbedBrowserObject", "hwnd", $holder1hwnd)
DLLCall($cweb, "long", "DisplayHTMLStr", "hwnd", $holder1hwnd, "str", "Have a nice day!")
GUISetState()

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func OnAutoitExit()
    DLLCall($cweb, "long", "UnEmbedBrowserObject", "hwnd", $holder1hwnd)
    DLLClose($cweb)
EndFunc
