Shell.Explorer.2 in Windows 7

[redao]

Sorry to re-open this thread, it`s the same base question of

I have the same problem, but on Windows 7 with the code bellow:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")

; Create a simple GUI for our output
GUICreate("Explorer Test", 640, 580,(@DesktopWidth-640)/2, (@DesktopHeight-580)/2, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN))
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj( $oIE, 0, 0 , 640 , 580 )

GUISetState ();Show GUI

$oIE.navigate("file://c:\")

Do
   Sleep(100)
Until NOT $oIE.Busy

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
     GUIDelete ()
     $oIE = 0; Remember to free object
     Exit
    EndSelect
    
Wend
Exit

I cant navigate in folders into the same window, when i click in a folder... The Windows open a new explorer window with the selected folder! I need a simple help to work this code correctly. I know there are several examples of file browser navigates... But dont want anything complex, just something simple to navigate inside the folder that i specify and open files.

Sorry my bad google english translate =].

Well whatever you think, but I tried to be all nice like you and put a wink smiley to validate my useless post.

But seeing as how you want to try and make me look like a arse kisser, I will just tell you to 'fuck off' you clown.

Hi people,

I have strictly the same problem and after searching in AutoIt help, forums and Google for hours, I still have no clue.

I try to embed a Windows explorer window in an autoit window.

I tried this sample script in Windows 7 to test how it works :

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

; Simple example: Embedding an Internet Explorer Object inside an AutoIt GUI
;
; See also: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/objects/internetexplorer.asp
Func Example()
    Local $oIE, $GUIActiveX, $GUI_Button_Back, $GUI_Button_Forward
    Local $GUI_Button_Home, $GUI_Button_Stop, $msg

    $oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")

    ; Create a simple GUI for our output
    GUICreate("Embedded Web control Test", 640, 580, (@DesktopWidth - 640) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN))
    $GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj ($oIE, 10, 40, 600, 360)
    $GUI_Button_Back = GUICtrlCreateButton("Back", 10, 420, 100, 30)
    $GUI_Button_Forward = GUICtrlCreateButton("Forward", 120, 420, 100, 30)
    $GUI_Button_Home = GUICtrlCreateButton("Home", 230, 420, 100, 30)
    $GUI_Button_Stop = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 330, 420, 100, 30)

    GUISetState()       ;Show GUI

    $oIE.navigate("c:\")

    ; Waiting for user to close the window
    While 1

        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
            Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Home
                $oIE.navigate("c:\")
            Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Back
                $oIE.GoBack
            Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Forward
                $oIE.GoForward
            Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Stop
                $oIE.Stop
        EndSelect

    WEnd

    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example

... and just like "Redao" said, it opens a new explorer window when I start to browse "C:\".

I tested the same script in Windows XP and i got no problem : I could browse within the original Auto IT window...

My questions :

1. Does someone know how to force a correct behaviour with Windows 7 ?

2. Does someone know an alternate way to embed an explorer window within an AutoIt GUI that works the same way on XP and 7 ?

I've been using AutoIt for 2 years but this is the first time I request help on the forum : I am not used to involve the community in my dev issues but on this case, i feel stuck and a little help would be appreciated. :-)

Thx very much

I also wanted to precise :

I checked in Windows the option "launch windows in separate processes", enabled and disabled it : it changed nothing...

I also ran my script on 2 other different installations of Win 7 "as administrator" : useless

that's all :-)

Hi all, please help... just need a clue or an alternate way to do the same...
