_IECreateEmbedded() does not show "Choose a digital certificate" dialog

[pluto41]

$o_IE = _IECreate ()
_IENavigate ($o_IE, "http://www.whatver.com")
_IEQuit($o_IE

The sample code above opens a website. If the website requires logon with a smart-card or certificate automatically the Windows: "Choose a digital certificate" dialog opens. There seems to be communication between Internet Explorer and the under laying OS.

However. In my AutoIT script i try to use the _IECreateEmbedded() function. And then the dialog isn't displayed! My code stays in the menu loop. I keep outputting debug HTML code to the console with:

Local $htmlBodyText = _IEBodyReadText ($o_IE)
_IELoadWait ($o_IE)
ConsoleWrite ("==> " & $htmlBodyText & @CRLF)

But i don't see anything going wrong. Its just the "Digital Certificate Popup" that doesn't appears. I can refresh() with F5 in the IE window and then i get a IE message that the certificate isn't valid. Which is correct because i don't get a change to choose. one.

Local $o_IE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
Local $hGUI = GUICreate ("WinTitle",$mainUiWidth, $mainUiHeight, -1, -1, $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS + $WS_CLIPCHILDREN)
Local $GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 10, $mainUiWidth-10, $mainUiHeight-100)
_IENavigate ($o_IE, "http://www.whatver.com")
_IELoadWait ($o_IE)

_IECreate() <- no problems.

_IECreateEmbedded <- no certificate popup.

I had a look at IE.au3 and noticed that completely different Windows functions are used. So perhaps what i want to do isn't possible at all....

But perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. Or a way to script around this problem.. Thanks in advance.

In my sig you'll see a pointer to a possible alternative to _IECreateEmbedded... check it out. It uses a normal browser instances.

Thank you Dale. This was the solution to my problem.

I have the same problem.. is there a way i can iterate through the list of certificates that comes up in the windows security dialog till I find the one whose friendly name matches the one i want to select? Is there anyway to just interate through the contents of things listed in the windows security box?I would really appreciate any help
