New Tab issues

[matto100]

I am playing around with making a simple embedded IE browser, but if I click a link that would normally open in a new tab (aka about:blank) it loads in a new IE window. Is it possible to make them load in the embedded IE instead of a separate app (Sorry if i'm being vague)?

Post your code, and give example of your problem.

[matto100]

Okay, well my code is the basic IE embed:

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

GUICreate("IE Embed", @DektopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, BitOR ($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN))

$GUI_ActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 1335, 600)

;Not all the code, but the only relevant part.

My problem is that if I click a link in the object that when used in a normal browser would open in a new tab, it opens in a new IE window. Is there a way to make it open in the object like a normal link?

Yes, get the url of the link and navigate to it.

Im sorry, but can you give me an example on how can I search for links whose targets are '_blank'? I don't know how to do that.

_IELinkGetCollection()

_IELinkGetCollection is for getting all the links in a document, I believe the OP is asking about opening secondary pages.

 

@matto100 - you're creating an object, and then embedding that object in a GUI. Do you have tabs in your GUI to support multiple pages? Since you're embedded just the IE object in your GUI, not the entire Window, I don't see how you're going to expect tabs unless you make them available in your GUI itself (you essentially are creating your own IE window around the object).

The code you posted is not the relevant part.

Show the code where you find and click the link.

@JLogan3o13 ah, so getting a secondary page is different then getting all links on the page?

[JLogan3o13]

You are correct he is looking for a link on the page, however (and I could be wrong so waiting on OP to clarify) it looks like in his GUI, when he clicks manually on a link, he would like it to open another IE tab within the GUI instead of opening the second page outside the GUI.

[MikahS]

Hm. Would you get the target property and make it blank, then open the link in a new tab in the GUI?

[matto100]

I just want to know whether it's possible to have the link targeted to '_blank' to just load like a link that would load in the same tab.
