Accessing Embedded IE

[gpholman]

Hi

 

I'm unable to interact with an IE OCX (ieframe.dll) embedded in a Window (3rd party, not AutoIT GUI) can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong:

 

#include <ie.au3>

$win = wingethandle("test window")

$ocx = controlgethandle($win, "", "[CLASS: Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]")

_IENavigate($ocx, "test.html")

 

$win and $ocx return the correct handles but that's as far as I can get - is $ocx the wrong handle to be using?

_IEAttach()

Thanks, that looks to be just what I should be using bit I'm still not getting anywhere.

 

autoit window info tells me the object Class is 'Internet Explorer_Server' but whatever I try I get nothing back.  I think I should be using the 'embedded' option (the ocx is 'embedded' in the parent window, right?).

there is an embedded option for ieattach

Great, thanks, thats what I needed.  This threw me for ages as it kept failing - finally tracked it down to the web page being called causes _IEAttach to fail on the line 'Return $oIE.Document.parentwindow'.  Other web pages work just fine.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm guessing the page is fannying about with the DOM in some fashion that screws things up??
