_IEAttach

[dczarnik]

Very basic question that I have been looking all over for and haven't been able to find an answer to...

How in the hell do I use the IE API with an EXISTING Internet Explorer window? 

It's not making sense to me.

I tried using IE attach but that does not seem to be working.

A. Was there an error message shown in the Scite output window?

B. Did you try running the examples from the help file?

[dczarnik]

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Attach to a browser control embedded in another window

Local $oIE = _IEAttach("http://google.com", "")
Local $sHTML = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Document Source", $sHTML)

 

 

 

I run this and message box returns 0.

You didn't answer either of my questions.

Again the details are important. Read the help file entry for _IEAttach, particularly to portions dealing with embedded IE instances.
