Closing the window with _IECreateEmbedded() content


Recommended Posts

I use a simple script (below) to display a webpage that takes a selected text as a parameter, when the "^q" keystroke is pressed. Unfortunately, when an user open 3 windows using he script below, Autoit hangs. That's ok, I tried to keep only one window open, closing the previously opened window. But it turned out that always the newly opened window is closed, despite using the handle to the previous window, as confirmed by the console output ... Is there any error in the script?

 

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

;Local $old_clipboard
HotKeySet ("^q", "gettext")

While 1
WEnd

Func gettext ()
Local Static $another_handle

 $old_clipboard = ClipGet ()
 Send ("^c")
 $current_clipboard = ClipGet ()

 $width = 460
 $height = 580

 ConsoleWrite( $another_handle & @CRLF )
 If $another_handle <> 0 Then
    WinClose($another_handle)
 EndIf

Local $oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()

$another_handle = GUICreate("example", $width, $height, _
    (@DesktopWidth - $width) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - $height) / 2, _
        $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS + $WS_OVERLAPPED + $WS_SYSMENU + $WS_EX_TOPMOST + $WS_EX_STATICEDGE)
 ConsoleWrite( $another_handle & @CRLF )

GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 0, 0, $width, $height)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;Show GUI
_IENavigate($oIE, StringFormat("https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s", StringStripWS(ClipGet (), $STR_STRIPLEADING + $STR_STRIPTRAILING)))
ClipPut ($old_clipboard)
_IEAction($oIE, "stop")

; Waiting for user to close the window
While 1
    Local $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $iMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

GUIDelete()

EndFunc

Func CheckError($sMsg, $iError, $iExtended)
    If $iError Then
        $sMsg = "Error using " & $sMsg & " button (" & $iExtended & ")"
    Else
        $sMsg = ""
    EndIf
    GUICtrlSetData($g_idError_Message, $sMsg)
EndFunc   ;==>CheckError
