I have a script that will open a IE window inside of a GUI. I notice when I attempt to tab, it doesn't work. If I open the same webpage in IE, tab works fine.

???????? :rolleyes: ????????

Here is the code to show what is happening. Maybe it is my PC, but I need to make sure.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
dim $h, $w, $title
_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
$oIE2 = _IECreateEmbedded ()
$w = @DesktopWidth
$h = @DesktopHeight
$title = "Viewer"
GUICreate($title, $w - 40, $h - 60, 20 , "", $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 68, $w - 60, $h - 140)
GUICtrlSetResizing($GUIActiveX, 1)
$marquee = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE2, 10, 39, $w - 60, 25)
GUICtrlSetResizing($marquee, 1)
_IENavigate($oIE2, "about:blank")
_IENavigate($oIE,"http://www.msn.com") ;  problem occures - Tab will not work in webpage. 

_IEDocWriteHTML ($oIE2, '<body scroll=no topmargin=0 BGCOLOR=LTGREEN><marquee SCROLLAMOUNT=2 >Things that can be placed here - Top problem board issues, announcements, alerts...</marquee></body>') 

GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED  
            _ResizeLimit($Title, "",$w - 100, $h - 100, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight)
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func _ResizeLimit($Title, $Text="", $MinWidth=150, $MinHeight=150, $MaxWidth=@DesktopWidth, $MaxHeight=@DesktopHeight)
    If Not WinExists($Title, $Text) Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1)
    Local $PosArr = WinGetPos($Title, $Text), $xPos, $yPos, $wPos, $hPos
    If IsArray($PosArr) Then
        $xPos = $PosArr[0]
        $yPos = $PosArr[1]
        $wPos = $PosArr[2]
        $hPos = $PosArr[3]
        If ($wPos <> $MinWidth And $hPos <> $MinHeight) Or ($wPos <> $MaxWidth And $hPos <> $MaxHeight) Then
            If $wPos < $MinWidth And $hPos < $MinHeight Then WinMove($Title, $Text, $xPos, $yPos, $MinWidth, $MinHeight)
            If $wPos < $MinWidth And $hPos >= $MinHeight Then WinMove($Title, $Text, $xPos, $yPos, $MinWidth, $hPos)   
            If $wPos >= $MinWidth And $hPos < $MinHeight Then WinMove($Title, $Text, $xPos, $yPos, $wPos, $MinHeight)
           
            If $wPos > $MaxWidth And $hPos > $MaxHeight Then WinMove($Title, $Text, $xPos, $yPos, $MaxWidth, $MaxHeight)
            If $wPos > $MaxWidth And $hPos <= $MaxHeight Then WinMove($Title, $Text, $xPos, $yPos, $MaxWidth, $hPos)   
            If $wPos <= $MaxWidth And $hPos > $MaxHeight Then WinMove($Title, $Text, $xPos, $yPos, $wPos, $MaxHeight)
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc

I have a script that will open a IE window inside of a GUI. I notice when I attempt to tab, it doesn't work. If I open the same webpage in IE, tab works fine.

???????? :rolleyes: ????????

Here is the code to show what is happening. Maybe it is my PC, but I need to make sure.

Ran it here (but pointed to www.google.com) and see the same. No Tab in the enbedded IE, tabs fine in regular IE.

XP Pro SP2, IE 6 SP2, AutoIt 3.2.4.9

I wonder what is going on there. Would this be considered a bug, or a error in my coding??? :rolleyes:

I have a good answer for that... Yo, Dale? Earth to Dale, are you there... :rambo:

I striped down the code to make it as basic as possible. 

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
dim $h, $w, $title
_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
$w = @DesktopWidth
$h = @DesktopHeight
$title = "Viewer"
GUICreate($title, $w - 40, $h - 60, 20 , "", $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 68, $w - 60, $h - 140)

_IENavigate($oIE,"http://www.autoitscript.com") ; same problem occures - Tab will not work. 
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect

_IENavigate($oIE,"http://www.autoitscript.com") ; same problem occures - Tab will not work.

If the GUISetState is BEFORE the _IENavigate, you can tab. If it is after, you can't. I also noticed if you do a mouseover on a hyperlink first with the "fix" the tab will work. It will not work until then. I suspect this is for the tab doesn't have a start point. Can someone else test this to confirm? If I'm right, would this be considered a bug?

I spoke too soon. I noticed when I want to use the webpage I plan to use for my viewer, I still can't tab. My viewer has some buttons on it, and the tab wants only to interact with them. Even if I want to click on the control in the main window, then tab to the second control, it will not tab down. I can enter in text, but not switch between fields.

In testing, I noticed something else. The logon screen I want to work with has 2 buttons. You notice the buttons have the ability to be pressed by the keyboard. In this case the logon button can be pressed by using Alt+L. Well, when I do that, the PC will just beep, as if saying "Nope, you can't do that". Thoughts?

Edit: in Normal IE window, you can do this....

I've run into this before:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31539

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32804

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33627

The problem is that the embedded IE ActiveX control steals your accelerator keys (tab, backspace, etc). Because AutoIt only handles COM through IDispatch, and because the only way to intercept accelerator keys in the GUI when you're hosting the IE control is through IDocHostUIHandler, you're pretty much screwed. I've been informed that adding support for IDocHostUIHandler is no small thing, so don't expect a resolution on this, just find a way to work around the limitation that works for what you're trying to accomplish.

The links I've posted above do contain some workarounds, but they are far from perfect.

hmmm, In my testing, I also noticed other things, but I've been playing around with it. I wanted to have 2 windows, in that I wanted to run a marquee in one of them using a applet. I tried using a AutoIt solution to the scroll, but it is too choppy. I looked at your code on the duel thing. NICE! :rolleyes:
