$oIE.navigate disables other IE window?

[Clouds]

Hey guys,

I'm building something that needs (preferably) 2 rich edits.

For these rich edits I'm using embedded webbrowser objects.

However, when I use $oIE.navigate on one object, the other one blanks out, and vice versa.

See example

CODE

; Create main window

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1",500,500)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; Create embedded browser no.1

$oIE1 = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")

$win1 = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE1, 1, 1, 248, 498)

GUICtrlSetResizing($win1, 0x0001)

; Create embedded browser no.2

$oIE2 = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")

$win2 = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE2, 251, 1, 248, 498)

GUICtrlSetResizing($win2, 0x0001)

; Show unwanted behavior

$oIE1.navigate("about:Window 1")

sleep(2000)

$oIE2.navigate("about:Window 2<br>argl window 1 blanked out???")

sleep(2000)

$oIE1.navigate("about:Window 1<br>argl now window 2 blanked out???")

sleep(2000)

Does anyone have a clue why this happens?

Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening?

BTW I'm running this on XP....

Best regards,

This better?

#include <IE.au3>
; Create main window
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1",500,500)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; Create embedded browser no.1
$oIE1 = _IECreateEmbedded()
$win1 = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE1, 1, 1, 248, 498)
_IENavigate($oIE1,"about:blank")
GUICtrlSetResizing($win1, 0x0001)

; Create embedded browser no.2
$oIE2 = _IECreateEmbedded()
$win2 = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE2, 251, 1, 248, 498)
_IENavigate($oIE2,"about:blank")
GUICtrlSetResizing($win2, 0x0001)

; Show unwanted behavior
_AppendText($oIE1,"Hi, this is window one <br>")
sleep(2000)
_AppendText($oIE2,"Hi, this is window two <br>")
sleep(2000)
_AppendText($oIE1,"<i>Sup, yo</i> <br>")
Sleep(2000)
_AppendText($oIE2,"<b>SHUT UP</b> <br>")
sleep(2000)

Func _AppendText($oWindow,$sText)
    $oBody = _IETagNameGetCollection($oWindow, "body", 0)
    _IEDocInsertHTML($oBody, $sText)
EndFunc

Hi Nahuel,

Works great, thanks a lot!

I'll use your example to build my app.

Still wondering though why my code won't behave the way I'd expect?

I've experienced that before, and it seems to be a problem with the screen refresh. Try this, use your original script and run it. When one of the embedded IE's goes blank, quickly minimize and restore the GUI. You'll see that the text is not gone, it's just... not showing there. I honestly don't know why.

Indeed, after hiding/showing the GUI both browserwindows are visible with their contents.

Strange....

Well, I'll just use what you provided then.

Thanks again!
