Help me pls with YHTMLContainer

[dburner]

Helo im having problems reading text from a YHTMLContainer control(a Yahoo Messenger conversation window). I want to read the text then send it with TCPSend.

I readed a post with a similar problem on this forum but no one could find an answer . That post was from 2005. I hope a solution for this problem was found because AutoIt got better.

I found a this scipt on the internet that should get the text from a YHTML Container, the problem is that its in VB code and I dont know how to "convert it" to AutoIt3. Someone please help me converting it.

Dim imclass As Long
               Dim yhtmlcontainer As Long
                Dim internetexplorerserver As Long
             imclass = FindWindow("imclass", vbNullString)
             yhtmlcontainer = FindWindowEx(imclass, 0&, "yhtmlcontainer", vbNullString) 
             internetexplorerserver = FindWindowEx(yhtmlcontainer, 0&, "internet explorer_server", vbNullString)
             Call SendMessageByString(internetexplorerserver, WM_SETTEXT, 0&, TextBox1.Text) 
             If internetexplorerserver = 0 Then
                     MsgBox("No Window Was Found! or your code is bad.")
                     Exit Sub 
              End If
      End SubEnd Class

This code was from http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=439503

So it would appear taht it has an embedded Internet Explorer_Server control... you should be able to use _IEAttach embedded to attach to it and use _IEBodyReadHTML to get the content

If there is more than one Internet Explorer_Server control embedded, see: How to: get text from an 'Internet Explorer_Server' control http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...mp;#entry437001

There are three examples in the helpfile. Can you please narrow it down and show code?

Can you also try running the examples without the Yahoo Messenger window running, or see if it is perhaps related to any other unique applications you are running? Also, please try logging out and back in again to insure it is not caused by a foobar iexplore process on your system.

First i tried with all of them in the same script. And got me the error mentioned above.

Then i tried one at a time. It seems that only the last one gets an error.

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IEAttach ("A Window Title", "embedded")

Gives the error

>"D:\Programe\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:\Documents and Settings\Ionut\Desktop\testing.au3"

I tried but i get the same error.

Also, please try logging out and back in again to insure it is not caused by a foobar iexplore process on your system.

I tried but i get the same error.

I took a look in the IE.au3 file and I think my error comes from this funtion __IEControlGetObjFromHWND on the line

$aRet = DllCall("oleacc.dll", "int", "ObjectFromLresult", "int", $lResult, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($typUUID), _
            "int", 0, "idispatch_ptr", "")

I made a test script and after the DllCall i used a MsgBox to display @error. @error was 2("@error = 2 unknown "return type"").

It looks like it is not your problem. Thanks for doing the testing -- it looks like it is something induced by changes in the latest version of AutoIt (DllCall) that I have not adjusted for.

Sorry for time you've wasted on this -- I'll post more info as soon as we have it sorted out.

thanks,

Thanks for helping me. I hope you resolve the problem soon. When you do solve the problem please PM me or post in this forum.

After some analysis help from Valik, it is confirmed that this is broken until we get a new version of AutoIt. I'm really surprised we didn't catch this in the beta cycle for 3.2.10.0.

There's nothing more I can do now - _IEAttach "embedded" is broken for now.
