Compiled App uses WebBrowser


Recommended Posts

This is similar to previous post, but thought I could be more descriptive of my problem.

I have a compiled App already running in windows and its functionality uses ActiveX webbrowser controls. I can get a "handle by using

$handle=WinGetHandle("App Title"), however, I'm beginning to wonder if it's the *right* handle. If I really want to apply IE.au3 functionality to this window, do I need to use a handle from IECreate? Unfortunately, this is an app and has no URL, but has IE functionality. It seems to be this weird hybrid that isn't really windows, and doesn't show up for IE.

Will the handle code work for IE stuff that I have below? Seemingly, it is not working for me. Am I doing something wrong to grab an existing IE window?

Thanks again in advance for any help.

#include-once

#include <file.au3>

#include <IE.au3>

$handle=WinGetHandle("App Title")

$oIE=_IECreate("",1,1,0,0) ; Attempting to grab existing window, but doesn't work. Launches a new one.

If @error Then

MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window")

_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "Error")

Else

_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "Found Handle")

_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "IEReadText = " & _IEBodyReadText($handle))

_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "IEBODYREADHTML = " & _IEDocReadHTML($handle))

_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "WinGetText =" & WinGetText("App Title"))

_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "Is it a frameset? (1 if true) =" & _IEIsFrameSet($handle))

$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($handle)

_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "oForm =" & $oForm)

$propval=_IEPropertyGet($handle, "appname")

_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "property value inner html is " & $propval)

WinMove("Cisco NAC Agent","",10,10)

Endif

Output:

2008-05-05 15:56:44 : Found Handle

2008-05-05 15:56:44 : IEReadText = 0

2008-05-05 15:56:44 : IEBODYREADHTML = 0

handle is generic.. it's like asking if the desktopWidth means something in a function and something else in another .. desktopWidth is.. the desktop width so yeah.. handle returned by WinGetHandle can be used wherever you see a function parameter called handle.

Did you try _IEAttach() ?

edit : nvm ...I re-read.. you're trying to attach an application though in those functions description it's said it needs to be an Internet Explorer Window .. I guess you can't do it (with IE.au3)

Hey Mike,

Thank you for taking the time to reply and confirm my $handle is ok.. I thought it was, because I could move the window around, but kinda lost my confidence when I couldn't do anything inside this app.

Just FYI.. I thought this might help troubleshoot, but this is my "Auto v3 Window Info" Ahh!! I just saw the help indicate Explorer_Server1 means I should be able to attach in this way!!

Thanks, that may be the clue I need! I'll post.

I expect you can use _IEAttach($handle, "embedded")

make sure you are using the AutoIt 3.2.11.x beta however as a DllCall bug in 3.2.10.x will cause this to fail.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Man,

I don't care what those other guys say, you guys ROCK! I was futzing and futzing and didn't have the beta. Looked back here, and voila!

That's going to save me a world of pain to go to somewhere I didn't want to go. Virtual Margarita's all around! Put it on my tab! Cinco de Mayo!!

Thanks again to all who helped!
