Problem with IEAttach and embedded IE control

pootie tang · January 12, 2009

I am trying to use IEAttach to the IE instance that is embedded in the IE window. When it gets to the appropriate IEAttach call, it dies in a lower level function with the following error:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (4198) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

Return $oIE.document.parentwindow

Return $oIE.Document^ ERROR

The info from AU3Info looks like it should be able to attach (based on the description for IEAttach):

The web server requires external authentication. Please log in using the form above. After successful login, the connection to your DocuShare server will resume automatically.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention I am running v3.2.12.1

You must include some code.

Sorry about that. Just a simple call to IEAttach in my case fails.

$oIE = _IEAttach ("S3 Application","embedded")

Looks like inside of IEAttach, it makes a call to __IEControlGetObjFromHWND which is where it fails.

Also tried the following code but then got an error in a different function. I tried to get the windows handle for the Internet Explorer_Server object (which was successful) and then use IEAttach using the "hwnd" option to attach. But that causes it to fail in _IEPropertyGet on line 3116:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (3116) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:

Return HWnd($o_object.HWnd())

Return HWnd($o_object.HWnd()^ ERROR

The sample code I used was:

$handle = ControlGetHandle("S3 Application Login Request","","[Class:Internet Explorer_Server]")

MsgBox(0,'handle',$handle)

$oIE = _IEAttach ($handle,"hwnd")

I also ran WinGetClass on the window that contains the IE control and the result was:

AtlAxWin

Shell Embedding

Shell DocObject View

Internet Explorer_Server

Internet Explorer_TridentCmboBx

Static

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated

What is displayed in the IE control? IE.au3 works with HTML and HTA documents and the associated DOM. The WebBrowser and InternetExplorer controls support other types of content like FTP and plugins like PDF readers that do not have the same DOM. See if you can create a reproducer if ths is not enough information.

Thanks for the help. As far as the IE control it has a couple of input fields as well a button to login. If am able to view the source for the object:

From the source, it looks like HTML (but I could be wrong). Not sure what you mean "reproducer" Thanks again in advance.

I figured out a little more about this. It appears that the call for .parentwindow is returning a COM Error which is tied to a "Access Denied." I did find another person who ran into a similar issue (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51983&hl=IDispatch) but I couldn't tell if there was any progress made since then to be able to handle this particular case. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided

DaleHohm · January 23, 2009

You may ha figured this out already, but if you add _IEErrorHandlerRegister to your code, you'll see that Access is Denied error in the SciTe console.

This error is almost always cause by the cross-domain security restriction imposed by browsers for frames and iFrames. To avoid it, you must open the url of the desired frame in a new window.
