AutoIt App Exe

[Taek]

I'm really new to autoit, I mean i've only had it for a few hours. i'm attempting to make an application for some of my clients to retrieve data from the internet, now i have a connection ping test to make sure they have internet access, if the result from that ping is negative display some offline information.

Is there some possiblity of loading an internal file from the apps exe or not?. here's my code below - anyhelp would be apreciated.

#NoTrayIcon
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
#Region
#EndRegion
    
; Main Window Variables
Dim $WindowName = "VT Computer Services :: Online Mode"
Dim $WindowFail = "VT Computer Services :: Offline Mode"
Dim $width = "900"
Dim $height = "600"
Dim $HomePage = "http://www.some-domain.net/"
Dim $iCon = "VTCServices.ico"
; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$ping = Ping("google.com", 1000)
If $ping = 0 then
; GUI
Dim $gui = GUICreate($WindowName, $width, $height)
Dim $IE = _IECreateEmbedded()
GUICtrlCreateObj($IE, 0, 0, $width, $height)
_IENavigate($IE, "index.html");Section I Would Like To Have Load Internal HTML File from Self EXE.
GUISetState()
    While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    WEnd

Exit
Else
    
Dim $gui = GUICreate($WindowName, $width, $height)
Dim $IE = _IECreateEmbedded()
GUICtrlCreateObj($IE, 0, 0, $width, $height)
_IENavigate($IE, $HomePage)
GUISetState()
EndIf

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd

Okay let me clarify myself a little bit better.

I want to display a html file that is compiled into the binary and display it through a GUI.

Partial Example Code

#include "somefile.html"
Dim $gui = GUICreate("SomeName", "WidthValue", "HeightValue")
Dim $IE = _IECreateEmbedded()
GUICtrlCreateObj($IE, 0, 0, "WidthValue", "HeightValue")
_IENavigate($IE, "somefile.html")
GUISetState()

how can i get this Embeded IE to display the somefile.html that is compiled/included into the exe?

Look at my resource UDF

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51103

resource_test_ie.au3 - example script for using HTML resources with embeded IE COM object (without using UDF)

#AutoIt3Wrapper_useupx=n
#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_after=ResHacker.exe -add %out%, %out%, test_1.htm, 23, TEST_HTML_1, 0
#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_after=ResHacker.exe -add %out%, %out%, test_1.gif, 23, TEST_GIF_1, 0
#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_after=upx.exe --best --compress-resources=0 "%out%"

$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")
$gui = GUICreate("HTML from resources example",500,400)
$ie_ctrl = GUICtrlCreateObj ($oIE, 0, 0 , 500, 400)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; image from resource (all HTML supported types)
$oIE.navigate("res://" & @AutoItExe & "/test_gif_1")
Sleep(3000)
; html from resource (with embeded image from resources)
$oIE.navigate("res://" & @AutoItExe & "/test_html_1")

While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit
WEnd

Your Example Doesn't seem to work at all. I've tried several things but couldnt get it to work.
