Okay, thanks for the clarification, @MattyD. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. ... I also read some of your interesting topics while searching for a solution on the site. 👍 Bye and thanks again. 👋

Wow! ... so the additional interfaces after the first aren't independent, but must all be chained together to form a larger interface that inherits all the methods of the previous interfaces... Enlightening! Thanks so much, DanyFirex, as always, you're a great help. You're fantastic! 👍

Hello friends In this topic, @LarsJ explained how to implement COM callback interfaces, pointers, and objects. But I'm facing a problem I can't solve right now. The WebView2 component, used as the base product on which @LarsJ's examples are based, is constantly evolving, with new features added with new versions. These additions are made by adding new interfaces. For example, the ICoreWebView2 base interface, which was present when this post was written, has been joined by the ICoreWebView2_2, ICoreWebView2_3, and so on, currently up to ICoreWebView2_28. Well, the problem I'm having is: how can I use the methods of the new interfaces in addition to those in the base interface? For example, the ICoreWebView2_8 interface contains, among others, the get_IsMuted(), put_IsMuted(), get_IsDocumentPlayingAudio() methods, which I'd like to try using as a generic example. I've prepared and simplified one of the scripts from LarsJ's examples to create a lightweight script that hopefully someone brilliant can implement into a working example. To run the script without complications, you must first download the zip file available in first post and unzip it to a folder of your choice, as long as you have write permissions to that folder. Then save the script from this post to the Examples folder present in the unzipped folder and run it. There are two AutoIt buttons overlaying the WebView2 embedded in the page: the one on the left, as an example, uses the basic version of an ICoreWebView2Environment interface to check the installed WebView2 version, while the one on the right contains a snippet that currently doesn't work (lines 87-105) The basic objects: Environment, Controller, and WebView are already instantiated and implemented in the variables $oCoreWebView2Environment, $oCoreWebView2Controller, and $oCoreWebView2. The ICoreWebView2_8 interface declarations have also been inserted at the beginning of the script. The goal now is to make this interface usable. Searching the forum, I found a post by @Danyfirex (Get CLSID from IID - Developer General Discussion - AutoIt Forums) for a similar problem. It seems that the .QueryInterface method on $oCoreWebView2 needs to be used, but my attempts have been unsuccessful. I think the problem may be both in the way I'm trying to make the ICoreWebView2_8 interface operational, and in the type declarations in $dtag_ICoreWebView2_8 on line 19. Any help is welcome, and I thank in advance anyone who knows how to proceed. #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w- 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7 #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPICom.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> Global $hGui ; Project includes #include "..\Includes\WV2Interfaces.au3" Global $dtag_ICoreWebView2Environment_mod = StringReplace($dtag_ICoreWebView2Environment, "get_BrowserVersionString hresult();", "get_BrowserVersionString hresult(wstr*);") ; == ICoreWebView2_8 Interface ==================================================== Global Const $sIID_ICoreWebView2_8 = "{E9632730-6E1E-43AB-B7B8-7B2C9E62E094}" Global Const $dtag_ICoreWebView2_8 = _ "add_IsMutedChanged hresult(ptr*;struct*);" & _ ; ICoreWebView2IsMutedChangedEventHandler *eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken *token "remove_IsMutedChanged hresult(struct);" & _ ; EventRegistrationToken token "get_IsMuted hresult(BOOL*);" & _ ; BOOL *value "put_IsMuted hresult(BOOL);" & _ ; BOOL value "add_IsDocumentPlayingAudioChanged hresult(ptr*;struct*);" & _ ; ICoreWebView2IsDocumentPlayingAudioChangedEventHandler *eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken *token "remove_IsDocumentPlayingAudioChanged hresult(struct);" & _ ; EventRegistrationToken token "get_IsDocumentPlayingAudio hresult(bool);" ; BOOL *value ??

Hi @Danyfirex Thanks so much for the helpful information 👍. I tried COMView and it's a really useful tool. Saludos and thanks for the help. 👋 P.S. COMVew working link: (https://web.archive.org/web/20250719112603/https://www.japheth.de/COMView.html) COMView download: (https://web.archive.org/web/20251029175716/https://www.japheth.de/Download/COMView.zip)

Thanks!, @Danyfirex, you're a champion!. Can I ask how we can get that ID so we can retrieve it for future updates on that OCX (without bothering you )? Bye, thanks again, and happy holidays everyone!

There's a new version of the OCX (Version 2.0.10 (2025-12-15)) on the OrdoWebView2 Control page, but unfortunately it doesn't work here. ...perhaps a new IID (interface identifier) needs to be used, but I don't know where @Danyfirex found the IID for the previous version... Does anyone have any idea where to find it?

Try inserting the following line immediately after the RunAs line, you should get some more information about the nature of the problem... ConsoleWrite(_WinAPI_GetLastError() & @CRLF & _WinAPI_GetLastErrorMessage() & @CRLF)

where is the WinSockUDF.au3 file? Thanks ... found it ... sorry

Hi @genius257 Your input data reader works great! I added several inputs and buttons for a quick, rough test, and the values entered into the "toast" are returned to the callback and parsed correctly by your function. It appears that a notification toast doesn't allow more than 5 inputs; each selector input can't contain more than 5 options, and buttons can't exceed 5. Text inputs allow about 2,000 characters. But these limitations are due to the inherent features of Microsoft notification toasts, not your code. ... these toasts are funny...

Hi @genius257, and thanks for your progress From some tests I'm running, I'd expect the callback function to return the values of the fields in the "toast" in the $data parameter. Using the following script, I see that the parameter ($data) contains a pointer, but what does it point to, and how can I read the data it points to? bye and thanks #include "./src/toast.au3" #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <InetConstants.au3> #include <WinApiReg.au3> #include <WinApiIcons.au3> #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <WinAPIConv.au3> If Not FileExists(@TempDir & "\e25dbe211ddfb027fcb8271d833159fc.png") Then _GDIPlus_Startup() $thIcons = DllStructCreate("HWND") $x = _WinAPI_ExtractIconEx(@AutoItExe, 0, 0, $thIcons, 1) ConsoleWrite($x & @CRLF) $hBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHICON(DllStructGetData($thIcons, 1)) _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFileEx($hBitmap, @TempDir & "\e25dbe211ddfb027fcb8271d833159fc.png", _GDIPlus_EncodersGetCLSID("PNG")) _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($hBitmap) ConsoleWrite(@error & @CRLF) _GDIPlus_Shutdown() _WinAPI_DestroyIcon(DllStructGetData($thIcons, 1)) EndIf Global Const $sAppName = @ScriptName Global $tCLSID = _Toast_CoCreateGuid() Global $sGUID = _WinAPI_StringFromGUID($tCLSID) ConsoleWrite("app CLSID: " & $sGUID & @CRLF) _Toast_Initialize($sAppName, $tCLSID, OnToastActivation, "AutoIt Toast Example", @TempDir & "\e25dbe211ddfb027fcb8271d833159fc.png") Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1) Global $hWnd = GUICreate("Toast example", 700, 320) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "GUI_CLOSE") Global $hButton01 = GUICtrlCreateButton("From template", 10, 10, 200, 120) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "ToastFromTemplateExample") Global $hButton02 = GUICtrlCreateButton("From XML string", 10, 140, 200, 120) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "ToastFromXmlString") Global $hRich = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hWnd, "", 220, 10, 470, 300) GUISetState() While 1 Sleep(10) WEnd Func ToastFromTemplateExample() Local $oXml = _Toast_CreateToastTemplateXmlDocument() Local $pToast = _Toast_CreateToastNotificationFromXmlObject($oXml) _Toast_Show($pToast) EndFunc ;==>ToastFromTemplateExample Func DownloadImage() If FileExists(@TempDir & "\e21cd29c9fb51c3a5b82f009ec33fc997d2edd1ece931e8568f37e205c445778.jpeg") Then Return _GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText($hRich, "Trying to download avatar image from gravatar..." & @CRLF) Local $iBytes = InetGet("https://gravatar.com/avatar/e21cd29c9fb51c3a5b82f009ec33fc997d2edd1ece931e8568f37e205c445778", @TempDir & "\e21cd29c9fb51c3a5b82f009ec33fc997d2edd1ece931e8568f37e205c445778.jpeg", $INET_FORCEBYPASS) Local $error = @error If @error <> 0 Then _GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText($hRich, "Failed to download image" & @CRLF) Return EndIf _GUICtrlRichEdit_AppendText($hRich, "Done!
