IE object does not recognized as valid object type

[MrCreatoR <mscreator@…>]

This bug was introduced in the latest betas (not sure in what particulary), on 3.3.7.5 it was fine.

The example is from the help file (_IECreateEmbedded):

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()

$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
GUICreate("Embedded Web control Test", 640, 580, _
		(@DesktopWidth - 640) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2, _
		$WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS + $WS_CLIPCHILDREN)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 600, 360)
$GUI_Button_Back = GUICtrlCreateButton("Back", 10, 420, 100, 30)
$GUI_Button_Forward = GUICtrlCreateButton("Forward", 120, 420, 100, 30)
$GUI_Button_Home = GUICtrlCreateButton("Home", 230, 420, 100, 30)
$GUI_Button_Stop = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 340, 420, 100, 30)

GUISetState()       ;Show GUI

_IENavigate ($oIE, "http://www.autoitscript.com")

; Waiting for user to close the window
While 1
	$msg = GUIGetMsg()
	Select
		Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
			ExitLoop
		Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Home
			_IENavigate ($oIE, "http://www.autoitscript.com")
		Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Back
			_IEAction ($oIE, "back")
		Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Forward
			_IEAction ($oIE, "forward")
		Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Stop
			_IEAction ($oIE, "stop")
	EndSelect
WEnd

GUIDelete()

Exit

The error shown in the console:

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IENavigate, $_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType

This is another issue introduced with the change to the ObjName function and the return value for different objects. The embedded object used to return "IWebBrowser2" and it now returns "WebBrowser". So, the fix is in IE.au3, function IsObjType() change at line 3686:

from this

3685 Case "browser"
3686 If ($s_Name = "IWebBrowser2") Or ($s_Name = "IWebBrowser") Then $objectOK = True

to this

3685 Case "browser"
3686 If ($s_Name = "IWebBrowser2") Or ($s_Name = "IWebBrowser") Or ($s_Name = "WebBrowser") Then $objectOK = True
