Web Browser in GUI?

[hlstriker]

Is it possible to have a web browser inside of the GUI?

If so, how?

Thanks in advance!

I meant adding say... Internet Explorer or Firefox? Can I have them inside A GUI?

I'm not sure what you mean, but the GUICtrlCreateObj example in the manual shows how to embed an Internet Explorer object inside of your application and control it.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
; Simple example: Embedding an Internet Explorer Object inside an AutoIt GUI
;
; The full example is available in the test\ActiveX directory (TestXInternet.au3)

$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")

; Create a simple GUI for our output
GUICreate ( "Embedded Web control Test", 640, 580,(@DesktopWidth-640)/2, (@DesktopHeight-580)/2 , $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$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",    330, 420, 100,  30)

GUISetState ()    ;Show GUI

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

; Waiting for user to close the window
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

        Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Home
            $oIE.navigate("http://www.autoitscript.com")
        Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Back
            $oIE.GoBack
        Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Forward
            $oIE.GoForward
        Case $msg = $GUI_Button_Stop
            $oIE.Stop
    EndSelect
    
Wend

GUIDelete ()

Exit

When I try to run that it gives me...

$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")

$oIE = ^ ERROR

Error: Unknown function name.

What do I need to fix?

Ah, sorry, you may need to use the Beta version of AutoIt to get that functionality.

When I try and play a Java game on the integrated Internet Explorer, the keyboard doesn't seem to function? Does anyone know why?

Hi!

Perhaps the focus is not in the embedded IE Object... Try to click on it.

I found out what the problem is, if I try typing into a Java object, it doesn't work!? Somehow the Java object takes the focus point away and turns it back to AutoIt!!!

Is there a way to make it so it won't take the focus point away just because of a Java object?
