New IECreatePseudoEmbedded() with few important improvements

[Guest]

Hello,

I created a function that create embedded IE frame in autoit GUI.

 

The benefits of this function over _IECreateEmbedded() in IE.au3 are very critical:

1) IECreatePseudoEmbedded() will create IE frame from the laset IE verison that installed on the computer.

_IECreateEmbedded() supports up to IE7.

The benefits of this function over the other functions from here:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

1) the first benefit is that when my function start internet explorer for the frame, you will not see the IE window in full screen for about a second before the frame is created.

I upgraded the technique of the my predecessors. so now the frame is created in a more clean way.

2) I did Optimzation in some areas

3) The IE frame will create without having to finish to load the page and open internet explorer.

4) If error occurred, then you will see in the frame the reason of the error.

Thank you very much for slbmeh , DaleHohm , JohnOne .

With their example, I got inspired.

 

Example:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

#include <WinAPIEx.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_AU3Check=n

Example("http://www.autoitscript.com/site/")

Func Example($Url)
    Local $Form1 , $Button1 , $IE_Pid , $Close_Button , $IECreatePseudo , $oIE , $aMain , $nMsg

    #region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
    $Form1 = GUICreate("", 705, 671)
    $Close_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 600, 632, 89, 25)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    $IECreatePseudo = IECreatePseudoEmbedded($Url, $Form1, 8, 16, 673, 609)
    If IsArray($IECreatePseudo) Then
        $oIE = $IECreatePseudo[0]
        $aMain = $IECreatePseudo[1]

        If IsObj($oIE) Then
            GUICtrlSetPos($oIE, 0, 0, 600, 632)
        EndIf
    EndIf

    #endregion ### END Koda GUI section ###
    WinSetOnTop($Form1, "", 1)
    ;Sleep(100)

    While 1
        $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $nMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE , $Close_Button
                _IEQuit($oIE)
                ProcessWaitClose($aMain[0])
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
    GUIDelete($Form1)
EndFunc
