_NewIECreatePseudoEmbedded - Create embedded IE frame with latest IE version

[Guest]

Hello,

I created a function like _IECreateEmbedded but the difference is that my function should support the latest
 internet explorer version that installed on the computer.

I tested this function here:

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

And now after some repairs and improvements, I think that the code works stable.

 

this is the example+UDF:

expandcollapse popup

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

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

Your example+UDF code is not working correctly for me. IE does not embed into the GUI, but it appears as external window at full screen resolution with not borders or title bar. The embedded edit control later displays "time out" when page loads correctly in IE outside the GUI. When the script closes the full screen IE does not close with it. So, it seems IE does not bind to the parent GUI.

I'm on Autoit v3.3.8.1, Win 7 x64, IE11

And it's generally do not embed.

Your function should be called _IEPseudoEmbedded

It's weird ..

It really worked before.

But if I change

 

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

 

to:

 

Example("'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>")

 

then it works as expected..

I do not know what is causing this problem .. I would love if someone would try to figure it out.

 

I have an important questions:

1) When IE11 open in full screen does it opens minimized or not? it should be opened minimized. and after few seconds and if everything works as it should(Which does not in this case), the minimized IE in the taskbar will be hidden.

2) And does the GUI close the IE11 when the "time out" error appears? in this case the IE11 should be closed.
