Mozilla Activex Control

[svennie]

Hi,

If you would like to use Mozilla instead of IE for ActiveX, try out this .

You can download the ActiveX control here. It seems to also be included in newer versions of Mozilla or something, however it seems to not be included in Firefox. So just get it there.

Here's the example:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$oIE = ObjCreate("Mozilla.Browser.1")
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()
$oIE.navigate("http://www.autoitscript.com")
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        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

It uses exactly the same API as IE so just read the IE ActiveX descriptions .

The ActiveX control doesnt require the whole Mozilla browser.

And it will also not install it... And its the Mozilla browser, not Firefox .

(get Mozilla here)

And this can help with auto-installing the ActiveX Control:

/D=x:\dirname

Install program to path.

/NCRC

Skip CRC check.

/S

Silent mode

Hope this helps some people.

Good luck!

I don't know if this should be here, it's more like a tutorial on using that thing , sorry if this is the wrong place.

And the ActiveX control is not my work, so don't ask my things about the ActiveX control itself.

Get the source here.

This is interesting. I think this should have been put in chat though. I think it is kinda useless.

If you add, at the beginning of script the code below:

RunWait('regsvr32.exe "'&@ScriptDir&'\mozctl.dll"')

.....script....

and copile all.

Then copy the compiled script in the installation directory of the Mozilla ActiveX Control (Ex. C:\Program Files\Mozilla ActiveX Control v1.7.12)

The final step is to put all the content of the directory in a CD-Rom (obviously burning it!).

WE CAN HAVE AN INDEPENDENT CD BROWSER RUNNING ON WIN98/98LITE WIN2000 WINXP ....

I THINK IT IS GOOD!

Does exist...

Have a look at Mozilla Embedded -- works out of the box.

Older Firefox-installers were also available as zip-files -- same result.

Off-by-one is the world smallest browser with 3.2 html.

Have you got a link regarding "Older Firefox-installers"?

I installed the mozilla browser and it still gave me an error in the script with ".navigate" command

I'm gonna test this later. If this works, I will be forever in your debt
