Hi Ptrex, thanks for this post, by installing the material you posted I was only able to run the examples contained in it, but unfortunately OrdoWebView2.ocx continues not to work. Although the variable $oWebView2 in my script above is an object, it seems not to "contain" the reference to the Webview2 control. Probably the instantiation of WebView2 by the OCX fails ...(?) What is strange is that the example program Test.exe included in the directory \OrdoWebView2Control\ which also contains OrdoWebView2.ocx works regularly, therefore all the "dependencies" that are needed should already be present. In addition, in this post (https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?899415-OrdoWebview2-ActiveX-WebView2-Browser-Control-(Replacement-of-the-MS-browser-control)&p=5651133&viewfull=1#post5651133) on the site "vbforums", it is written which are the essential files for the OrdoWebView2.ocx control to work. What a pity that there are always problems in getting something to work.

Thanks @ptrex ...from what you can read on the OrdoWebView2's control description page it seems that all the necessary dependencies should be installed by OrdoWebView2ControlRedistributable.exe. literally: "In the "Redistributable" folder, OrdoWebView2ControlRedistributable.exe is used to install the control and its dependencies on a client machine. Launched with the /verysilent option, this program can be integrated into the installer of your own solution." in truth at first glance I couldn't find that executable on the HD, but then I saw that it is present with a slightly different name and that is OrdoWebView2ControlRedistribuable.exe, the name ends with "...Redistribuable.exe" instead of "...Redistributable.exe", a "t" is missing in the file name. however even manually running that file doesn't seem to solve the problem...

... a little digression from the OP Browsing the internet I came across this interesting page (https://freeware.ordoconcept.net/OrdoWebview2.php) where there is an ocx through which it should be possible to use WebView2. Actually it refers to VB6, but maybe it can be adapted here too? To test it I installed OrdoWebView2 SDK (https://freeware.ordoconcept.net/download.php?file=OrdoWebView2ActiveXControl.2.0.9.exe). I then tried to use it through this simple script which is an adaptation of a similar script by @ptrex taken from this link, but I receive an error from the ocx: "Run-time error '0'"; the methods are not executed and not even the browser is incorporated into the GUI. Does anyone know how and if it is possible to make it work here? thanks. #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=N #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ; Initialize COM error handler $oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "MyErrFunc") ; Load ActiveX module $hActiveX = DllOpen("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OrdoWebView2.ocx") ; Object identifiers Global Const $sCLSID = "{56335193-C129-41AC-B94A-B26B9B7469CF}" ; retrieved from the registry Global Const $sIID = Default ; Create a simple GUI for our output Local $hWebView2 = GUICreate("WebView2 ocx test", 1000, 580, (@DesktopWidth - 1000) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;Show GUI ; Create Com Object ; Local $oWebView2 = ObjCreate("OrdoWebView2.OrdoWebView") ; HEXEDIT.HexEditCtrl.1") Local $oWebView2 = ObjCreate($sCLSID, $sIID, $hActiveX) If IsObj($oWebView2) Then MsgBox(64, "Object's info", _ "Name of Object is:...." & ObjName($oWebView2, 1) & @CRLF & _ "Description string is:.........." & ObjName($oWebView2, 2) & @CRLF & _ "ProgID is:......................" & ObjName($oWebView2, 3) & @CRLF & _ "File associated in Registry is:." & ObjName($oWebView2, 4) & @CRLF & _ "Module name in which runs is:..." & ObjName($oWebView2, 5) & @CRLF & _ "CLSID of object's coclass is:..." & ObjName($oWebView2, 6) & @CRLF & _ "IID of object's interface is:..." & ObjName($oWebView2, 7)) Else Exit MsgBox(16, '', "Error occurred") EndIf ; https://freeware.ordoconcept.net/Help/OrdoWebView2/ $oWebView2.Anchor = True $oWebView2.HomeURL = "https://www.google.com/" $oWebView2.SearchEngine = 'Google' $oWebView2.Init $GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oWebView2, 10, 10, ((@DesktopWidth - 1000) / 2) - 20, ((@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2)) - 20) ; GUICtrlSetResizing($GUIActiveX, $GUI_DOCKAUTO) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd ; COM Error Handler Func MyErrFunc() $HexNumber = Hex($oMyError.number, 8) MsgBox(0, "AutoItCOM", "We intercepted a COM Error !" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "err.description is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.description & @CRLF & _ "err.windescription:" & @TAB & $oMyError.windescription & @CRLF & _ "err.number is: " & @TAB & $HexNumber & @CRLF & _ "err.lastdllerror is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.lastdllerror & @CRLF & _ "err.scriptline is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.scriptline & @CRLF & _ "err.source is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.source & @CRLF & _ "err.helpfile is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.helpfile & @CRLF & _ "err.helpcontext is: " & @TAB & $oMyError.helpcontext) SetError(1) EndFunc ;==>MyErrFunc

If you want the text scrolling to continue even when you drag the GUI or even when an MsgBox() is in action, you can use _WinAPI_SetTimer instead of AdlibRegister, as in this slightly modified version of your script. ...

you can set the path for that directory in the second parameter of the "CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions" function call. That path must be writable or else an error will be thrown. take a look here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/204362-microsoft-edge-webview2-embed-web-code-in-your-native-application/?do=findComment&comment=1475295 ... and also here: What is the 'EBWebView' folder created for? · Issue #2023 · MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback · GitHub

Hi @MattyD,First of all, thank you for this work you are doing. From a first look at the WinRT UDF, I see that the _WinRT_WaitForAsync function is used to block the execution of the main script until the expected event is raised (or expires). I would like to ask you if there is a way to use something similar to the AutoIt ObjEvent() function as an alternative (or maybe, even better, use that function directly). That is, give the user the possibility to pass the name of their own function attached to an event that will be called asynchronously when that event occurs? I apologize in advance if I misunderstood the mechanism of the _WinRT_WaitForAsync() function ... bye and thank you

with the changes suggested by @UEZ it works for me try putting #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n at the beginning of the script

Hi @Blaxxun, ... if you want to try something similar you can take a look at my _crop() function found here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/203545-%E2%9C%82%EF%B8%8F-quick-crop-tool Below is a simple script if you're interested in trying it out. I hope it can be of use to you. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <croptool.au3> ; <-- https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/203545-%E2%9C%82%EF%B8%8F-quick-crop-tool Opt("GUICloseOnESC", 0) ; Simple example of use of the _Crop() function ; ; it allows you to freely and visually select an area of the screen ; ; - To resize the area click the left mouse button on any of the moving colored edges of the tool and drag. ; You can also LeftClick within the selected area and drag to move the whole selector. ; ; - To terminate the selection operation RightClick within the selected area. ; ; You can alse terminate the selection operation by hitting the ESC key; ; in that case the @extended macro will be setted to true Example() Func Example() ; Create an example GUI Local $hGui = GUICreate("Crop Demo", 220, 105, -1, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)) ; Create buttons Local $Crop = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start cropping", 10, 10, 200, 25) Local $Crop_hide_me = GUICtrlCreateButton("Hide me and crop", 10, 40, 200, 25) Local $Close = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 10, 70, 200, 25) ; Display the example GUI GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGui) Local $aSelection = 0, $bExtended = 0 ; Loop until the user exits.

hi @casi4711 the address "192.168.178" is incomplete and represents neither a range nor a single address. What address range do you intend to ping? For example, if you want to ping all addresses from 192.168.178.0 to 192.168.178.255 then you can use this range value "192.168.178.*" the asterisk indicates all possible values (0 to 255) for other possible examples of valid ranges take a look here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/156395-versatile-multi-ping

(??) should only return that message to you once. however the "Run" command requires the complete path of the program to be executed. You can try with "ShellExecute" instead of "Run"
