Internet Explorer - mIRC Discussion Forums

I know in C++ "Internet_Explorer_Server" hwnd's can be created.

My question is, if I capture the HWND of one of these windows, how would I direct commands to it, like sending urls, etc.

I guess you could get the hwnd of the url editbox using GetDlgItem(), then use SendMessage() to send the WM_KEYDOWN message with the url.

I'm new to api programming so you probably can't do that, but that's my guess.

it's not internet explorer. It's an hwnd with pretty much browser functionality. The class is "Internet_Explorer_Server"

i think it's a webbrowser control. Anyone know how to send navigation commands?

ok, I've learned that "Internet Explorer_Server" like that, is an IE instance.

It is controlable through the IE_server window, and the Shell DocObject View window with WM_COMMAND

There are several Command IDs, listed here: http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/torry/showcode.php?id=2231
and here: http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/internet/generalinternet/article.php/c8163/

However, none to navigate/open a website. Does anyone know how to get context menu IDs for the "File->Open" in Internet explorer, or know of a command ID to do so?

me again *waves*

heres some code to digest and figure out why its not navigating:

Code:

   HWND web = FindWindowEx(shelldoc,NULL,"Internet Explorer_Server",NULL);


	  HINSTANCE hInst = ::LoadLibrary( _T("OLEACC.DLL") );

CComPtr&lt;IHTMLDocument2&gt; spDoc;
	LRESULT lRes;

		UINT nMsg = ::RegisterWindowMessage( _T("WM_HTML_GETOBJECT") );
				::SendMessageTimeout( web, nMsg, 0L, 0L, SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG, 1000, (DWORD*)&amp;lRes );

				LPFNOBJECTFROMLRESULT pfObjectFromLresult = (LPFNOBJECTFROMLRESULT)::GetProcAddress( hInst, _T("ObjectFromLresult") );
				if ( pfObjectFromLresult != NULL )
				{
					HRESULT hr;
					hr = (*pfObjectFromLresult)( lRes, IID_IHTMLDocument, 0, (void**)&amp;spDoc );
					if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) )
					{
						CComPtr&lt;IDispatch&gt; spDisp;
						CComQIPtr&lt;IHTMLWindow2&gt; spWin;
						spDoc-&gt;get_Script( &amp;spDisp );
						spWin = spDisp;
						spWin-&gt;get_document( &amp;spDoc.p );
						// Change background color to red
				//		spDoc-&gt;put_bgColor( CComVariant("red") );
						spWin-&gt;navigate((BSTR)"http://www.mirc.com");
					}
				}
::FreeLibrary( hInst );
	CoUninitialize();

got all my problems fixed!
