IEHtmlWin and embedding webpage on wxWindows

[Sun]

Hi,

I have to embed a web page in a wxWinodw, i tried to use wxHTML but it doesn't support external link, like http://...

I tried to use wxIEHtmlWin, but i cant compile its files, i get some errors like

Code: Select all

IID_IServiceProvider undeclared (first use this function)

I use wxDev-c++, latest wxWidgets libs.

I cannot use wxMozilla because not every windows user has it..

Thanks for any suggestion

Hi, i know nothing about wxIEHtmlWin but i know where is defined IID_IServiceProvider. Do you have Windows SDK? If not, get it free from www.microsoft.com.
Include this line:

Code: Select all

#include <ServProv.h>

Finally i success to embed an IE Window in my wxApp.

I have another question... What about wxIEHtml events ? ie how to catch an user-clickonlink event ?

Same question. Have you managed to capture the event?

[Sun]

yes, there's a sample code:

Code: Select all

EVT_ACTIVEX(ID_WXIEHTMLWIN1, DISPID_BEFORENAVIGATE2, Frame::WxIEHtmlWinNavigateBegin)


void Frame::WxIEHtmlWinNavigateBegin(wxActiveXEvent& event)
{
   wxMessageBox(event["Url"]);
   event["Cancel"] = true;
   //...
 
}

yes, there's a sample code:

Code: Select all

EVT_ACTIVEX(ID_WXIEHTMLWIN1, DISPID_BEFORENAVIGATE2, Frame::WxIEHtmlWinNavigateBegin)


void Frame::WxIEHtmlWinNavigateBegin(wxActiveXEvent& event)
{
   wxMessageBox(event["Url"]);
   event["Cancel"] = true;
   //...
 
}

Thanks for your reply. However I got an error message "error C2065: 'LDISPID_BEFORENAVIGATE2' : undeclared identifier". My question is where did you get the DISIP for activex event?

i've searched a little while.
You can also use strings like "DocumentComplete" or "ProgressChange"

Code: Select all

EVT_ACTIVEX(ID_WXIEHTMLWIN1, "ProgressChange", ...)

Thank you so much.

This one works. But I'm wondering how do you get the event id or event name. If I can find these info I can get whatever event I want.

[zhouhao]

Now I know all the info is in exdisp.h and exdispid.h. The exdisp.h is created by MIDL compiler. My next question is how to generate .h files from ocx. Because ie browser is microsoft's product, so its platform sdk comes with a exdisp.h. If I want to use flash.ocx for example, how can I generate .h file? I know COM/OLE viewer utility can generate a idl file. But when I use midl to compile the idl file, it only generated a tlh file which is not I want. If there a way to generate a .h file so I can use it to call method in flash.ocx like wxIEHtmlWin does?

Hi,
i don't know exactly, but a long time ago i had used M$ excel in my c++ project. I did:

Code: Select all

#import <mso9.dll> no_namespace

i suppose you can try the next:

Code: Select all

#import <flash.ocx> no_namespace

in your *.cpp file, that will generate two include files.

Thank you so much. I managed to generate .h file by using midl and compile my application successfully. Now it can load and play flash already.

But your method works too. And I think it's better because I don't need to generate the idl and create .h file by myself.

I'll try to capture event from flash and send command to it. If this works,I'll post my code as a simple wxFlashWin.

Thank you for your help agian.

I got some more problems to play flash. Maybe this is not the right place to ask. But I'm using wxWidgets and I don't know whether other forum provide help or not. So I post my question here.

Inside flash9b.tlh file, the event declaration is like:

Code: Select all

struct __declspec(uuid("d27cdb6d-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"))
_IShockwaveFlashEvents : IDispatch
{
    //
    // Wrapper methods for error-handling
    //

    // Methods:
    HRESULT OnReadyStateChange (
        long newState );
    HRESULT OnProgress (
        long percentDone );
    HRESULT FSCommand (
        _bstr_t command,
        _bstr_t args );
    HRESULT FlashCall (
        _bstr_t request );
};

In my program:

Code: Select all

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(testflashPanel, MainPanel)
	EVT_ACTIVEX(ID_FLASH_WIN, "OnReadyStateChange", testflashPanel::onReadyStateChange)
	EVT_ACTIVEX(ID_FLASH_WIN, "FSCommand", testflashPanel::onFSCommand)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

The first event is captured in my program without any problem. But I can't capthure "FSCommand" event although the ActionScript sending "FSCommand" is correct. Furthermore I found the buttons in flash doesn't work either. I guess this maybe the cause I can't capture "FSCommand" event. If I open the flash with wxIEHtmlWin, it seems the flash works properly. All the buttons response correctly. I don't know what I missed in my coding. Here is the code to load and play the flash.

Code: Select all

void wxFlashWin::loadFlash(const wxString& file,bool loop)
{
	VARIANT_BOOL b = loop?VARIANT_TRUE:VARIANT_FALSE;
	m_flashInterface->put_Loop(b);
	m_flashInterface->put_Movie((BSTR)(const wchar_t *)file.wc_str(wxConvLocal));
	m_flashInterface->Play();
}

Can anybody advise?

Thanks[/code]

The funnest thing is normal animation is ok for the flash. But any flash with buttons got problems. Even animation stops working if there is any buttons included. I've tested the flash by using wxIEHtmlWin without any problems. So that means there must be something wrong in the container. But what could be wrong? I have no clue at all.
