This is a standard library for IE/WebBrowser controls.

REDIRECT. IE.ahk is now retired. Code it using COM Standard Library.

Brilliant!

I found out that the Mozilla ActiveX can very easily be used too...



Just make sure you register the mozctlx.dll first...



This is very good... Now one could use IE as default and add/download the Mozilla ActiveX if necessary.

I modified it to accommodate UrlHistory. Please copy it again.

Thanks a million for this. I think many AHK developers will find embedding a browser into their application useful.

The new COM implementation more accurately grabs the Current URL via Gui_IEGetURL() - using lbbrowse3.dll I had mixed results...

One somewhat major problem I'm experiencing using the latest CoHelper.ahk and this new IE4AHK COM code is that the main scroll bar doesn't appear, and you can't use pageup/pagedown/arrowup/arrowdown to move arround inside the page.

Another smaller issue that exists in both versions of IE4AHK is that the enter key doesnt properly focus. For example, go to google.com by typing the address into the address bar. You have to click the 'Google Search' button, since enter just reloads the page.

Both of these problems exist with the latest version of AHK, IE4AHK, using IE 6.0.2900.2180 on XP SP2.

Thanks a lot for contributing this great work back to the AHK community.

I think this part is easy to correct. I updated the script. The only change is:

Thanks Sean, this fixed the scroll bar issues.

I modified the script using indirections like Shell.Explorer and IID_IDispatch.
Although there is no difference in features, I recommend updating to it.

Good program. Bat. I can't open any internet address. Please Help

vicek - IE4AHK will use your IE connection settings, so if one works so should the other Maybe temporarily disabling your software firewall will help.

Sean - I'd really like to see a New > Window button in the IE4AHK interface. This opens a new window, but without spawning another process. Do you know of a way to do this with COM? I can post some GUI code for adding the button.

It looks like not a COM problem, may be done by creating another GUI and start a new WebControl. Store them as (pweb1, hCtrol1), (pweb2, hCtrl2), etc and switch (pweb, hCtrl) to appropriate one among them whenever one of the GUI's becomes active.
Or, might simulate multi-tab features by creating multi WebControls in a single GUI, however, I'm not sure if there will be no glitch at all.

Graphics button can't read my screenreader. I open any web page, but i can't read this. I'm blind. I Programming in autohotkey, but I can't programming any graphics button. Thank.

I updated the script as to now depend solely on pwb, no need to save hCtrl separately which is now derived from pwb.
So, if using multiple WebControls, only need to store pwb1, pwb2, etc.
I may add further a function to reverse the process, i.e. retrieving pwb from hCtrl if there is a demand.
