Thanks for the link.
Actually I had hit the page too, but I didn't read it carefully, just scanned the tables about the mention of (Raw) HTML... |

Yes, that was my thought too. I already told AGU that it can be done on keypress now. About easines, wrappers provide the same easines as integrated controls, at least for me.

Great stuff, but haven't been able to read thru the new posts yet.
I tried adding multiple controls to an AHK-Gui, and succeeded in adding multiple Internet Explorer controls (great for a tabbed-browser), but cannot get the Mozilla ActiveX control to work anymore...
Anybody?
Download (includes Mozilla ActiveX) (~ 6MB zipped)
Run registerMozAx.ahk once, to register the Mozilla ActiveX, then try MultipleBrowserControlTest.ahk.
The first control should be a Mozilla control, the second an Internet Explorer control. But apparently they are both Internet Explorer.
I modified the #include file (Gui_BrwsControl.ahk) to feed it the instance of the control and did some other changes.
Please check what goes wrong.

I don't really want to install ActiveX for Mozilla/Firefox.
Fortunately, however, there is a way to peek into it without actually installing it, thanks to oleview/tlb.
The TypeLib is resident in mozctl.dll, and to my surprise, it just implemented WebBrowser controls provided by MS, i.e., identical to that of IE.
So, there seems to be no reason/benefit to use it over that of IE. |

I changed the prefix from Gui_IE to IE_.
And, I dropped the last (url) parameter from IE_Add().
BTW, I'd like to hear opinions about whether the variable pwb should be kept as Global or not. |

If possible, it would be good to have as little Global variables as possible. Did you check the code from my multiple browser controls script? I added an index to be able to differentiate between multiple controls. This meant I had to add extra Global vars (pwb1, pwb2, hCtrl1, hCtrl2), which is cumbersome, since adding more controls would require an extra pair of Global vars.

Sean, drop the global.
You should use handle as a parameter to each function as I did with HiEdit. This allows multiple controls to be created and manipualted.

This is good.
I think you should not support Mozilla. FF fans can do it themselves. IE control is not ment to be used as a browser anyway, but as a handy way to represent data using html or visit hardoced pages for script news etc..
Other notes
- Post your control at autothotkey.net and link to it. That way filename will be suggested and you will easier maintain thread starter.
- Instad wrapper, just post current API as I did in the wiki. This allows users to see what's in in consize way, not by reading the control source.
- You can post short example of usage, again, you have it at wiki or you can post more advanced one (or anybody else wiling to do it).

Yes, that was the main reason why I was asking. It's cumbersome to use with multiple instances.
And, personally I don't like to have it as global. |

Since the Mozilla ActiveX control requires almost if not exactly the same COM code, it would be nice and easy to create the BrowserControlLib to support both. That would prevent reusing existing code for both possibilities (Internet Explorer or Mozilla ActiveX).
I'll continue trying controlling the Mozilla ActiveX. Maybe dealing with multiple controls and prevent the use of Global vars could be handled in the meantime.

I can't really tell if it'll solve the issue, but, would you try after replacing
| Code: | GUID4String(CLSID_WebBrowser, "{1339B54C-3453-11D2-93B9-000000000000}")
GUID4String(CLSID_WebBrowser, "{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}") |
to
| Code: | CLSID_WebBrowser := "{1339B54C-3453-11D2-93B9-000000000000}"
CLSID_WebBrowser := "{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}" |
You may replace IID_IWebBrowser2 too like
| Code: | | IID_IWebBrowser2 := "{D30C1661-CDAF-11D0-8A3E-00C04FC9E26E}" |

I can't move it directly, but I can just quote it here: | daonlyfreez @15 May 2007 09:24 am wrote: | True, the developer created an interface that equals the calling scheme of that of the Internet Explorer control, therefore it should be trivial to use as a possible replacement for Internet Explorer.
The Mozilla ActiveX was only supposed to be an alternative if Internet Explorer is not installed, not as a required download. Yet, still I would like to be able to get it to work  |

I updated IEControl.ahk (:this thread) and CoHelper.ahk.
As they're not thoroughly tested, please report back if meets a problem.
Thanks. |

Great!
Thanks to your instructions, I could get the Mozilla ActiveX to work in the meantime 
Will check out your updated code, and adapt mine.
