Writes to ActiveX using HTMLFile are continually appended

[elmo]

All of this code works

Code: Select all

; add to gui
Gui , Add , ActiveX , x8 y8 w128 h128 vguiThisHTML , HTMLFile

However, if I call the "SUB" Label three (3) times, then the displayed ActiveX browser will stack all three (3) instances of the displayHTML variable.

Code: Select all

SUB:
; write contents of "displayHTML" var to ActiveX object
guiThisHTML.write(displayHTML)
return

How can I empty the ActiveX object before writing into it again?
Thanks for any help.

iirc, .open() before writing and .close() afterward.

[elmo]

Thank you lexikos,

I will try that method and report the result.

[elmo]

Yes, thank you again, that worked perfectly.

I've also discovered your amazing installer.ahk and can see where you used these methods with shell.explorer and the .document element.

Code: Select all

wb.Document.open()
wb.Document.write(html)
wb.Document.Close()
