Automating IE Inside a JExplorer

[kkleinfelter]

I need to automate an IE window hosted inside a JExplorer process. wbGet doesn't find it. How can I get a wb object for an IE hosted inside a JExplorer?

To provide some background, we have lots of Java Web Start applications. Java executes them in a JP2Launcher.exe process. When these Java apps need to present a web page, they use JExplorer to provide them with access to the native (non-Java) platform. JExplorer hosts an IE panel. Right-click and View Source on that panel shows an ordinary web page.

I need to locate two fields and a button within that panel, fill in the fields, and click the button. The x,y of the fields varies, based on how much text gets displayed before them, so I can't just click and type. I need to use IE COM automation to populate them and submit the form.

AU3_Spy sees a window title, ahk_class is SunAwtFrame. The "Now Under Mouse Cursor" section shows ClassNN is "Internet Explorer_Server2". There is no window text or hidden window text.

Please help me figure out how to COM automate this nested IE.
TIA
