If you need to automate IE8, popup windows, then read this article
Window structure go like this:
Frame Tab,
TabWindowClass,
Shell DocObject View,
Internet Explorer_Server.
So, code would go something like this:
var
Wnd: HWND;
WndChild: HWND;
IE: iwebbrowser2;
begin
webBrowser.Quit;
try
Wnd := FindWindow('IEFrame', nil);
if Wnd = 0 then //No running instance of Internet Explorer so stop!
begin
showmessage('No Running instance of Internet Explorer');
exit;
end;
WndChild := FindWindowEX(Wnd , 0, 'Frame Tab', nil);
Wnd := FindWindowEX(WndChild, 0, 'TabWindowClass', nil);
Wnd := FindWindowEX(Wnd, 0, 'Shell DocObject View', nil);
Wnd := FindWindowEX(Wnd, 0, 'Internet Explorer_Server', nil);
if Wnd <> 0 then
begin
GetIEFromHWnd(Wnd, IE); //Get Iwebbrowser2 from Handle
Result := IE;
end;
except
on e: Exception do
ShowMessage('GetIE' + e.Message);
end;
end
function .GetIEFromHWND(WHandle: HWND; var IE: IWebbrowser2): HRESULT;
var
hInst: HWND;
lRes: Cardinal;
MSG: Integer;
pDoc: IHTMLDocument2;
ObjectFromLresult: TObjectFromLresult;
begin
hInst := LoadLibrary('Oleacc.dll');
@ObjectFromLresult := GetProcAddress(hInst, 'ObjectFromLresult');
if @ObjectFromLresult <> nil then
begin
try
MSG := RegisterWindowMessage('WM_HTML_GETOBJECT');
SendMessageTimeOut(WHandle, MSG, 0, 0, SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG, 1000, lRes);
Result := ObjectFromLresult(lRes, IHTMLDocument2, 0, pDoc);
if Result = S_OK then
(pDoc.parentWindow as IServiceprovider).QueryService(IWebbrowserApp, IWebbrowser2, IE);
finally
FreeLibrary(hInst);
end;
end;
end;
I was using myCatch, to get windows structure.
This code which I left here is just to give you idea, I hope that soon I will upload example of automation IE6, IE7 and IE8...
