Thanks Ian, I will look into it...I want to keep things as simple as possible. So I will try first assigning the bitmap bits to a bitmap for the imagelist one at the time first and see how that goes.

How to distinguish between VISTA and XP by using a registry key?

Hello,

Do you know any registry key that says which Operating System we are using?

Thanks! D'Oh! | :doh:

Why bother reading the registry when there is an API call that retrieves that information? GetVersionEx[^]

MFC Application in Different Resolution

I have a mfc application that i run with different resolution. So i want to change size of controls as resolutions rate.
When the resolution increases, size of controls and font must increase with same rate between new and old resolution. please tell me how to make it simply. Thanks Smile | :)

You can use of WM_SIZE and MoveWindow or SetWindowPos.

There are loads of articles on codeproject that relate to this.

They're aimed at windows that change size as the user drags the edges with the mouse, but that's no different in principle.

If you mean the dpi changes, then you can MapDialogRect to make your app like a dialog box, and change size proportional to DPI.

Why do IWebBrowser2::Navigate2 return E_FAIL?

Couldn't get any input from the "Mobile Development" board, so now I turn to the COM giants here Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

The docs on this are sparse, to say the least...

My problem: I'm trying to embed a WebBrowser object in a Windows Mobile application. I can create it and query its size and window handle, but IWebBrowser2::Navigate2 fails with E_FAIL.

Can anyone give me any hints to why it fails?

Code (yes, C++):

My host control is declared like this:

class HtmlControl : public Window // Window wraps an HWND.
{
public:
	HtmlControl(HWND window)
	: Window(window)
	, iOleObject_(NULL)
	{
		iOleSite_.host = this;
		iOleFrame_.host = this;
		CreateWebControl();
	}

	Site iOleSite_;
	Frame iOleFrame_;
	IOleObject* iOleObject_;              // The WeBrowser object.

private:
	void CreateWebControl();
};

Where Site and Frame are declared like this:

struct Site : public IOleClientSite,
              public IOleInPlaceSite
{
	HtmlControl* host;

	// IUnknown
	STDMETHODIMP QueryInterface(REFIID riid, void** ppvObject);
	STDMETHODIMP_(ULONG) AddRef();
	STDMETHODIMP_(ULONG) Release();
	
	// IOleClientSite
	STDMETHODIMP SaveObject();
	STDMETHODIMP GetMoniker(DWORD dwAssign, DWORD dwWhichMoniker,
	                        IMoniker** ppmk);
	STDMETHODIMP GetContainer(LPOLECONTAINER FAR* ppContainer);
	STDMETHODIMP ShowObject();
	STDMETHODIMP OnShowWindow(BOOL fShow);
	STDMETHODIMP RequestNewObjectLayout();
	
	// IOleWindow
	STDMETHODIMP GetWindow(HWND FAR* lphwnd);
	STDMETHODIMP ContextSensitiveHelp(BOOL fEnterMode);
	
	// IOleInPlaceSite methods
	STDMETHODIMP CanInPlaceActivate();
	STDMETHODIMP OnInPlaceActivate();
	STDMETHODIMP OnUIActivate();
	STDMETHODIMP GetWindowContext(LPOLEINPLACEFRAME FAR* lplpFrame,
	                              LPOLEINPLACEUIWINDOW FAR* lplpDoc,
	                              LPRECT lprcPosRect,
	                              LPRECT lprcClipRect,
	                              LPOLEINPLACEFRAMEINFO lpFrameInfo);
	STDMETHODIMP Scroll(SIZE scrollExtent);
	STDMETHODIMP OnUIDeactivate(BOOL fUndoable);
	STDMETHODIMP OnInPlaceDeactivate();
	STDMETHODIMP DiscardUndoState();
	STDMETHODIMP DeactivateAndUndo();
	STDMETHODIMP OnPosRectChange(LPCRECT lprcPosRect);
};

struct Frame : public IOleInPlaceFrame
{
	HtmlControl* host;

	// IUnknown
	STDMETHODIMP QueryInterface(REFIID riid, void** ppvObject);
	STDMETHODIMP_(ULONG) AddRef();
	STDMETHODIMP_(ULONG) Release();
	
	// IOleWindow
	STDMETHODIMP GetWindow(HWND FAR* lphwnd);
	STDMETHODIMP ContextSensitiveHelp(BOOL fEnterMode);
	
	// IOleInPlaceUIWindow
	STDMETHODIMP GetBorder(LPRECT lprectBorder);
	STDMETHODIMP RequestBorderSpace(LPCBORDERWIDTHS pborderwidths);
	STDMETHODIMP SetBorderSpace(LPCBORDERWIDTHS pborderwidths);
	STDMETHODIMP SetActiveObject(IOleInPlaceActiveObject* pActiveObject,
	                             LPCOLESTR pszObjName);
	
	// IOleInPlaceFrame
	STDMETHODIMP InsertMenus(HMENU hmenuShared,
	                         LPOLEMENUGROUPWIDTHS lpMenuWidths);
	STDMETHODIMP SetMenu(HMENU hmenuShared, HOLEMENU holemenu,
	                     HWND hwndActiveObject);
	STDMETHODIMP RemoveMenus(HMENU hmenuShared);
	STDMETHODIMP SetStatusText(LPCOLESTR pszStatusText);
	STDMETHODIMP EnableModeless(BOOL fEnable);
	STDMETHODIMP TranslateAccelerator(LPMSG lpmsg, WORD wID);
};

The implementations of Site and Frame will be provided if needed, so that this space isn't cluttered too much.

So, the interesting function here is HtmlControl::CreateWebControl(). Let's walk it through, so that the possible strangeness of the IWebBrowser2::Navigate2 failure can be better seen.

First, an instance of the WebBrowser COM object is created and its associated IOleObject is retrieved:

IUnknown* iUnknown = NULL;
HRESULT hr = ::CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WebBrowser,
                                NULL,
                                CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER | CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER,
                                IID_IUnknown,
                                (void*)(&iUnknown));
VERIFY(SUCCEEDED(hr));

hr = iUnknown->QueryInterface(IID_IOleObject, (void*)(&iOleObject_));
VERIFY(SUCCEEDED(hr));

These operations were all successful in the sense that hr == S_OK.

After getting the WebControl object, I want to show/activate it using our IOleClientSite implementation:

hr = iOleObject_->SetClientSite(&iOleSite_);
VERIFY(SUCCEEDED(hr));

const RECT rect = GetClientRect();
hr = iOleObject_->DoVerb(OLEIVERB_SHOW, NULL, &iOleSite_, 0, GetHwnd(), &rect);
VERIFY(SUCCEEDED(hr));

These operations were also successful in the sense that hr == S_OK. However, the end result (the IWebBrowser2::Navigate2 failure) occurs also if OLEIVERB_SHOW is changed to OLEIVERB_UIACTIVATE or OLEIVERB_INPLACEACTIVATE.

Next, I dig the IWebBrowser2 out of the WebControl object and checks if the browser HWND is sane:

IWebBrowser2* iWebBrowser = NULL;
hr = iOleObject_->QueryInterface(IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**)&iWebBrowser);
VERIFY(SUCCEEDED(hr));

// Get browser HWND, method	1.
HWND hwndBrowser = NULL;
hr = iWebBrowser->get_HWND((long*)&hwndBrowser);
VERIFY(SUCCEEDED(hr));
VERIFY(hwndBrowser != NULL);
VERIFY(::GetParent(hwndBrowser) == GetHwnd());

// Get browser HWND, method	2.
IOleWindow* iOleWindow = NULL;
hr = iOleObject_->QueryInterface(IID_IOleWindow, (void*)(&iOleWindow));
VERIFY(SUCCEEDED(hr));

hwndBrowser = NULL;
hr = iOleWindow->GetWindow(&hwndBrowser);
VERIFY(hwndBrowser != NULL);
VERIFY(::GetParent(hwndBrowser) == GetHwnd());

Again, these operations were successful in the sense that hr == S_OK. Also, the browser HWND is equal in both method 1 and 2 and its parent is indeed our host control. I see this as some kind of indication that something works.

But... the thing I need doesn't work; the precious IWebBrowser2::Navigate2:

VARIANT vURL;
vURL.vt = VT_BSTR;
vURL.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"about:blank");

VARIANT vEmpty;
vEmpty.vt = VT_EMPTY;

hr = iWebBrowser->Navigate2(&vURL, &vEmpty, &vEmpty, &vEmpty, &vEmpty);
VERIFY(SUCCEEDED(hr));

Now I get hr == E_FAIL.

I cannot really see the problem, since everything up to this point worked successfully, and the last call seems trivial.

Is anyone still around all the way down here with some guess as to what might be going on?

Thanks for any input!

There's a article here on how to host the web browser via C code and the author does an *EXCELLENT* job of walking you through exactly what has to happen - try and look for that, maybe it will off you hints as to what's missing.

hi I need to write a program that needs to "steel" the data that appers on a control box of a diffrent program.
I saw how the SPY programs here are built but they all need a user interface to point to that control.
I want to go throgh all the process that are running and check if what i want is there and then get it's handle.
Visual studio spy++ does something like that. but how???
please help me i am trying to fins a solution for a long time.

i want i program that will tell me what is the value in the calculator(for example) text box. the UI shouls be output only.

the way i thought of doing this was to go through all the process and when i reach to right one check it's window handle's. but i don't how to get the process's list and how to get the handles from the process.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
