[JDog37]

Thank you reteset for the work you have put into this. As always you kick A#&!! :yes

[Dermot]

Excellent, works great. I really like SetHTM(), So much better than having to write it to a file and then load it.

[siray]

is it possible to save a website with "Web page complete" feature?

thanks :)

[RizlaUK]

nice work, i'll have a good test of this now, thanks reteset :yes

[reteset]

is it possible to save a website with "Web page complete" feature?

thanks :)

if you are talking about explorer's build-in feature
from main menu File >> SaveAs
this is possible :yes

but if you are talking about make it manually

it is a hard job :wow

thanks.

[ShadowUK]

A few bugs.

When you've gone back to the first page and you run Back() again it will popup an error.
When you've gone forward to the first page and run Forward() again it will popup an error.
Functions don't work on Preload, You have to use them on show.

[reteset]

thank you


When you've gone back to the first page and you run Back() again it will popup an error.
When you've gone forward to the first page and run Forward() again it will popup an error.

there is a On CmdButtons event that controls navigation buttons (back-forward)
On CmdButtons event enables & disables those buttons when necessary
although there is a control mechanism , it is a bug that must fixed
did you get any error with the example



Functions don't work on Preload, You have to use them on show.

this is not plugins fault ,because AMS does not (or can not) create object plugins until On Show fired
first AMS sets properties etc.. of plugin and creates then


i could not thank you for your nice graphic set.
you know, i have used your graphics in this example.
and it looks very cool

No problem, Also this is where the error happened.

[reteset]

as i mentioned above ,it is a simple problem
i have especially added On CmdButton event for that

for now , you can fix it easily

set initally disabled Hotspot2 and Hotspot3

and add following lines to On CmdButton event

if (e_Button == "BACK") then
Hotspot.SetProperties("Hotspot2", {Enabled = e_Enable});
end
if (e_Button == "FORWARD") then
Hotspot.SetProperties("Hotspot3", {Enabled = e_Enable});
end

this will automatically set enabled state of hotspots and
and do not let to user for a unwanted navigation

so if there is no way to go back or forward
this event automatically locks buttons or hotspots

[siray]

From Reteset:

this is possible

Thanks, Reteset. I used a save icon from your example to save a web page. But it just saving all text from a web page. Not including images :)

[reteset]

i am working on this plugin right now
and i added that now
you can use it with new version of plugin

thanks

[Imagine Programming]

Very nice plugin, but i get an error when i go to hotmail.com

error:

On Navigate, Line 0: unexpected symbol near `0'

[Dermot]

Works fine here, no error when using hotmail.com

[Imagine Programming]

Here is a screenshot, this is strange that you don't have this error.

[reteset]

thank you
this and other bug that ShodowUK reported were fixed
it is a NULL pointer bug

i should not release it before a full control
but i am working on lots of project at same time

also i have added very cool features to plugin

Command is one of them
with this , you can send a string to ams from a html page with a custom event On Command

for example :
<a href="Command:OpenAnAMSPopUp">Click Here To Set Application Properties</a>

this will trigger On Command event with
e_CommandString = "OpenAnAMSPopUp";

other features like below

On FileDownload event
Enable/disable file downloads
enable/disable navigation
On Popup event (in progress yet)
default cursor option (provided by IRPluginObject class)
enumerate IE favourites
import/export favourites
work online/ofline
and more...

todo list:

enable disable IE contex menu
get events from IE contex menu
remove border option seems impossible with known ways but i will not give up to add this feature
more control on page sources
and more..

note : new version of this plugin will be paid (commercial) with a low price

[RizlaUK]

On Popup event (in progress yet)

yes, this is the one iv been waiting for in AMS, i hate the lack of control the current IR web object has, On Popup event and some control over the ie contex menu IMO are vital to a web plugin

this is shaping up to be a super plugin and i will be one of the first in line for the final version, thanks for all your hard work reteset :yes

+1, this is very promising

[reteset]

New version is now available :yes
i am going to continue to release this plugin for free

this is not a stable release
this is a (BETA) Comment & Suggestions version

i could not work on this plugin for a while and i forgot same tasks on this plugin
so; i wanted to continue development of this plugin
with releasing what i did so far

What's New :


there are 18 new actions


there are 6 new object events


known bugs are fixed


On PopUp and On ContextMenu events are partly OK


please write your comments and suggestions for this plugin
i am going to improve this plugin with your ideas :yes

Notes :

unfotunately , this plugin is no longer work under Windows Xp (SP2) ;
reason : On PopUp event

there is no documentation yet but most of the actions are implemented in sample project

On Command event works same as i explained in my previous post

On PopUp event works only when a normal window opened
so ; javascript popups may not be blocked (will be availbe with next versions)
reason : if i block javascript popups ,a javascript error occurs

On ContexMenu fires only if plugin contains a html document
i am going to add e_MenuType event argument to this event
for separate contex menu types ( for example : default , text ,image)

You Can Download From Here (http://www.amsplugins.com/details.asp?ID=56&CID=2) (same as first post)

That's All for Now

Ignore him, I am pretty sure it is just spam.

[Imagine Programming]

Ignore him, I am pretty sure it is just spam.

Could be, but iFox was a little browserconcept made by ShadowUK i think. In that application he showed the "0" error in IExplorer object plugin.

I have tested it and its a good plugin and thanks way things are going i might be sticking around more offen if i can lol....:yes

[S0mbre]

At one of the member's request, I did that small example that uses simple Timer actions to autoscroll the IE object down and then up (only vertically), using the user-defined down_speed, up_speed, and step (pixels to scroll).

P.S. The example scrolls vertically, but given the same methods, you can easily modify it to scroll horizontally or in both directions. :)

Here it goes:

[jackdaniels]

thanks Reteset for this plugin :yes

[S0mbre]

Update:
Added some basic navigation functionality + resizable window. Some buttons inherited from Reteset's original example. Enjoy!

[reteset]

Thank you thank you thank you, this is exactly what i need :):):D

//Holland93

thank you too

i am glad to hear that it helps to people

also i am going to update it soon

i added a customizable notification bar to it, like IE's
i added a arg to autocomplete action for comboboxes
i fixed a bug setscrollpos action that was causing to a crash
note: these scroll related actions not working as expected (especially with new web sites)

i added a magical action for execute a javascript on current page
this will provide you a way to acces page source any time you want
for example you can add something to page content or remove without saving source to HD

or zoom-in zoom-out and everything else
you can make what javascript framework provides

but of course not all javascripts, this actions executes a javascript just in time
and does not add to page source

finally : this plugin is a Beta yet , even with new update

thanks to Jack Daniels for these suggestions

thanks to all

I can't download the plugin

Here you go.

[reteset]

I can't download the plugin

Site Moved ;

the web site is temporary off
because www.amsplugins.com growing day by day
there was disk space and other limitations with old server

i purhased a powerful hosting package for it and moved site content to it
i am waiting for new DNS settings activated

new version of IExplorer is ready ,i am going to update it then site up
also you will see more plugins and AMS examples at www.amsplugins.com
and site will accept user contributions (examples , dll , plugins ,etc ) soon

by the way it took more time than i expected (third day)

thanks.

[Imagine Programming]

Site Moved ;
thanks.

Lol don't thank us, we should thank you for your
dedication to the AMS users!

[reteset]

Upated

Version : 1.2.0.0 Beta

What's New :

1 : 4 new actions for control message bar (notification area like IE's)

MessageBarShow()
MessageBarSetColors()
MessageBarHide()
MessageBarIsVisible()

2 : an argument added to EnableAutoURLComplete() to be able to add autocomplete option to comboboxes

3 : some bugs fixed on scroll related actions (Note: these actions are not work on all web pages)
maybe can be useful with local files but not with global web sites

4 : new ExecuteJS() action added to be able to execute a javascript on current page

Note : you should load a document to plugin before execute a javascript so, you can not execute a javascript before On Navigated event

Here is an example for IExplorer.ExecuteJS()

script = [[
var answer = confirm ("would you like to visit IR forums now..?.")
if (answer)
window.location="http://www.indigorose.com/forums/"
]]

result = IExplorer.ExecuteJS("Plugin1", script);

return value of this action is a boolean and , it is true on succeed and false on failed

that's all for now

[Imagine Programming]

Excellent job reteset, again, thanks alot!

I like the IExplorer.ExecuteJS(), well done!

Hi! Suggestion: you can transform your IE Plugin into a Mozilla plugin, is very easy.

Using the IE patcher tool

IEPatcher is a tool to scan an executable or DLL and patch it to replace instances of the IE control with the Mozilla control. Since both controls are binary compatible, this is just a matter of replacing the CLSID_WebBrowser with CLSID_MozillaBrowser. If you have built the Mozilla browser, try running the patcher on an app that uses IE and see if it works!

IEPatcher Tool:
http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/iepatcher.zip

Mozilla ActiveX Control (from reactos project):
http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/reactos/MozillaControl1712-ReactOS.exe

Mozilla ActiveX Control (original source):
http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/MozillaControl1712.exe

Dependency Plugin for Mozilla ActiveX Control:
http://www.indigorose.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8182&stc=1&d=1245635348
(is my first dependency plugin done right now, so a review is needed)

References:
http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/control.htm


Note: is not possible to apply the Mozilla patch in your iexplorer.apo 1.0 because it is protected with PECompact v2.0. In my tests, the Mozilla patch works fine with the original Autoplay IE Object.

[MicroByte]

sounds pretty cool, but does it work and has it been tested with AMS

[reteset]

Note: is not possible to apply the Mozilla patch in your iexplorer.apo 1.0 because it is protected with PECompact v2.0. In my tests, the Mozilla patch works fine with the original Autoplay IE Object.

this will not work with IExplorer Plugin even if it is not compressed
because this plugin uses IE specific procedures

For Example:

IHTMLElement2 *pElement = NULL;
hr = pBody->QueryInterface(IID_IHTMLElement2,(void**)&pElement);

Hi! Sorry, maybe I was too optimistic...

Did you tested the patch with the mozilla control installed in your system?
I think that will work at least partially, but I'm not sure. Can you confirm it, please?

Anyway, thanks a lot: with your IExplorer Plugin now is possible to patch win32rt.dat and build Apps with both IE and MOZ options (it's working fine).

[boku]

Thanks for a great free plugin, however, I have checked your site and seen


This Plugin Does Not Work Under Windows Xp (SP2)


Is this really the case? What about SP3?

Hey everyone :)

I'm trying to use the IExporer plugin to load a local html file, but when I do i'm getting a "Page cannot be found" error. I uploaded the same file to a server, and it opened fine!

Are there any bugs or workarounds that I need to do in order to run a local html file?

Btw, this file has lots of javascript in it...would that cause a problem?

you sould provide a valid local file path (Full)

Like Below:

"C:\\YourFolder\\YourSubFolder\\YourHtmlDoc.html"

OR

_SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\YourHtmlDoc.html"

Excelent Plugin, congratulations.

I only want say, that if you could, put in this plugin:
IExplorer.Cut
IExplorer.Copy
IExplorer.Paste
IExplorer.Select [not all]
IExplorer.Open

this is kind of things that i think you could put :D

because there are lots of variations for all versions of internet explorer
i am going to disable this option ,
it also does not work on WindowsXP for some cases

when vieuwing a intranet webpage, my app through your plugin I get following popup


Using IE on the same PC (XPsp2), doesn't give me this error.
in preferences for IE Script debugging is disabled, also the notification for every script error is disabled

I guess this is a bad coded script on the page, and I couldn't care less !
(just some stupid floating menu missing)
but is there any way continuing running scripts,
without this annoying pop-up ? showing ...

This still is one :cool Plugin, I must say :yes

[jassing]

I got a "not licensed" error when saved as an apz and then moved to another computer...

yes it is a annoying problem
this plugin is a container that contains your current internet explorer ActiveX
and this is not related with the plugin itself


there are various workarounds for this issue by plugin
but none of them work perfect and i am going to add an action to avoid this problem when i find a good solution

you can also use ExecuteJS() action to block javascript errors
there are various javascripts on JS web sites which block javascript errors
you can use one of them in OnNavigated event

[reteset]

I got a "not licensed" error when saved as an apz and then moved to another computer...

for to be able to compile your project
you need to install plugin to target computer too

APZ documents do not contain plugin instalition nor licence information
an ams plugin needs a *.lic file to be able to compile your project even if plugin is free

for this case it is a empty IExplorer.lic file and
plugin & lic file should be installed in to
PROGRAM_FILES\AutoPlay Media Studio 7.0\Plugins\Objects\IExplorer

allthough following Javascript in the OnNavigated solved my problem for now :D
function noError(){return true;} window.onerror = noError;

This does what I wanted: Show web content without the borders around it, but now I'm stuck with a scrollbar on the right, although the displayed page is smaller than the frame, so it shouldn't need a scrollbar.
Any way to remove the scrollbars?

Try that in your html page;
