Automated IE SaveAs MHTML

Introduction

The purpose of this article is to show how to automate the fully fledged Save As HTML feature from Internet Explorer, which is normally hidden to those using the Internet Explorer API. Saving the current document as MHTML format is just one of the options available, including:

Save As MHTML (whole web page, images, ... in a single file)
Save As Full HTML (additional folder for images, ...)
Save HTML code only
Save As Text

Saving Silently as HTML Using the Internet Explorer API

In fact, the ability to save the current web page for storage without showing a single dialog box is already available to everyone under C++, using the following code, with an important restriction:

LPDISPATCH lpDispatch = NULL;
IPersistFile *lpPersistFile = NULL;

// m_ctrl is an instance of the Web Browser control

lpDispatch = m_ctrl.get_Document();
lpDispatch->QueryInterface(IID_IPersistFile, (void**)&lpPersistFile);

lpPersistFile->Save(L"c:\\htmlpage.html",0);
lpPersistFile->Release();
lpDispatch->Release();

(caption for code above) Saving HTML code only, without dialog boxes

The restriction is that we are talking about the HTML code only, not the web page. Of course, what is interesting is to gain access to full HTML archives with images and so on.

Because there is no "public" or known way to ask for this feature without showing one or more dialog boxes from Internet Explorer, what we are going to do is hook the operating system to listen all window creations, including the dialog boxes. Then we'll ask Internet Explorer for the feature and override the file path from the dialog boxes without being seen. Finally, we'll mimic the user clicking on the Save button to validate the dialog box and unhook ourselves. That's done!

Hooking Internet Explorer to Save As HTML without popping the dialog boxes

This was the short workflow, but there are a few tricks to get along and this article is a unique opportunity to go into detail. By the way, the code is rooted by an article from MS about how to customize Internet Explorer Printing by hooking the Print dialog boxes; see here or here. In our app, we have our own Save As feature:

m_wbSaveAs.Config( CString("c:\\htmlpage.mhtml"), SAVETYPE_ARCHIVE );
m_wbSaveAs.SaveAs();

// where the second parameter is the type of HTML needed :

typedef enum _SaveType
{
    SAVETYPE_HTMLPAGE = 0,
    SAVETYPE_ARCHIVE,
    SAVETYPE_HTMLONLY,
    SAVETYPE_TXTONLY
} SaveType;

We start the SaveAs() implementation by installing the hook:

// prepare SaveAs Dialog hook

//

g_hHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CBT, CbtProc, NULL, GetCurrentThreadId());
if (!g_hHook)
    return false;

// make SaveAs Dialog appear

//

// cmd = OLECMDID_SAVEAS (see ./include/docobj.h)

g_bSuccess = false;
g_pWebBrowserSaveAs = this;
HRESULT hr = m_pWebBrowser->ExecWB(OLECMDID_SAVEAS, 
    OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, NULL, NULL);

// remove hook

UnhookWindowsHookEx(g_hHook);
g_pWebBrowserSaveAs = NULL;
g_hHook = NULL;

The hook callback procedure is just hardcore code; see for yourself:

LRESULT CALLBACK CSaveAsWebbrowser::CbtProc(int nCode, 
    WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) 
{  
    // the windows hook sees for each new window being created :

    // - HCBT_CREATEWND : when the window is about to be created

    //      we check out if it is a dialog box (classid = 0x00008002, 

    //      see Spy++)

    //      and we hide it, likely to be the IE SaveAs dialog

    // - HCBT_ACTIVATE : when the window itself gets activited

    //      we run a separate thread, and let IE do his own init steps in 

    //      the mean time

    switch (nCode)
    {
        case HCBT_CREATEWND:
        {
            HWND hWnd = (HWND)wParam;
            LPCBT_CREATEWND pcbt = (LPCBT_CREATEWND)lParam;
            LPCREATESTRUCT pcs = pcbt->lpcs;
            if ((DWORD)pcs->lpszClass == 0x00008002)
            {
                g_hWnd = hWnd;          // Get hwnd of SaveAs dialog

                pcs->x = -2 * pcs->cx;  // Move dialog off screen

            }
            break;
        }    
        case HCBT_ACTIVATE:
        {
            HWND hwnd = (HWND)wParam;
            if (hwnd == g_hWnd)
            {
                g_hWnd = NULL;
                g_bSuccess = true;

                if (g_pWebBrowserSaveAs->IsSaveAsEnabled())
                {
                    g_pWebBrowserSaveAs->SaveAsDisable();

                    CSaveAsThread *newthread = new CSaveAsThread();
                    newthread->SetKeyWnd(hwnd);
                    newthread->Config( g_pWebBrowserSaveAs->GetFilename(), 
                        g_pWebBrowserSaveAs->GetSaveAsType() );
                    newthread->StartThread();
                }
            }
            break;
        }
    }
    return CallNextHookEx(g_hHook, nCode, wParam, lParam); 
}

In our thread, we wait until the Internet Explorer Save As dialog is ready with filled data:

switch(    ::WaitForSingleObject( m_hComponentReadyEvent, m_WaitTime) )
{
     ...
     if ( ::IsWindowVisible(m_keyhwnd) )
     {
         bSignaled = TRUE;
         bContinue = FALSE;
     }

     MSG msg ;
     while( PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE) )
     {
         if (msg.message == WM_QUIT)
         {
              bContinue = FALSE ;
              break ;
         }
         TranslateMessage(&msg);
         DispatchMessage(&msg);
     }
     ...
}

// relaunch our SaveAs class, but now everything is ready to play with

if (bSignaled)
{
    CSaveAsWebbrowser surrenderNow;
    surrenderNow.Config( GetFilename(), GetSaveAsType() );
    surrenderNow.UpdateSaveAs( m_keyhwnd );
}

// kill the thread, we don't care anymore about it

delete this;

We can now override the appropriate data:

void CSaveAsWebbrowser::UpdateSaveAs(HWND hwnd)
{
    // editbox : filepath (control id = 0x047c)

    // dropdown combo : filetypes (options=complete page;

    //     archive;html only;txt) (control id = 0x0470)

    // save button : control id = 0x0001

    // cancel button : control id = 0x0002



    // select right item in the combobox

    SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x0470), CB_SETCURSEL, 
        (WPARAM) m_nSaveType, 0);
    SendMessage(hwnd, WM_COMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(0x0470,CBN_CLOSEUP), 
        (LPARAM) GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x0470));

    // set output filename

    SetWindowText(GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x047c), m_szFilename);

    // Invoke Save button

    SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x0001), BM_CLICK, 0, 0);  
}

In the code above, it is funny to remark that to select the kind of HTML we want (full HTML, archive, code only or text format), we not only select the adequate entry in the combo-box, we also send Internet Explorer a combo-box CloseUp notification. This is because that's what Internet Explorer has subscribed for to know we want this kind of HTML. This behavior is known by hints-and-trials.

Conclusion

This article describes a technique to gain access to the fully fledged Save As HTML feature exposed by Internet Explorer. I have never seen an article about this topic on the 'net, whereas it's easy to figure out that it is a compelling feature for developers building web applications. Files you may use from the source code provided are:

SaveAsWebBrowser.h, *.cpp: hook procedure; fill the dialog box data
SaveAsThread.h, *.cpp: auxiliary thread for synchronization with Internet Explorer

The application is just a simple MFC-based CHtmlView application embedding the web browser control.

Problem with code in Windows Vista and Windows 7
Nguyễn Đức Thiện

19:29 24 Oct '09

Hi to all, it been a long time since my last time I write/ask in the forum.
I have the problem I hope you can help me:
I’m using the guide:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/iesaveas.aspx
(Automated IE SaveAs MHTML)
I have the problem when I’m running the code in Windows Vista
In the method:
void CSaveAsWebbrowser::UpdateSaveAs(HWND hwnd)
{
// editbox : filepath (control id = 0x047c)
// dropdown combo : filetypes (options=complete page;
// archive;html only;txt) (control id = 0x0470)
// save button : control id = 0x0001
// cancel button : control id = 0x0002

// select right item in the combobox
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x0470), CB_SETCURSEL,
(WPARAM) m_nSaveType, 0);
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_COMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(0x0470,CBN_CLOSEUP),
(LPARAM) GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x0470));

// set output filename
SetWindowText(GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x047c), m_szFilename);

// Invoke Save button
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x0001), BM_CLICK, 0, 0);
}
The problem is that we send the control id ‘0x047c’,(for the combo box and the output file), I noticed that the method GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x047c), return 0, I’m thinking the problem is that the code id '0x047c' in Vista is not relevant, I found out that for NT, Windows 98 and 95 the combobox and output file has different ID ‘0x0480’, I was wandering I someone know where I can found the id’s for Vista, or someone have another idea why this is not working.
Thanks

Pages with big sizes are not being able to saved in IE explorer itself
HMLGUY

22:19 28 Jun '09

Hi

I am using your application for programmatically saving file from IE
Automated IE SaveAs MHTML
Well only one small change I have made.
In your application
1)You create a separate browser control
2)Navigate it to web page
3)And then Save the file using
HRESULT hr = m_pWebBrowser->ExecWB(cmdid, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, NULL, NULL);

I have included SaveAsThread.cpp and SaveAsWebBrowser.cpp in my application.
Only change I have made is in your SetWebBrowser method,
Instead of setting your application's browser control,
I get an instance of currently running IE(IE version 8) and set it in SetWebBrowser method
Then I have added one button on IE toolbar and on click of it I call

m_wbSaveAs.Config( CString(finalFilePath), SAVETYPE_ARCHIVE );
m_wbSaveAs.SaveAs()

where finalFilePath is path of file to be saved

Now when ever I surf lighter pages or pages with small size, I am able to Save pages and your program runs amazing.
But when ever i surf heavy pages for example home page of http://indiatimes.com my instance of IE gets hanged and page is not being able to saved.

Same heavy page when I surf in your application and in your web browser control instead of IE itself, application works absolutely fine and is able to save page.
Do you have any idea, why IE itself is not able to perform the same.

Any clues or help would be of great help

Thanks in advance

Save as xls file
xgnitesh

1:15 15 Feb '06

Hi,
First of all I would like to thank the author for the excellent article. This works perfectly for HTML pages.
Now I have a requirement where the URL link may point to a excel file or a pdf file or any other kind of binay file. When I use the program for excel file, the save as dialog box does popup but the BM_CLICK message does not work to invoke the save button. I noticed that this is because there is another kind of save as dialog that appears when we try to save the excel file (different from the one that appears when you try to do save as for HTML pages). I thought that the resource id for save button must have changed and tried 1 to 100 all ids not just 1. But no success. Then I tried to use Spy++ drag and drop feature to identify the save button window, but unfortunately even Spy++ does not identify this save button as an independent window.

Possible questions:
How can I indentify the right button resource id?
How can invoke the save button in this new kind of save as dialog?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & regards,
Nitesh

I used MSOCMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER options, even though I am getting dialog box and even if try to save the web page through save as dialog box also, page is not saving. I am getting the error msg "This Web page could not be saved".

Can you please help me to save the complete web page without prompting save..as dialog box.

You have to switch IE in edit mode first. There are numerous articles available out there (even a few on codeproject if I remember well).

I need to modify the HTML form's value (say one entry field Name) and then save this HTML page with the given name to the local machine. I tried to use this example to save the HTML page to local, it is OK , but the page does not contain modified value (name) in the entry field. Could you explain more and any alternative to do this in C++?

I can't get this to work with Win98 even if use the tip mentioned in the previous thread. It seems to hang before it even gets to that point. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Best regards, Norrie Taylor

Win98 Different DialogID

Great article but it fails for me using IE6 on Win98. I think the reason is that the dialog IDS are different. For example GetDlgItem(hwnd, 0x47c) returns NULL for me in UpdateSaveAs. Does anyone know either 1. What the correct dialog IDS for win 98 2. Which dll the resource is in so I can try to find out the dialog ID 3. A way around this problem. Cheers
