Without seeing what else you have defined in your CSentenceList class, I can't even tell you if you are using a decent design.

Hi,
I'm using an active-x control to browse some web pages and part of what I need to do involves not letting it spawn IE windows if a link happens to want to navigate outside of my own browser window. I was finally able to use NewWindow2 to prevent it from spawning new windows, however it did not return the URL the link would have gone to, so I found that NewWindow3 could handle that. Per the docs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/ifaces/dwebbrowserevents2/newwindow3.asp) there is a BSTR flag that holds the URL of the link that is supposed to be opening. However when I capture the URL I am only getting a line of question marks (like ?????????????????????????????????) instead of the URL I need.
Can someone assist in figuring out how to use NewWindow3 so I can capture the proper URL of the link I click on?
Thanks in advance!

In a variable, or in the debug window?

In a variable. This is the code I am using to test....
void CLoadWebSite::OnNewWindow3(LPDISPATCH FAR* ppDisp, BOOL FAR* Cancel, BSTR Flags, BSTR URLContext, BSTR URL)
{
// Convert BSTR to CSTring
CString url = "";
VARIANT vnt;
vnt.bstrVal = URL;
url = vnt.bstrVal;
*Cancel = TRUE; // Prevent IE spawning
AfxMessageBox(url); // display popup of url value.
Browser.Navigate(url,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL); // navigate to url
}
I get the same value if cancel is set to true or false. If it's false, the IE window spawns to the proper link. Both ways the URL is not returned to my variable, it just appears as all question marks.

You need to set the vt member to VT_BSTR.

Didn't seem to make any difference.. Here is my updated code (I hope I made the change you recommended correctly...):
ON_EVENT(CLoadWebSite, IDC_EXPLORER, 273 /* NewWindow3 */, OnNewWindow3Explorer1, VTS_DISPATCH VTS_PBOOL VTS_BSTR VTS_BSTR VTS_BSTR)
void CLoadWebSite::OnNewWindow3Explorer1(LPDISPATCH FAR* ppDisp, BOOL FAR* Cancel, BSTR *Flags, BSTR *URLContext, BSTR *URL)
{
CString url = "";
VARIANT vnt;
vnt.vt = VT_BSTR;
vnt.pbstrVal = URL;
url = vnt.bstrVal;
*Cancel = TRUE;
AfxMessageBox(url);
// Browser.Navigate(url,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
}

I made an error. The last three parameters are indeed pass-by-value, not pass-by-reference. You can remove the '*' from them.
You should be able to set a breakpoint on the first statement in OnNewWindow3Explorer1() and see the value of URL. If it's not correct then, nor shall it be when assigned to url.

Ok, I set it back to pass-by-value (I caught your earlier post you had deleted)
I set up a breakpoint on the line: url = vnt.bstrVal; and it shows me the URL! But why then is it displaying in AfxMessageBox as all ? marks.... hmmmm....

This is what I see in the debugger (Autos tab):
url tree ->
Name: url
Value: {...}
Type: ATL::CStringT<char,strtraitmfc<char,atl::chtraitscrt<char> > >
Name: ATL::CSimpleStringT<char,0>
Value: "*edited value* http://myinternallink"
Type: ATL::CSimpleStringT<char,0>
Name: m_pszData
Value: 0x6aed22a7 <bad ptr="">
Type: char *
Name: <warning symbol="">
Value: CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated

None of the vnt stuff is necessary. Just use:
CString url(V_BSTR(&URL));
AfxMessageBox(url);

That didn't work. The compiler didn't like it one bit

type is 'BSTR *'

Show me your code once more. Did you try it with/out the ampersand?

Tried it with and without the ampersand. Pretty much the same error:
with:
error C2227: left of '->bstrVal' must point to class/struct/union/generic type
type is 'BSTR *'
without:
error C2227: left of '->bstrVal' must point to class/struct/union/generic type
type is 'BSTR'
Here's my code:
ON_EVENT(CLoadWebSite, IDC_EXPLORER, 273 /* NewWindow3 */, OnNewWindow3Explorer1, VTS_DISPATCH VTS_PBOOL VTS_BSTR VTS_BSTR VTS_BSTR)
void CLoadWebSite::OnNewWindow3Explorer1(LPDISPATCH FAR* ppDisp, BOOL FAR* Cancel, BSTR Flags, BSTR URLContext, BSTR URL)
{
CString url(V_BSTR(URL));
AfxMessageBox(url);
*Cancel = TRUE;
// Browser.Navigate(url,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
}

I messed up (again).  Since URL is already a BSTR, as opposed to a VARIANT, it obviously cannot be run through the V_BSTR() macro.

I've tried converting the value to CString every which way and it always comes to the same results no matter what, a line of several dozen ? marks.
This is getting quite frustrating 
I have to assume then that it may be a problem with BSTR URL not reporting a proper url.
To test the NewWindow3 function I had my default site go to google.com, I searched on a something irrelevant and right-clicked to Open to a new window to trigger the event. In the debugger URL always comes back as a bunch of square shapes (I think because debugger can't display BSTR?, at least there's a doc somewhere on codeproject that said it couldn't, but it might have been for an older version of VS) and converting always results in ? marks...
If you want to test this you can do do very easily by going to this link:
http://www.codeproject.com/com/webbrowser.asp[^]
This is basically something similar to what I have. Just edit the code, change the default site if you wish and add the event for the NewWindow3 compile and have at it to see what you can find...

It might indeed be a Unicode thing. This is the default for VS2003 and VS2005, but not so with VS6 (what I'm using).
In the Watch window, the symbol for strings is s while the symbol for Unicode strings is su. See here for more.

Yeah, I'm using VS2005...
Here's a new bit a code that came very close...
void CLoadWebSite::OnNewWindow3Explorer1(LPDISPATCH FAR* ppDisp, BOOL FAR* Cancel, BSTR Flags, BSTR URLContext, BSTR URL)
{
BSTR b = URL;
_bstr_t orig(b);
CString cstring((char *)orig);
AfxMessageBox(_T(cstring));
*Cancel = TRUE;
Browser.Navigate(cstring,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
}
When I debug this code the value for cstring is the URL I need! However, when I try to view it with AfxMessageBox or Navigate to it, it still thinks the value is all question marks.... I don't understand why it could show me one thing and do another... I wish there was a way to post a screenshot....
Any ideas?

The _T() macro is for string literals.

I already had an application that uses this control, but for some reason it does not support the NewWindow3 event. What version of shdocvw.dll do you have? Mine is 6.0.2900.2937.

Unless it's on mulitple locations on my drive the version I have appears to be older... I have 6.0.2900.2919. According to the article on MSDN: NewWindow3 is available only in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later. So if you have that, it should work...
FYI, after messing around a bit and not getting anywhere I put the code back that was showing me the proper URL in the debugger stopped working again. Same code, but bad results. I have't been able to get it to reproduce the proper URL in the debugger since.

Would you believe I *FINALLY* got it working?
Here's the code to make it work....
ON_EVENT(CLoadWebSite, IDC_EXPLORER, 273 /* NewWindow3 */, OnNewWindow3Explorer1, VTS_DISPATCH VTS_PBOOL VTS_BSTR VTS_BSTR VTS_BSTR)
void CLoadWebSite::OnNewWindow3Explorer1(LPDISPATCH FAR* ppDisp, BOOL FAR* Cancel, BSTR Flags, BSTR URLContext, BSTR URL)
{
CString strURL;
// capture URL of any link clicked that would attempt to open in a new window
if (URL != NULL)
strURL = (LPCTSTR)URL;
*Cancel = TRUE; // prevent IE from spawning
Browser.Navigate(strURL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL); // loads resulting URL into the web browser control instead of a spawned IE window
}
|

univega_r304 wrote: strURL = (LPCTSTR)URL;
This makes sense since a BSTR is really a type of char*. Could you have also done:
strURL = URL; as the assignment operator should handle the typecast automatically? If not, oh well.

Have a look at following code :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <afx.h>
#include <afxwin.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( int, char* [] )
{
CRect rc( 100,100, 500, 500 );
CRect rcOld;
CPoint pt;
GetCursorPos(&pt);
cout << "Current Position " << pt.x << ", " << pt.y << endl;
GetClipCursor(&rcOld);
ClipCursor( &rc );
cout << "Press any key to restore.." << endl;
getch();
ClipCursor( &rcOld );
return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks foolproof.
Just build and run this application.
You will find that cursor indeed gets clipped in the area specified.
But, just do a right click and all clipping goes away !!!!
How can I resolve this? I dont want the clipped rect to go away till I restore the original rectangle back...
|
|
|
|

This is the correct behavior. The cursor is a shared system resource, no one app is allowed total control over it. Imagine if ClipCursor() worked 100% of the time. All you'd have to do was write an app that calls ClipCursor(0,0,1,1) and boom - instant denial of service.
