How to capture events fired from popup IE window - visual-c++

I want to prevent popup IE window from IE shortcut keys.This actually I done with the help of
newwindow2 function
void CDHtmlDialogEx::OnNewWindow2(LPDISPATCH FAR* ppDisp, BOOL FAR* Cancel)
{
//*Cancel = FALSE;//allow
*Cancel = TRUE;
}
I want to differentiate using ppDisp to open the popup window for particular operation.
How can I do this?
EDIT
How to use this ppDisp variable?Give sample for this usage of ppDisp variable.
Regards,
Karthik

ppDisp is the automate interface of the webbrowser control on the new window, that is, if you did not cancell the creation of the new window as showing here and created a new window instead.
We will not get this variable to get the document interface.

How to prevent a dialog from closing when hitting enter or escape?

I have a dialog that I would like to stay open except if the [x] or exit buttons are clicked. Dialogs seem to always close if you hit escape or if you hit enter when most objects are selected (e.g. string boxes), whether you use pose() or display(). Is there a way to prevent this?
Some public examples of when this occurs are DM Mitchell's "Example: Thread and Dialog Interaction" and "Example: Single Button Dialog" but it seems to apply to any dialog.
The exception seems to be a docked palette, but this functionality seems to be rather limited in GMS2.3/GMS3.
Example code to test:
class myUItest:UIframe
{
object Init( object self )
{
TagGroup dlgTGitems
TagGroup dlgTG = DLGCreateDialog("Modal",dlgTGitems)
TagGroup dlgField = DLGCreateIntegerField(12,20)
dlgTGitems.DLGAddElement(dlgField)
return self.super.init(dlgTG)
}
}
{
object DLG = ALLOC(myUItest).Init()
DLG.Pose()
DLG.display("Modeless")
}
There seems to be no way to prevent termination of modal dialogs (those presented via the Pose method of UIFrame) via the keystrokes you mention. However, would a modeless dialog work for your application? Such a dialog is created by invoking the Display method on your UIFrame object and it is not closed via esc or enter.

Save button is disabled on edit form, cannot click it via UIAutomation

This issue is in the same application as my last question.
I'm experiencing some "odd" behavior, and I don't know if it's functioning as designed or if there's something wrong. In the 3rd party application that I'm "injecting" data into I experience different behavior when I manually edit a record vs. when my automated application edits a record.
If I run the 3rd party application and manually edit a record, the 'Save' and 'Undo' buttons in the toolbar become enabled once I begin typing in a field.
If I run the 3rd party application, then run my automated application to edit a record, my application sets focus to the first field on the form, then "injects" the data into the fields (it actually looks like someone is typing it in very fast) but the 'Save' and 'Undo' buttons stay disabled the whole time. I try to invoke the 'Save' button when I reach the bottom of the form, but I receive an error:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Windows.Automation.ElementNotEnabledException' occurred in UIAutomationClient.dll
Additional information: The operation is not allowed on a nonenabled element."
I used this code example on MSDN to insert text in the textboxes of the 3rd party application.
if (!element.TryGetCurrentPattern(
ValuePattern.Pattern, out valuePattern))
{
// Set focus for input functionality and begin.
element.SetFocus();
// Pause before sending keyboard input.
Thread.Sleep(100);
// Delete existing content in the control and insert new content.
SendKeys.SendWait("^{HOME}"); // Move to start of control
SendKeys.SendWait("^+{END}"); // Select everything
SendKeys.SendWait("{DEL}"); // Delete selection
SendKeys.SendWait(value);
}
// Control supports the ValuePattern pattern so we can
// use the SetValue method to insert content.
else
{
// Set focus for input functionality and begin.
element.SetFocus();
((ValuePattern)valuePattern).SetValue(value);
}
Perhaps I'm not searching the correct keywords, but Google has not been much help to me, and I only found one SO post that seemed related. If anyone can shed some light on this I'd really appreciate it.
TIA
UPDATES:
Re: why don't I check if button is enabled...
I don't know how to accomplish that, I was trying to do that earlier today. I have an AutomationElement that references the 'Save' button, but the AutomationElement doesn't have an Enabled property.
AutomationElement toolbar = _mainWindow.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty, "59392"));
AutomationElement saveButton = toolbar.FindFirst(TreeScope.Children, new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.NameProperty, "Commit Changes (CTRL S)"));
I tried to cast the AutomationElement as Button to check the Enabled property but I receive a build error "Cannot convert type 'System.Windows.Automation.AutomationElement' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Button'"
if (!((Button)saveButton).Enabled)
((Button)saveButton).Enabled = true;
...ok, more searching lead to this: UIAutomation Button Style Enabled
so now I can check if it is enabled, but I haven't figured out how to enable it yet.
2014.10.02 - I think it's not possible to enable a disabled button via UIAutomation. So I will modify my question a bit. If I manually click on an input field and begin typing the 'Save' button becomes enabled. If I use UIAutomation to modify the record the 'Save' button does not become enabled. So, how can I use UIAutomation to get the window into the same state that it's in when I manually edit the record?
You could try using the win32 api to send messages to the button directly. You can get all the handles you need from uiautomation just use the post message function like this.
public TestSetup AutomationLibrary;
[DllImport("User32.dll")] //http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644944(v=vs.85).aspx
public static extern int PostMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int uMsg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
public int WM_ENABLE = 0x0A;
public int WM_COMMAND = 0x111;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
AutomationLibrary = new TestSetup();
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
AutomationElement aeDesktop = AutomationLibrary.GetDesktop();
AutomationElement aeForm1 = AutomationLibrary.GetAutomationElement("Form1", aeDesktop);
AutomationElement aeDisabledButton = AutomationLibrary.GetAutomationElement("DISABLED", aeForm1);
IntPtr windowIntPtr = new IntPtr(aeForm1.Current.NativeWindowHandle);
IntPtr controlIntPtr = new IntPtr(aeDisabledButton.Current.NativeWindowHandle);
PostMessage(windowIntPtr, WM_COMMAND, (IntPtr)WM_ENABLE, controlIntPtr);
}
The TestSetup is my own home brewed automationlibrary but basically I am just getting automation elements then using the PostMessage function from User32.dll to enable the button. although it doesnt seem to actually enable the button, it does have the unintend consequence of clicking the button.
I used this article as reference for the postmessage function http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/487938/Re-Active-Disabled-Controls
Hope this helps

Change Edit Box content when Button is clicked in mfc

I have an Edit Box and a Button on a dialog. How can I change the content in the edit box runtime as the button is clicked? I have to read a new record from a file and post it in the Edit Box as the Button is clicked and I am using mfc.
Once you have trapped the button press, in most cases the easiest way to change text in an Edit Control is:
SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT_ID, "Desired Text String")
Where IDC_EDIT_ID is the ID of the Edit Control (set in the properties window)
You can set the text of an Edit control (wrapped by the CEdit class in MFC) by calling the SetWindowText method, which it inherits from the CWnd base class.
So then all you need to do is respond to a click event on your button control. You do this by listening for the BN_CLICKED notification from the appropriate button control within your parent window's OnCommand method.
Something like:
BOOL CMyDialog::OnCommand(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if (HIWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED && LOWORD(lParam) == IDC_MYBUTTON)
{
m_Edit.SetWindowText(TEXT("My string"));
}
return CWnd::OnCommand(wParam, lParam);
}
Obtaining and reading a book on MFC would be very helpful. This is fairly basic stuff, but it's a lot to cover in a single answer if you don't already understand the fundamental concepts.
Using the Class Wizard would make this even easier... Invoke it with the Ctrl+W keys and follow the on-screen instructions. You'll end up with something like:
void CMyDialog::OnMyButton()
{
m_Edit.SetWindowText(TEXT("My string"));
}

How to control application from WebBrowser Control?

I've googled it, but came out empty. And the worst thing is that I know it is possible.
Anyway, I'm developing an application that uses the WebBrowser control to display information regarding an object (like Outlook does with the Rules and Alerts dialog box).
My question is how do I do for the click on a, say, hyperlink in the WebBrowser execute some function within the Windows Form?
For instance, say I have a link like this and when I click it I want the application to display an specific form, like the Outlook does when you click on hyperlinks like People and Distribution List
This looks useful: How to: Implement Two-Way Communication Between DHTML Code and Client Application Code
ChrisW's answer will work, but there's another way if you're just relying on hyperlinks.
In Comicster, I have links in my WebBrowser control like this:
New Collection
And then in the WebBrowser's Navigating event, I have some code to check if the user has tried to navigate to an "action:" link, and intercept it:
private void webBrowser1_Navigating(object sender,
WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Url.Scheme == "action")
{
e.Cancel = true;
string actionName = e.Url.LocalPath;
// do stuff when actionName == "FileNew" etc
}
}
With a little bit of code you can even parse the URL parameters and "pass them through" to your host application's action, so I can do things like:
Edit this issue
... which will open a properties dialog for the issue with ID 1.

How to change the function called when I click in the close button on php-gtk?

I load a single instance of a window on php-gtk, I have a button named "Cancel" that hide(); the window, so when the window is needed again I just show();.
But when I click on the close button instead of the cancel button the window is destroyed. Even when I redirect the event (I'm not sure if i'm doing it right) it calls the first(just hide() function) and then the destroy method.
Any idea?
PD: I wouldn't want to destroy and recreate the windows because of php's crappy garbage collector and to be able to maintain previous data without having to refill the whole window(after all is supposed to be a desktop app).
Following the advice here: delete-event.
I changed my code to return TRUE:
function on_multipleCancelButton_activate()
{
global $GladeMultiple;
$MultipleWindow = $GladeMultiple->get_widget('multipleWindow');
$MultipleWindow->hide();
return TRUE;
}
On the GTK designer I linked the delete-event to this function.
