Hi,
When i want to "add" methods to the window.external so JS code can call my application in .net i'm using ObjectForScripting in the WebBrowser control.
What i should use in the IE.WebBrowser to do the same?

Thanks,
Omri

Hi Omri,

There is not any equivalent in IE.WebBrowser. But you can use a reference to the iemodule.
Here is an example: http://www.add-in-express.com/files/projects_pub/access_bho_from_js.zip

Hi,
I didn't understand your response.
If i was doing it on C++ i was using the SetUIHandler and intercept the GetExternal message.

for example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753260(v=vs.85).aspx

and:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753256(v=vs.85).aspx

... ::GetExternal(IDispatch **ppDispatch)
{
// Assumes you inherit from IDispatch
*ppDispatch = (IDispatch*)this;
(*ppDispatch)->AddRef();

return S_OK;
}

What i'm looking is a way to do the same in your framework

P.S
I can use a third party project from here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/advhost.aspx
do to so but i assume that your framework already taking care of that...

Thanks,
Omri

Omri, the IE object model doesn't provide a reference to the WebBrowser control. If you install your own UI handler, it may affect other extensions. Please look at the example above.

Hi,
So what you are offering is to set the BHO object as a member in the JS global namespace instead of using the window.external.
1) what about iframes? that means that i need to "run" it on every iframe (window) in the documents right?
2) i know that there are problems in IE 8 and 9 when interfering with the JS in iframes code on download complete event. do you know anything about it?

Hi Omri.

1. Right. At least, I don't know another way.
2. I am not aware of such a problem.

Its very rare and it took us almost year and a half to find it but there are some websites that when you run js code in download complete event you are massing the site's js execution. therefore i prefer not to run js code in download complete.

Omri, the access_bho_from_js example shows of how you can initialize a js field if it is available in the js code. And it doesn't run any js code in the DownloadComplete event handler.

Maybe i'm wrong but i assumed that: 
scriptEngine.GetType().InvokeMember("bhoModule", BindingFlags.SetProperty, null, scriptEngine, new object[] { this } );


is doing "window.bhoModule = &spDisp".

The 'bhoModule' is defined in js as follows:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

var bhoModule = null;

</script>
</head>

....

</body>
</html>

Does this code produce any problems?
