Hello,
I saw an old post about getting the focus state of IE and that is exactly what i'm looking to do as well.
https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=10&TID=8745&MID=44551#message44551
Has this been implemented yet?
Details of issue:
I'm looking run some code when the user clicks out of IE to another window and when they come back in to IE.
particularly I need to close any open autocomplete dropdowns (custom controls) because they are set to always on top and remain open when ie loses focus. |

Hi Kyle,
Please try to use the OnFrameWindowActivate event of the iemodule.
private void IEModule_OnFrameWindowActivate(object sender, bool active)
{
Debug.WriteLine("OnFrameWindowActivate: " + active.ToString());
}
You need to set the 'HandleDocumentUICommands' property of the iemodule to 'True' in order to enable the event. |

Thank you for the help.
I'm still having problems with it recognizing if the window is active or not.
I went to the visual designer for IEModule and went to the properties and set "HandleDocumentUICommands" to True. Then I added the event handler
Private Sub IEModule_OnFrameWindowActivate(sender As Object, active As Boolean) Handles Me.OnFrameWindowActivate
Debug.WriteLine("OnFrameWindowActivate: " + active.ToString())
End Sub
But when I have the toolbar open and click on, for example, a Notepad window on my other screen, the event doesn't get written to debug. same when clicking back into the IE window as well which I assume would make it Active again. |

Hi Kyle,
What the tool do you use to see the debug messages? I used DebugView.
Note, you should disable the protected mode in IE so that you can see the debug messages. |

Yes i'm using DebugView and my IE11 is not running in protected mode.
I do get debug messages from minimizing and maximizing IE using the WindowStateChanged event, if that tells you anything. |

Hi Kyle,
Do you have 'handleDocumentUICommands' attribute set to 'true' in the adxloader.dll.manifest file of your project?
E.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<assemblyIdentity name="MyIEAddon81, PublicKeyToken=853bc2e398bb039c" imageRuntimeVersion="v4.0.30319" />
<loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="false" privileges="administrator" configFileName="MyIEAddon81.dll.config" handleDocumentUICommands="true" />
</configuration> |

After going to my project folder I found 5 of these files in various locations within the folder. all of them were read only and all of them were had handleDocumentUICommands="false" or they didn't have it at all.
I reloaded my project in visual studio and found that the property for iemodule was back to false, and when I tried to change it to true in visual studio it would not save the change, it stayed false.
I made sure to unregister the adx project and clean / rebuild all as well.
I manually changed it to true in the manifest files, and it is functioning as expected now, but it is concerning that I was unable to change this in the properties.
*edit*
after removing the read-only on the manifest file (not sure why it was there) i'm able to change this property correctly in visual studio and it remembers it.
Thanks for the help! |

Hello Kyle,

It might be set by the source code control software product that you use.
