Cannot resize my IWebBrowser2 Web Browser Control
-
I have a problem with my embedded web browser control (
IWebBrowser2). I try to resize it when it's host (which is a child of the main frame) getsWM_SIZINGwhile the main frame is resized. I was under the apparently naîve impression that I could do this by callingput_Widthandput_Heighton the web browser inWM_SIZING. Making these calls actually triggers theDWebBrowserEvents2eventsDISPID_WINDOWSETHEIGHTandDISPID_WINDOWSETWIDTH, but the size of the web browser control remains unchanged. Any guesses as to why this happen?-- Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time - Bertrand Russel

Is there some reason you are not using CHtmlView?

Yes. If possible, I'm not letting MFC within a mile of my codebase. But please let's not discuss that now... :cool: Anyway, I'm now bypassing
IWebBrowser2::put_Width/Heightby moving the actual OLE object window, roughly like this (error checks omitted):ATL::CComPtr<IOleWindow> oleWindow;
iOleObject_->QueryInterface(&oleWindow);HWND hwndBrowser = NULL;
oleWindow->GetWindow(&hwndBrowser);::MoveWindow(hwndBrowser, 0, 0, cx, cy, TRUE);
As an interesting addition, I noticed that
IWebBrowser2::get_HWNDgives NULL for the window, where I expected the same result as querying theIOleWindowinterface. :confused:-- Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time - Bertrand Russel

Ah, I see, you believe there is something wrong with MFC but you are fine with writing COM code. Did you read your own post?

Ok then, good luck.

No. I'd avoid it if I could, but I'm not going to throw in MFC into my project just because I need HTML display functionality.

Yes. Multiple times. Since I'm not a native English speaker, I want to maximize the likelihood for anyone to understand what I mean. Why did you wonder that?

Thanks.
