IHTMLElementEvents event handling in CHtmlEditView

[User 51754]

Does anyone know how to capture IHTMLElementEvent events (onclick) for CHtmlEditView? I've tried ON_EVENT and ON_EVENT_RELFECT - doesn't work. Need to capture events for DISPID_HTMLELEMENTEVENTS2_ONCLICK etc. Must I create a CCmdTarget sub? What and How do i do it. I'm desparately trying to complete my project - any help will be GREATLY appreciated :confused: Thanks Art

Does an IHTMLElementEvent Interface exist ? Maybe you should be using ... IHTMLEventObj which you can get to from the IHTMLDocument ? then use get_event ? Also if your element has an "ID" it would be easier to track. Regardz Colin J Davies

[ Actually IHTMLElementEvents ] All i need do is to capture the onclick ondblclick events for html elements (all have ids)on the CHtmlEditView. I've tried : DISP_FUNCTION_ID(CtestView, "onclick", DISPID_HTMLELEMENTEVENTS2_ONCLICK, OnElementClick, VT_BOOL, VTS_VARIANT) Doesn't work. Tried ON_EVENT etc. Nothing seems to capture the mouse click on the CHtmlEditView in design mode. Any ideas? Thanks Art

Can you build an app to monitor the events fired from your CHtmlEditView ? And then back track for it ? Regardz Colin J Davies

One thing you might be ommiting to do is EnableAutomation(); I'm guessing you would have to do this every time the elements were created. As in a constructor. This was needed for use with the DISPID_HTMLDOCUMENTEVENTS_ONCLICK, otherwise it wouldn't show up. Maybe one test you could try is sending a IHTMLElement::click() Command Or whatever it is you use with the EditView to see what message should be fired back out. Unfortunatly I don't have VC7 to play with so I'm not much help. :-( Regardz Colin J Davies
