NewWindowDispatch

Interface AntViewNewWindowRequestedEventArgs

 

Type: Method

Parameters: IDispatch* Browser

Returns: nothing

 

The new browser control to use for this new window.

This method is needed if you want to use this from within VB6.

See also NewWindow.

 

Sometimes you need to connect the new window to a new browser. For example if you need to support the http post interface then you can't just pass the Url to the new window.

 

Below is some visual basic example code on how you can do this.

 

We have a html page with the following content:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<html>

<head>

  <script src="NewWindow.js"></script>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

 

and the javascript file looks like this:

var form = document.createElement("form");

 

form.setAttribute("method", "post");

form.setAttribute("action", "<https://www.yahoo.com>");

 

function popitup(url) {

    newwindow = window.open(url, 'name', 'width=800,height=600');

    if (window.focus) {

        newwindow.focus()

    }

    newwindow.document.body.appendChild(form);

    newwindow.document.forms[0].submit();

    return false;

}

 

popitup();

 

So what we have here is a non user initiated popup that opens a page in another domain while trying to post a form.

In Visual Basic we have two forms, form1 and form2, both have an AntView component on it called "browser".

 

Here's the content of form1.

Option Explicit

Public WithEvents DeferWindow As AntViewAx2.AntViewDeferral

Public WithEvents NewWindowArgs As AntViewAx2.AntViewNewWindowRequestedEventArgs

 

Private Sub Form_Load()

  Set DeferWindow = New AntViewAx2.AntViewDeferral

  Set NewWindowArgs = New AntViewAx2.AntViewNewWindowRequestedEventArgs

    

  browser.UnlockControl "ExampleCompany", "WI5PO2-2KSU3Q-HWFXFU-IUMU2V-QF8P2F"

  browser.CreateWebView

  browser.EventsUseHexadecimal = True

  browser.Navigate "https://antwise.com/demo/NewWindow.html"

End Sub

 

Private Sub browser_OnNewWindowRequested(ByVal Args As AntViewAx2.IAntViewNewWindowRequestedEventArgs)

    Dim URI As String

    URI = Args.URI

    Debug.Print "New Window: " & URI

    Load Form2

    Form2.Show

    Args.Handled = True

    Debug.Print "user initiated = " & Args.UserInitiated

    Set NewWindowArgs = Args

    Set DeferWindow = Args.Deferral

End Sub

 

We create a NewWindowArgs object as it takes time for the new browser object in form2 to create itself. We also use the AntViewDeferral object to indicate that to the OnNewWindowRequested event that it should defer the event.

 

form2 looks like this:

Option Explicit

 

Private Sub Form_Load()

  browserPopup.UnlockControl "ExampleCompany", "WI5PO2-2KSU3Q-HWFXFU-IUMU2V-QF8P2F"

  browserPopup.CreateWebView

  browserPopup.EventsUseHexadecimal = True

End Sub

 

Private Sub browserPopup_OnCreateWebviewCompleted(ByVal HResult As Long)

  Debug.Print "popup triggered"

  Form1.NewWindowArgs.NewWindowDispatch (browserPopup.IDispatchPointer)

  Form1.DeferWindow.Complete

End Sub

 

 

 

Introduced in AntView release 1.1.314
