COM Object: HTMLFile
Purpose: Represents an HTML document. Can be used to read, write, & interact with HTML.
System Requirements: General
Documentation Link: document object
Other Links: W3Schools - Document Object
Basic Code Example - this example extracts all the text & URLs from the links on the Google Search Page:
;// download the webpage source URLDownloadToFile, http://www.google.com, Google_HTML FileRead, html, Google_HTML FileDelete, Google_HTML ;// write the Google Source to an HTMLfile document := ComObjCreate("HTMLfile") document.write(html) ;// loop through all the links links := document.links while (A_Index<=links.length, i:=A_Index-1) list .= i ") " links[i].innerText "`nURL: " links[i].href "`n`n" ;// some URLs have "about:" rather than the domain StringReplace, list, list, about:, http://www.google.com, All MsgBox, %list%
This next example shows how an HTMLfile object* can be used to create an HTML Control:
color := HtmlBgColor() ;// HTML to be added to a GUI: html = ( <body style='background-color:%color%;overflow:auto'> <span id='id' style='color:black'>text color</span> example </body> ) ;// create a simple GUI Gui, Add, Button, x6 y60 w55 h20, Red Gui, Add, Button, x71 y60 w55 h20, Blue Gui, Add, ActiveX, x0 y-5 w140 h50 vdocument, HTMLFile document.write(html) Gui, Show, x399 y246 w138 h86, HTML return GuiClose: Gui, Destroy ExitApp ButtonRed: ButtonBlue: document.all("id").style.color := SubStr(A_ThisLabel,7) return HtmlBgColor() { Format := A_FormatInteger SetFormat, IntegerFast, Hex color := SubStr(DllCall("GetSysColor", "int",15),3) SetFormat, IntegerFast, %Format% return SubStr(color,5,2) SubStr(color,3,2) SubStr(color,1,2) ;// switch from BGR -> RGB }
*Note - the HTMLfile object isn't required to accomplish this. You could simply write the HTML when adding the ActiveX Control:
Gui, Add, ActiveX, x0 y-5 w140 h50 vDocument, MSHTML:%html%
This post has an example of a completely HTML based GUI.
