Re: IWebBrowser2 wrapper and KeyUp/KeyDown

You have to consider IOleInPlaceActiveObject interface which provides communication between browser and host window. Then forward key/mouse messages to IWebBrowser2 control from CF application by using TranslateAccelerator method of IOleInPlaceActiveObject interface:

IWebBrowser2* m_pBrowserApp;
....

extern "C" _declspec(dllexport) BOOL TranslateBrowserAccelerator(MSG *pMsg)
{
IOleInPlaceActiveObject* pIOIPAO;
HRESULT hr = m_pBrowserApp->QueryInterface(IID_IOleInPlaceActiveObject, (void**)&pIOIPAO);
BOOL bRet = FALSE;

if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
	bRet = pIOIPAO->TranslateAccelerator(pMsg) == S_OK ? TRUE : FALSE;
	pIOIPAO->Release();
}

return bRet;
}

Then in C# application using IMessageFilter from SDF to trap WM_KEY*/WM_MOUSE* events and pass it into TranslateBrowserAccelerator method to inquire browser processed message or did not. Here you are a code snippet of IMessageFilter.PreFilterMessage:

if ((m.Msg < WM_KEYFIRST || m.Msg > WM_KEYLAST) &&
(m.Msg < WM_MOUSEFIRST || m.Msg > WM_MOUSELAST)) return false;

if (!IsChild(m.HWnd)) return false;

MSG msg = new MSG();
msg.hwnd = m.HWnd;
msg.lParam = m.LParam;
msg.wParam = m.WParam;
msg.message = m.Msg;

return _htmlViewer.TranslateAccelerator(ref msg);

Hello,

not sure that this is correct newsgroup but since the probrem related
to CompactFramework application I decided to write here.

Well, after small introduction here is the issue. I have IWebBrowser2
wrapper written in eVC and also have CF application that uses it. This
is strange but HTML inside this WebBrowser does not receive
KeyDown/KeyUp events and works like a charm inside standard IE.

Does anybody know how to solve it?

Thank you for all suggestions in advance!
