Re: Selection disabled in Web Browser Control

I found out that I can analise the active item and set or remove flag
accordingly.

For instance:

GetHostInfo(

/* [out][in] */ DOCHOSTUIINFO *pInfo)

{

SHDocVw::IWebBrowserPtr webBrowserPtr(m_lpUnknown);

IDispatchPtr dispatchPtr = webBrowserPtr->Document;

MSHTML::IHTMLDocument2Ptr document2Ptr(dispatchPtr);


if (pInfo)

{

if (_bstr_t(TEXT("input"))==document2Ptr->activeElement->tagName)

{//Allow selection

pInfo->dwFlags &=~DOCHOSTUIFLAG_DIALOG;

}

else

{//Disallow selection

pInfo->dwFlags |=DOCHOSTUIFLAG_DIALOG;

}

}

return S_OK;

}

m_lpUnknown is a class member that hold web browser control pointer. You
have if you are hosting web browser control.

I have found something that makes web browser control allow or disallow
selection.
It is IDocHostUIHandler::::GetHostInfo that I implement.

I used to return E_NOTIMPL and it caused mouse selection to be disabled.

Now I do the following.


GetHostInfo(
/* [out][in] */ DOCHOSTUIINFO *pInfo)
{
if (pInfo)
{
pInfo->dwFlags &=~DOCHOSTUIFLAG_DIALOG;
}
return S_OK;
}

It allows mouse selection in the web browser control in general, but it is
not exactly what I want. I would like mouse selection to be disabled
except text boxes. I want selection to be enabled in check boxes only. How
do I implement that? Check active element in GetHostInfo?

I have web browser control hosted in my application.
(Actually it is not my application, it is mmc.exe, but I believe it does
not
matter.)

The mouse selection is disabled. Normally in IExplore if user would press
a
mouse button and move the mouse some part of the document will be
selected.
It does not happen in my web browser control and this is Ok with me. I
actually do not need this selection because it is a sort of user
interface.

The problem is that in text boxes (input type text) selection by mouse
does
not work either. Selection by keyboard works fine.

How can I manage selection behaviour from implementation of
IDocHostUIHandler DWebBrowserEvents and things like that.
