Get the current URL from IE (or any other browser)

[Mortamer]

Hello, I'd like to know a way to get the current URL for IE or any other browser? I'd like to get all of the URLs if their are multiple instances. Is this possible using PB?

I think you can use GetGadgetText(GadgetNumber)....
But you can always try this way too

Code: Select all

Procedure.s ByteStr(pointer.l) 
  strlen.w = WideCharToMultiByte_(#CP_ACP, 0, pointer, -1, 0, 0 , 0, 0) 
  string.s = Space(strlen) 
  If strlen <> 0 
    newlen.w = WideCharToMultiByte_(#CP_ACP, 0, pointer, -1, @string, strlen , 0, 0) 
  EndIf 
  SysFreeString_(pointer)  ; <<---- free the string. 
  ProcedureReturn string 
EndProcedure 
  
Procedure.s GetLocationName$(WebGadgetNumber.l) 
  Protected WebObject.IWebBrowser2,Ptr.l 
  WebObject = GetWindowLong_(GadgetID(WebGadgetNumber), #GWL_USERDATA) 
  WebObject\get_LocationName(@Ptr.l) 
  ProcedureReturn ByteStr(Ptr) 
EndProcedure

Procedure.s GetLocationURL$(WebGadgetNumber.l) 
  Protected WebObject.IWebBrowser2,Ptr.l 
  WebObject = GetWindowLong_(GadgetID(WebGadgetNumber), #GWL_USERDATA) 
  WebObject\get_LocationURL(@Ptr.l) 
  ProcedureReturn ByteStr(Ptr) 
EndProcedure

I don't really understand that code, but are you sure it'd work for internet explorer? Wouldn't that just get the url from a web gadget?

Justin's answer here works for me with IE:

(BTW, please use the Search function here... I found the link above
simply by searching for "Internet Explorer").
