Hi,

How to know which version of IE are webgadget using?

I need to know because i notice many differences in the behavior depending on the IE version/subversion SP1/2, etc. How can i get it from PB?

Thanks in advance

I'm sure there is a better method but this works...

The PB code.

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0,0,0,600,300,#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered,"WebGadget") And CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
  WebGadget(0,10,10,580,280,"C:\PutVerInURL.htm")
  Repeat
    Version.s = GetGadgetText(0)
  Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow Or (FindString(Version, "about", 1) >= 1)
  Version = Mid(Version, FindString(Version, "?", 1) + 1, Len(Version))
  Version = ReplaceString(Version, "%20", " ")
EndIf
Debug Version

C:\PutVerInURL.htm

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
  location.href = "about:blank?" + navigator.appVersion;
</script>
</body>
</html>

But i was looking some method before running webgadget, maybe some API call or something from PB.

BTW, GetGadgetText dont give the html displayed on webgadget but the URL, im right?

AFAIK the webgadget uses the ATL.DLL that is in your PB directory, just place it in the same dir has your executable and you'll have no problems...

Thats makes it independient of the Explorer version? I dont think so...

The atl.dll only provides the container for the Webbrowser object and the
helper functions to create/access it.

There should be a registry entry telling you the IE version, but i don't know which.

edit: this one might help:

Ok, here is another way to get the version of Internet Explorer by checking the registry...

Code: Select all

;-------- Read Registry value by Manne in 2003 --------

Procedure.l GetValue(topKey, sKeyName.s, sValueName.s, ComputerName.s) 
  GetHandle.l 
  hKey.l 
  lpData.s 
  lpDataDWORD.l 
  lpcbData.l 
  lType.l 
  lReturnCode.l 
  lhRemoteRegistry.l 
  Shared GetValue.s 
  
  If Left(sKeyName, 1) = "" 
    sKeyName = Right(sKeyName, Len(sKeyName) - 1) 
  EndIf 
  
  If ComputerName = "" 
    GetHandle = RegOpenKeyEx_(topKey, sKeyName, 0, #KEY_ALL_ACCESS, @hKey) 
  Else 
    lReturnCode = RegConnectRegistry_(ComputerName, topKey, @lhRemoteRegistry) 
    GetHandle = RegOpenKeyEx_(lhRemoteRegistry, sKeyName, 0, #KEY_ALL_ACCESS, @hKey) 
  EndIf 
  
  If GetHandle = #ERROR_SUCCESS 
    lpcbData = 255 
    lpData = Space(255) 
    
    GetHandle = RegQueryValueEx_(hKey, sValueName, 0, @lType, @lpData, @lpcbData) 
    
    If GetHandle = #ERROR_SUCCESS 
      Select lType 
        Case #REG_SZ 
          GetHandle = RegQueryValueEx_(hKey, sValueName, 0, @lType, @lpData, @lpcbData) 
          
          If GetHandle = 0 
            GetValue = Left(lpData, lpcbData - 1) 
          Else 
            GetValue = "" 
          EndIf 
          
        Case #REG_DWORD 
          GetHandle = RegQueryValueEx_(hKey, sValueName, 0, @lpType, @lpDataDWORD, @lpcbData) 
          
          If GetHandle = 0 
            GetValue = Str(lpDataDWORD) 
          Else 
            GetValue = "0" 
          EndIf 
           
      EndSelect 
    EndIf 
  EndIf 
  RegCloseKey_(hKey) 
  ProcedureReturn GetHandle
EndProcedure 

;-------- Add this to check registry for IE version --------

sKeyName.s = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer" 
sTopKey.l = #HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 

GetValue(sTopKey.l,sKeyName.s,"Version","")
Debug GetValue
