Program that interfaces w/ IE

[Cabadam]

OK... I had a program (originally written using VC 6.0) that, as part of its
function, retrieves values from an open Internet Explorer window. However,
when I compile the SAME EXACT code that works in VC6 in VS.NET, the retrieve
function fails.

In the code, once I get the IE window, I check for frames:
IDispatchPtr dis;
IHTMLDocument2Ptr doc;
spBrowser->get_Document(&dis); //spBrowser is earlier declared and
initialized
dis->QueryInterface(&doc);

IHTMLFramesCollection2* frames;
long num;
doc->get_frames(&frames); /* THIS IS THE PROBLEM
if (frames == NULL)
///failed
else
{
....
}



In VC6, the get_frames function returns a valid address everytime, whether
it is a framesize of 1, or 2 or whatever...
However, the thing compiled in VS.NET, 'frames' ALWAYS ends up NULL.

What would cause this?
I am using the VS.net Beta 2. Is this a known problem that is fixed in the
final release? Is there a solution??
Or is the problem something else entirely?

This was tested and confirmed using both IE5.5 and IE6.

Thanks!

Hi there, I know it's really out of topic, but in vc6, once you get the frames the getDocument from one of the frames always return null.
now, do you have any other option to get the document pointer of one of the frames?
thanks,
