IEDocumentMBS.CallFunction(FunctionName as string, paramArray params as variant) as variant

dim doc as IEDocumentMBS = htmlviewer1.IEDocumentMBS

dim v as variant = doc.CallFunctiom("test", 2, 3)

Returns result as variant.
You can pass as many parameters as needed.

Our plugin converts Xojo data types to JavaScript data types like boolean, number, text or NULL. This could be extended in future to convert arrays, too.

FunctionName should be the name of a global function defined in JavaScript.

IEDocumentMBS.ContinueFindText(text as string, count as integer, flags as integer, selectText as boolean) as boolean

dim d as IEDocumentMBS = HTMLViewer1.IEDocumentMBS

// find first
dim found as boolean = d.FindText("Xojo", 0, 0, true)

msgbox "Found Xojo: "+str(found)

if found then
  // find next
  found = d.ContinueFindText("Xojo", 0, 0, true)
end if

Parameters are the same as for IEFindTextMBS.

IEDocumentMBS.DrawToHDC(HDC as Ptr, PrinterName as string = "")

As of Windows Internet Explorer 9, this method is deprecated and should not be used.
Returns true on success and false on failure.

With some printers, running DrawToDC may cause problems. You can ensure that DrawToDC works properly on all printers by running SetDocumentPrinter method first, and then passing the modified device context to DrawToDC. The plugin calls SetDocumentPrinter for you when you provide a printer name.

IEDocumentMBS.Evaluate(expression as string) as variant

dim doc as IEDocumentMBS = htmlviewer1.IEDocumentMBS

dim v as variant = doc.Evaluate("1+2")
Msgbox v

In contrast to IEWindowMBS.RunJavaScript this function returns the result on Windows, but needs IE 9 or newer.

Our plugin converts Xojo data types to JavaScript data types like boolean, number, text or NULL. This could be extended in future to convert arrays, too.

IEDocumentMBS.FindText(text as string, count as integer, flags as integer, selectText as boolean) as boolean

dim d as IEDocumentMBS = HTMLViewer1.IEDocumentMBS

// find first
dim found as boolean = d.FindText("Xojo", 0, 0, true)

msgbox "Found Xojo: "+str(found)

if found then
  // find next
  found = d.ContinueFindText("Xojo", 0, 0, true)
end if

text: the string that specifies the text to find.
count: long that specifies the number of characters to search from the starting point of the range. A positive integer indicates a forward search; a negative integer indicates a backward search.
Flags: integer that specifies one or more of the following flags to indicate the type of search:

0	Default. Match partial words.
1	Match backwards.
2	Match whole words only.
4	Match case.
131072	Match bytes.
536870912	Match diacritical marks.
1073741824	Match Kashida character.
2147483648	Match AlefHamza character.

Returns true: The search text was found.
Returns false: The search text was not found.

IEDocumentMBS.Frames as IEWindowMBS()

Dim hdoc As IEDocumentMBS = HTMLViewer1.IEDocumentMBS
Dim frames() As IEWindowMBS = hdoc.Frames

For Each frame As IEWindowMBS In frames
  Dim doc As IEDocumentMBS = frame.Document
  
  Dim URL As String = doc.URL
  Dim Name As String = doc.NameProp
  Dim HTMLText As String = doc.HTMLText
  
  Break // read in debugger
Next

MBS Plugin will return the window objects for each frame as an array.

IEDocumentMBS.GetTextArea(FormName as String, FieldName as String) as String

FormName can be "" to look for any field with given name.
Raises exception if field is not found.
Returns text from textarea.

IEDocumentMBS.HTMLText as string

dim d as IEDocumentMBS = HTMLViewer1.IEDocumentMBS
dim htmlText as string = d.HTMLText
dim PlainText as string = d.text
dim toString as string = d.ToString

Break // see in debug

Improved in plugin version 12.2 to return better HTML text. This is the html generated from current web content and not the page we originally loaded. So this works with Editable property.
Returns "" on any error.

IEDocumentMBS.Image as picture

dim d as IEDocumentMBS = HTMLViewer1.IEDocumentMBS
dim p as Picture = d.Image
canvas1.Backdrop = p

You may want to resize the htmlviewer to get a picture without scrollbars. (See example projects)
You may need to call ClearFocus as it seems like if the focus is on the htmlviewer it does not draw itself in our picture.

IEDocumentMBS.LoadHTML(HTMLText as string)

dim d as IEDocumentMBS = HTMLViewer1.IEDocumentMBS

d.LoadHTML "<p>Hello World</p>"

Does not use a temp file like Xojo's built in method.
Returns true on success.
On Windows you may need to reset webviewer before or load "about:blank" to initialize the webviewer by Xojo (or Xojo).

IEDocumentMBS.PrintPreview as boolean

Returns true on success. Returns false if function is not supported.
