Tab key support in an IWebBrowser2 control

Question

I have an embedded IWebBrowser2 control using straight C++ (windowed, not windowless) and when someone hits the Tab key to go between fields in the browser, it jumps focus out of the web browser.

Any ideas on what I need to implement or what I could be screwing up?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Accelerator keystrokes like tab are handled by the message loop before being dispatched. As such a hook function needs to be called by a message loop - IOleInPlaceActiveObject::TranslateAccelerator iirc. - to give the control the chance to do keyboard navigation type things.

I solved this problem by below link.

IWebBrowser2* iBrowser;
IOleInPlaceActiveObject* pIOIPAO;

hr = mpWebObject->QueryInterface(IID_IWebBrowser2,(void**)&iBrowser);
if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) )
{
iBrowser->QueryInterface(IID_IOleInPlaceActiveObject,(void**)&pIOIPAO);
          if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) )
          {
          pIOIPAO->TranslateAccelerator(msg);
                    pIOIPAO->Release();
          }
          iBrowser->Release();

}
