> Currently there is no support (from what I've seen) for attaching watir to an
> embedded IE window. Several users have had a need for this and I've done some
> research on the issue but have not yet been able to get a working solution.
> What would be nice is to add a new method to watir called something like
> attach_embedded(how, what)
> where how could be :title or :hwnd
> and what being the corresponding value
> autoit has a function for attaching to an embedded browser and I've tested
> that it works. Thus, In autoit IE.au3 they have a function which when given a
> hwnd will return the IE control which if we could do the same thing with
> watir, we could bind that and control it like a regular browser.
> The following has the source for IE.au3, if you look there is a function
> called __IEControlGetObjFromHWND
> which is what I am referring to. Check it out:
> http://www.therks.com/autoit/install/Include/IE.au3
> A few people have attempted to implement this function but have been unable
> to call the idispatch interface method that is returned (at least, thats what
> i think the problem is). Here is the most recent attempt which didnt work in
> my tests:

> have been trying to accomplish the same thing but I wasn't sure.
