following a similar question i answered some time ago, i found out that when trying to enumerate the object, using IDispatch::Invoke(DISPID_NEWENUM,...)
fails with DISP_E_EXCEPTION
on IE9.
This happens with IDispatch
and IDispatchEx
, on any javascript array.
needless to say that the code works great on IE6-IE8, and fails only on IE9.
The same question also appears in the MSDN dev forums with no luck so far.
Here's a code snippet to demonstrate what I tried to do. notice that pDispatch
is the javascript's array variant.
// invoke the object to retrieve the enumerator containing object
CComVariant varResult;
DISPPARAMS dispparamsNoArgs = {0};
EXCEPINFO excepInfo = {0};
UINT uiArgErr = (UINT)-1; // initialize to invalid arg
HRESULT hr = pDispatch->Invoke(DISPID_NEWENUM, IID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD | DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &dispparamsNoArgs, &varResult, &excepInfo, &uiArgErr);
// if failed - retry with IDispatchEX
if (FAILED(hr))
{
CComPtr<IDispatchEx> pDispatchEx;
pDispatchEx = pDispatch; // Implied query interface
hr = pDispatchEx->InvokeEx(DISPID_NEWENUM, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD | DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &dispparamsNoArgs, &varResult, &excepInfo, NULL);
if (FAILED(hr))
return false;
}
Does anyone have any idea why this code always fails (IDispatch and IDispatchEx) with HRESULT of DISP_E_EXCEPTION specifically on IE9?
Thanks.
IEnumVARIANT may work.
Although when I tried it IEnumVARIANT::Next always was returning E_FAIL,
the element was fetched correctly. Didn't have time or need to get to the bottom of this.
It worked for me, but if it didn't I was intended to use IDispatchEx:
when enumerated members of array objects passed by IE they all had "0", "1" etc.., not "length" method though, must be in it's typeinfo, haven't checked.
I think you get the idea.
Sorry can't post pseudo code this site won't allow me without following some special formatting rules
hth
