How to access a document's HTML in Firefox using IAccessible


I can get an IAccessible object from a Firefox window using this code:

Guid guid = new Guid("{618736E0-3C3D-11CF-810C-00AA00389B71}");
object obj = null;
int ret = AccessibleObjectFromWindow(hWnd, 
    (uint) OBJID.WINDOW, ref guid, ref obj);
Accessibility.IAccessible acc = (Accessibility.IAccessible)obj;

However, I'm not sure where to go from here. I need to get the full HTML from the document. I know about the IAccessible.get_accValue() method, but I'm not really sure how to use it in relation to Firefox. Any help would be much appreciated.


Solution

  • Apparently you can't get the full HTML source using IAccessible. I found this but it doesn't work in FF3.5:

    IServiceProvider *pServProv = NULL;
    pAccessible->QueryInterface(IID_IServiceProvider, (void**)&pServProv);
    ISimpleDOMNode *pSimpleDOMNode;
    if (pServProv) {
      const GUID refguid = {0x0c539790, 0x12e4, 0x11cf, 0xb6, 0x61,
                            0x00, 0xaa, 0x00, 0x4c, 0xd6, 0xd8};
      HRESULT result = pServProv->QueryService(refguid, IID_ISimpleDOMNode,
                                               (void**)&pSimpleDOMNode);
      if (SUCCEEDED(hresult) && pSimpleDOMNode != NULL) {
        /* This is a Mozilla node! Use special ISimpleDOMNode methods described in
          ISimpleDOMNode.idl. */
      }
    }
    

    I also found this, which doesn't work in FF3.5 either:

    HRESULT hr = AccessibleObjectFromWindow(hwnd, OBJID_CLIENT,
          IID_IAccessible, (void**)&pAccessible);
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pAccessible != NULL) {
    HRESULT hr = pAccessible->QueryInterface(
          IID_ISimpleDOMNode, (void**)&pSimpleDOMNode);
    }
    

    I'm stuck. :(
