Delphi Programming with TWebBrowser
How to navigate a frameset
The following example shows how to navigate through a frameset, to extract the URL and HTML of each document. In this example a message box is used to display the URL and HTML of each document. The code fragment works just as well if given a TWebBrowser document that does not contain a frameset:
procedure TMyForm.NavigateFrameset(document: IHTMLDocument2); var index: Integer; ole_index: OleVariant; frame_dispatch: IDispatch; framed: IHTMLWindow2; begin if document = nil then exit; try Application.MessageBox( PChar('Content:' + String(document.body.innerHTML)), PChar('URL: ' + String(document.URL)),MB_OK or MB_ICONINFORMATION); for index := 1 to document.Frames.Length do try ole_index := index-1; frame_dispatch := document.Frames.Item(ole_index); if frame_dispatch <> nil then begin framed := frame_dispatch as IHTMLWindow2; NavigateFrameset(framed.document); end; except on E: Exception do begin end end; except on E: Exception do begin Application.MessageBox(PChar(E.Message), PChar('Exception')); end; end; end;
and to call it:
procedure TMyForm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin NavigateFrameset(WebBrowser.Document as IHTMLDocument2); end;
You will also need to use the MSHTML_TLB
and SHDocVw_TLB
units to provide the necessary definitions.

These notes are believed to be correct for Delphi 6 and may apply to other versions as well.
