I doubt there is a graceful way of doing this.
This is why it would be great if Freedom Scientific provided a function to
get the DOM of an IE Document Object by referencing a window handle, as the
GetWindowText function does. If this were possible, then you could just get
the DOM for the specific window handle, parse the elements to check for
specific element types and attributes, and do whatever is necessary, without
having to route the current cursor all over the place just to have it within
each of those windows in order to capture the DOM.
I've never been a fan of combining IE components within Windows software
apps for this reason, that it combines two mutually incompatible user
interfaces. When one is active, the other can't be easily accessible, and
visaversa.
Sorry, guess that's not much help.
