I have the following python code:

from win32com.client import Dispatch
import time 

ie = Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = 1
ie.Navigate("https://www.google.com")

while ie.ReadyState !=4:
    time.sleep(1)

result = ie.document.body.innerHTML

What would be the equivalent of win32com.client.Dispatch in C or C++?

  • Not sure it is what you are looking for, but you may have a look at boost::asio, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47706852/using-boost-asio-to-get-web-page – Damien Sep 22 '20 at 14:45
  • No, my problem is not sending an HTTP request I want to automate internet explorer tasks using win32com.client.Dispatch – fujiwara cipher Sep 22 '20 at 16:55

I find my Answer in here : [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16879041/how-to-interact-with-internet-explorer-c][1]

my code shulde be following this :

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
