从Delphi中提取TWebBrowser中iframe的内容

Question

I hava a TWebBrowser component into I load the URL of an enriched text editor. After editing I would like to retrieve the HTML of the text (with all its markup).

Taking a look with the browser debugger I can see the editor stores the text in an iframe:

I can get the iframe with this:

  NodeName := 'htmleditor_ifr';
  BodyIframe := (WebBrowser1.Document as IHTMLDocument3 ).getElementById(NodeName);

But I don't know how to retrieve the inner document.

Any tips?

This is my solution for Delphi 7.

My Delphi version didn't contain an implementation of IHTMLIFrameElement3 but the IDE offers a way to add it to your project:

Menu Component > Import ActiveX Control

With this dialog you can generate a new unit that contains all the definitions missing from the Delphi 7 installation:

  CLASS_HTMLFrameElement: TGUID = '{3050F314-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}';
  IID_IHTMLIFrameElement: TGUID = '{3050F315-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}';
  IID_IHTMLIFrameElement2: TGUID = '{3050F4E6-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}';
  IID_IHTMLIFrameElement3: TGUID = '{30510433-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}';
  DIID_DispHTMLIFrame: TGUID = '{3050F51B-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}';
  CLASS_HTMLIFrame: TGUID = '{3050F316-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}';

Having this I followed the tips from @Olivier:

  NodeName := 'htmleditor_ifr';
  BodyIframe := (WebBrowser1.Document as IHTMLDocument3 ).getElementById(NodeName);
  ContentHTML := (((BodyIframe as IHTMLIFrameElement3 ).contentDocument) as IHTMLDocument2 );
  Body := ContentHTML.body.innerHTML;
