How to receive events (eg. user mouse clicks) from IE

[Roger Upole]

The two you'll need to run makepy for are Microsoft Internet Controls and
Microsoft HTML object Library.  If you run them manually, you should be
able to look at the generated code to get the guids.
Here's a minimal example:

import win32com.client

ie_mod=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule('{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}',0, 
1, 1)
class IE_Events(ie_mod.DWebBrowserEvents2):
    def OnNavigateComplete2(self, pDisp, URL):
        print 'OnNavigateComplete2:', URL

ie=win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents('InternetExplorer.Application',IE_Events)
ie.Visible=1
ie.Navigate('http://www.google.com')
