i copied the example from clipboard and tried _IECreate in my 64-bit machine. still it is not working. #include <IE.au3> _IECreate("www.autoitscript.com", 1, 1, 0) _IECreate("my.yahoo.com", 1, 1, 0) _IECreate("www.google.com", 1, 1, 0) showing the following error msg: >Running AU3Check (3.3.14.0) from:C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3 input:C:\temp\1.au3 +>19:19:39 AU3Check ended.rc:0 >Running:(3.3.14.0):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\autoit3_x64.exe "C:\temp\1.au3" --> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop --> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch --> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IECreate, (Browser Object Creation Failed) --> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch --> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IECreate, (Browser Object Creation Failed) --> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch --> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IECreate, (Browser Object Creation Failed) +>19:19:39 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:0 +>19:19:39 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished. >Exit code: 0 Time: 0.4882 Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. I even tried with the latest version of Autoit - but it gives the same result (also tired of trying 2 options while installing, x86 and 64bit, same errors)

is it possible to do ui automation in the background? without activating the windows? so, i can do something else in the foreground. if so, how to do that?

Hi, I have a .dll (custom specific: ICE.dll) file created using vb.net and there is a function inside: when i read the api spec, got the following information: request you to provide the code to open/close. tried dllcall, dllopen, dllclose but it doesnt work. any help with code will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot. Best regards, Karthi Service name: ICE21 Syntax: byte ICE21 (byte status) Parameters (in): status (0-Open, 1- Close) Return value: byte 0 if everything was OK. Description: The function opens/closes the ICE plugin

Thank you, it is a standard gui. when I tried recording, it records only x,y coordinates of the screen and reproducing the same. But if the window size is changed or someone trying to run the same script in other pc's of a different monitor size then the script misbehaves. How to access the controls of GUI directly? Can you please provide any specific topics for reading. Idea is that, the automation should happen in the background, so I can do something else.

Hi jos, Thanks for your answer. So I can start reading Autoit ;-) other than excel, can we automate redundant activities in custom based GUI as well? (no idea whether the GUI developed using java/vc++...)

Hi, I'm new to autoit. I have an excel that contains 100's of network path (each path referring to .txt file) in a column. Open first text file, Search for the string "modular-n12cgh" followed by ':', there will be a 16 digit value copy the 16 digit value and open an internally developed application(GUI) and go to corresponding field and paste the text copied, and add few attachments specific to the first row of excel in this application and generate a report if everything mentioned above is done. This has to be repeated for all other rows in excel. Is it possible to automate this using autoit? If so can anyone please share an example? Thanks a lot
