laffo16 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) hey guys, i just cant figure this out, i'm trying to use _IEFormGetCollection, _IEFormElementGetCollection and _IEFormElementCheckboxSelect to select the checkboxes in the example but failing miserably, i've tried every combination i can think of but just cant do it. any help appreciated #include <IE.au3> $oIE = _IE_Example ("form") $i = 0 For $i = 0 To 2 $form_get = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, $i) $j = 0 For $j = 0 To 20 $element_get = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($form_get, $j) _IEFormElementCheckboxSelect ($element_get, 0, "", 1, "byIndex") Next Next Edited August 11, 2009 by laffo16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just iterate the collections: #include <IE.au3> $oIE = _IE_Example("form") $forms_get = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE) $i = 0 For $oForm In $forms_get $form_get = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, $i) $elements_get = _IEFormElementGetCollection($form_get) $j = 0 For $oElement In $elements_get ConsoleWrite($i & "-" & $j & ": " & $oElement.OuterHtml & @LF) $j += 1 Next $i += 1 Next You'll note from the output that not all the elements are checkboxes to begin with. The examples in the help file for _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect() work fine. Look at the first parameter passed to the function in those examples ($oForm) and compare to what you are trying to do. >_< Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

laffo16 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) i got a little restless and so just started firing random arrows with $i and $j hoping to hit something. im just trying to tick one of those checkboxes without using _IEFormGetObjByName. thanks for the response, that .OuterHtml should come in handy. from the ConsoleWrite in your code i see that "0 - 5" is "Basketball" (the 1st checkbox). i dont see why this doesnt work $forms_get = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0) $elements_get = _IEFormElementGetCollection($form_get, 5) _IEFormElementCheckboxSelect ($elements_get, 1, "", 1, "byIndex") i know that $elements_get must be an object, but isnt that what _IEFormElementGetCollection returns >_< im confused.

Not just any object -- the FORM object. You don't refer directly to the checkbox object with that function. Look again at the parameters used in Example 2 of the help file. >_< Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
