Put Captcha on a GUI

[Floppy]

Hi, what I'm trying to create is a program to automatize the registration on a website.

The problem in this website is there's a captcha that should be typed in an inputbox to prevent bots.

My idea is to create a GUI with the captcha image and an inputbox where user should type the captcha.

The registration page is: http://oknotizie.virgilio.it/register.html.php

I tried getting captcha image with _IEImgGetCollection, but it gets the PHP captcha generator script address.

Browsing the forum I found this script that work great.

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Clipboard.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#Include <Memory.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate('http://oknotizie.virgilio.it/register.html.php')
$oImg = _IEImgGetCollection($oIE, 0)
$oRange = $oIE.document.Body.CreateControlRange()
$oRange.Add($oImg)
$oRange.ExecCommand('Copy')

$hImage = _ClipBoard_GetData($CF_BITMAP)

_GDIPlus_Startup()
$oBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hImage)
$nHeight = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight($oBitmap)
$nWidth = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth($oBitmap)
$Gui = GUICreate('IE Image', $nWidth, $nHeight, 250, 250)
GUISetState()
$hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($Gui)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $oBitmap, 0, 0)

Sleep(5000)

_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($oBitmap)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()

The problem is that puts the image into Clipboard and the previously datas in Clipboard are deleted.

My question is: Is there a different way to get the same captcha showed on the web page? Or, is there a way to not copy the image into Clipboard?

Thanks for help in advance! >_<

$sOldClipBoardData = ClipGet()
ClipPut("Your Image")
Do something with the Image
ClipPut($sOldClipBoardData)

I though at that solution, but the problem is: "If in that moment the user paste to Clipboard...?"

Is there a way to don't put the image into Clipboard?

Please see:

I'm not sure if there is an elegant way to be honest.

I've the same problem of my solution.

It downloads the php script and not the image.

Any solution?

[Floppy]

Solutions???

[WolfWorld]

ask yourself

$sOldClipBoardData = ClipGet()

ClipPut("Your Image")

Do something with the Image

ClipPut($sOldClipBoardData)

How long will

Do something with the Image

takes?

Yes, but think if the user in that moment copy or paste something!?! All fails...

The thing I don't understand is: Why is needed to put the image to Clipboard and then pick it again?
