accessing control info

[sdfg4545]

I have to tab (Send("{TAB}")) through an app until I land on specific controls. The controls are HTML buttons and links in an IE control (not an IE browser).

Is there a function that can "_GetCurrentObjectText()"?

I want to do something like the following:

For $i = 1 to 100 Step 1 ;loop 100 times

Send("{TAB}") ; move to next object

if (_GetCurrentObjectText() = "search text") then ; is this what I am looking for?

Send("{ENTER}") ; if yes, click the button

EndIF

Next

Haven't done it myself but you could use _IEAttach to "connect" to the Browser Control (use "embedded"). Then you can get a collection of all links by _IELinkGetCollection and then search the one you need.

If you know the name or id of the object (have a look at the HTML source code) then you can access the object using _IEGetObjbyName.

That's it in short.

I think IEAttach and embedded is what I need to do.

I dont understand what parameters to pass to IEAttach?

Documentation suggests this:

$oIE = _IEAttach ("[REGEXPTITLE:ICQ; INSTANCE:2]", "embedded", 3)

My app runs in a window called "iMedic Explorer".

Window Info: control within the app, the control is a browser

>>>> Control <<<<

Class: Internet Explorer_Server

Instance: 1

ClassnameNN: Internet Explorer_Server1

Advanced (Class): [CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]

My app runs in a window called "iMedic Explorer".

So I would try (under the prerequisite that there is only one window with this title):

$oIE = _IEAttach("iMedic Explorer", "embedded")
ConsoleWrite("Error : " & @error & " - Extended: " & @extended & @CRLF)

Please run this code using ScITe and post the console output.

I just figured it out, this is what I did:

(I now have access to all the links)

WinActivate ("iMedic Explore")

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.202c666]") ; got this from window info

$oIE = _IEAttach ($hWnd, "embedded")

$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)

For $oLink In $oLinks

MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $oLink.href)

Next

Thanks,

Water: i see you use 'ConsoleWrite', i'll try that instead of msgbox
