Steveiwonder Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Hey All, I seem to have an issue with _IEAttach. Here is the code. Local $winTitle1 = "Interface Search - " ; name of page Local $winTitle2 = "Interface Details - "; name of page If WinExists($winTitle1) Then $Hwnd = WinGetHandle($winTitle1) $oIE = _IEAttach($hwnd, "HWND") ; This line of code causes the error ElseIf WinExists($winTitle2) Then $Hwnd = WinGetHandle($winTitle2) $oIE = _IEAttach($hwnd, "HWND") Else $oIE = _IECreate($LoginURL, 0, 1) EndIf This is the error I'm getting. >"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "E:\AutoIT\Work Scripts\Haystacks\HayStackst.au3" C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\ie.au3 (2674) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.: Return SetError($_IEStatus_Success, 0, HWnd($o_object.HWnd())) Return SetError($_IEStatus_Success, 0, HWnd($o_object.HWnd()^ ERROR >Exit code: 1 Time: 0.987 Any help is appreciated.

Steveiwonder Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 ok i managed to get it to work by change my code to this. It seems there is some problem when im using HWND to attach to the window. $oIE = "" Local $winTitle1 = "Interface Search - " ; name of page Local $winTitle2 = "Interface Details - "; name of page If WinExists($winTitle1) Then ;$hwnd = WinGetHandle($winTitle1) $oIE = _IEAttach($winTitle1, "WindowTitle") ElseIf WinExists($winTitle2) Then ;$hwnd = WinGetHandle($winTitle2) $oIE = _IEAttach($winTitle2, "WindowTitle") Else $oIE = _IECreate($LoginURL, 0, 1) EndIf Anyone explain?

DaleHohm Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 What is special about the browser instance you are attaching to? It probably means it is not a standard browser window.

Steveiwonder Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Dale, There isn't anything special about the browser window i'm using, AFAIK. This only started after i updated to the latest version. If i was using the code that causes the error i would have to reboot my PC to stop it, the error would reoccur after a few times of running the script. No idea what causes it, but its not an issue as i'm using a different method now. I don't know its its a bug in autoit somewhere or not but np for me now.

tcurran Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I don't know its its a bug in autoit somewhere or not but np for me now.I'm getting the exact same error. I'm running my script (which uses _IEAttach in the same way) on XP and Windows 7. Works fine on XP w/ IE7. Breaks with the same error message on Windows 7 (64-bit) w/ IE8. The error seems to be non-fatal, so my workaround is simply to use _IEErrFunc to pause, ignore it, and return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Same as Dale said before, can you post a short runnable script that will reproduce your symptoms?

Samoth Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Strangely I didn't have this behaviour until today. I wrote a script that attached to my browser and worked fine just the last few weeks. Today it went nuts so I came along this thread and another one as well. I posted my solution over Might this "patch" probably make it's way into a next release of AutoIt?This funny error only seems to occur on open IE windows not being a TopLevelContainer. I just check out for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleHohm Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The bug report is entered, but there is still no reproducer. I won't be comfortable adding a 'fix' for something I cannot test. Can you create or find a scenario where you can reproduce this?
