Error from _IEPropertyGet()

[JohnOne]

Am I using this function wrong ?

The return indicates a success, but I get a warning error (without stopping script)

$V = _IEPropertyGet($GUIActiveX,"busy")
            Switch $V
                Case @error = 0
                    ConsoleWrite("No Error" & $V & @CRLF)
                Case @error = 3
                    ConsoleWrite("Invalid Data Type" & @CRLF)
                Case @error = 4
                    ConsoleWrite("Invalid Object Type" & @CRLF)
                Case @error = 5
                    ConsoleWrite("Invalid Value" & @CRLF)
            EndSwitch

and heres the error

The object is a flash object on a webpage that appears to be fully loaded

and is the only thing in the gui (no webpage)

Any ideas where Im going wrong ?

Post the output from this:

ConsoleWrite("OBJ = " & ObjName($GUIActiveX) & @LF)

Your error checking is invalid because the Switch/Case usage is wrong, as $v is being compared to the result of another compare operation. In the first case for example, you have this effective check:

If $v = (@error = 0) Then

Edit: Oops, forgot "$" on variable name.

Hey PsaltyDS

Thanks for reply.

F:\NEWGUI\test.au3(146,44) : ERROR: syntax error

ConsoleWrite("OBJ = " & ObjName(GUIActiveX)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

F:\NEWGUI\test.au3 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

[PsaltyDS]

Typo. Just put the missing "$" on the variable name.

[JohnOne]

Sorry, I never noticed that.

Output is simply "OBJ = "

Nothing else, I have no clue on this, its my first venture into any sort of object creation.

[PsaltyDS]

Then $GUIActiveX does not contain a usable object. Post the code where you set that variable.

[JohnOne]

At the risk of getting ran out of town by an angry e-posse.

Apart from using this GUI for my grandaughter to play games without having a browser open, I am also trying to figure out how to get info from and interact with flash, and gingerly taking my first steps.

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")
$hGui = GUICreate("GUI",620,450)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE,10,10,600,400)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Property",285,420,50,20)
GUISetState()
$oIE.Navigate2("http://www.onlineflashgames.org/files/module/games/swfs/a583f8a2595827ac453048b1e4c96abf_1267193598.swf")
while 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $button
            $V = _IEPropertyGet($GUIActiveX,"busy")
            ConsoleWrite($V)
    EndSelect
WEnd

[PsaltyDS]

Oh, you want $oIE, not $GUIActiveX for your _IE* functions. Try:

$V = _IEPropertyGet($oIE,"busy")

Look at the example script in the help file under _IECreateEmbedded().

[JohnOne]

Ah, thats the fella.

Thank you very kindly PsaltyDS.

Much obliged.
