AutoIt3ExecuteLine quotes/syntax

[gcue]

i am trying to run a line outside of my script so that the gui doesnt become unresponsive... im unable to get the syntax right though..

can anyone assist?

Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "_IENavigate(' & $IE & ',' & $URL, 0) "')

[Xenobiologist]

Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "_IENavigate(' & $IE & ',' & $URL &',' & 0 & ')"')

[gcue]

i got an error:

_IENavigate(,c:\temp\camera.html,0)

_IENavigate(,C^error

missing seperator character after keyword

thanks Xeno

Okay, you need to quote the strings or your variables.

Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "_IENavigate("' & $IE & '","' & $URL & '",' & 0 & ')"')

In this case variable $IE is empty or not used before.

[gcue]

new error:

_IENavigate(",c:\temp\camera.html,0)

_IENavigate(^error

error: string missing closing quote

dont see where else to put quotes - looks fine to me

thanks again Xeno

water:

$ie is not empty and is defined

How about this?

Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine ''_IENavigate("' & $IE & '","' & $URL & ''',' & 0 & ')"')

[gcue]

'_IENavigate(,C:\TEMP\Camera.html',0)

^ERROR

error: unable to parse line.

I don't think you can do what you want at all.

_IENavigate needs an "Object variable of an InternetExplorer.Application, Window or Frame object" (according to the help file). This parameter is passed ByRef.

I don't think you can pass a pointer to another process and access the address space of the calling process the way you want to do it.

But maybe an AutoIt guru can shed some light on this.

I guess water is correct. But this seems correct in the console although it doesn't work at all.

#include <IE.au3>
$URL = "www.autoitscript.com"
$oIE = _IECreate ("bild.de")
ConsoleWrite('_IENavigate(' & $oIE & ',"' & $URL & '",' & 0 & ')' & @CRLF)
Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "_IENavigate(' & $oIE & ',"' & $URL & '",' & 0 & ')"')

[gcue]

what about on a custom function like this one? can it be used with it?

_CopyWithProgress($source_path, $source_path, $target_path)

Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "_CopyWithProgress("' & $source_path & '","' & $source_path & '","' & $target_path & ')"')

Every function that you can pass the "content" of the parameters not just a pointer to it can be used - IMHO.

Check the function you want to use in the help file. If you find a "ByRef" for any of the parameters then you're out of luck.

BTW: /AutoIt3ExecuteLine seems to execute a single line only. So you can only execute lines "internal" to AutoIt. No #include allowed.

if i can't use /AutoIt3ExecuteLine any other way i can execute the ienavigate so that the gui doesnt become unresponsive?

[water]

Why not just do a

ShellExecute("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe", $URL)

im creating a gui to execute it in bc i want to control its size and i have a combobox to toggle other pages

[water]

Then put everything you need in a second script and start it from your main script.

[gcue]

wouldnt the second gui then become unresponsive?

Wait, in your first post you just wanted to start IE and open an URL.

I understand that you want to GUI stuff in script1 and the IE think in parallel in script2. Right?

If not you need to elaborate a bit more.

sorry about that water..

i have a gui with an IE Embedded object and i use the gui to IENavigate to a website. it has a combobox to change to different sites.

This is the function of script2?

If you use run or shellexecute to start script2 from script1 then you start a complete independant process and script1 keeps on running.
