Disable IE scrollbars

[muhmuuh]

Hello!

I've got a question - is there a way to disable the vertical and horizontal scrollbars in an IE window? With the _IEPropertySet functoin I can disable the addressbar, the toolbar, the menubar but I didn't find a way to disable the scrollbars. Any ideas?

Many thanks

I'm soory. My first search was bad. I found what I needed -

$ie.document.body.scroll = "no"

Many thanks to DaleHohm! (once again)

hmm...

It seems it doesn't work

This is my program and the scrollbars are still active

$ie=_IECreate('www.google.com', 0, 1, 0)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "width", 400)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "height", 350)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "addressbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "menubar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "statusbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "toolbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "resizable", False)

_IELoadWait($ie)
$ie.document.body.scroll = "no"

Any ideas?

They are from the document style

$ie.document.body.scroll = "no"

$ie.document.body.style.overflow = "hidden"

Strange thing...

With this code it works (the scrollbars disapper)

#include <Ie.au3>
$ie=_IECreate('www.yahoo.com', 0, 1, 0)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "width", 400)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "height", 350)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "addressbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "menubar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "statusbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "toolbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "resizable", False)

_IELoadWait($ie)
$ie.document.body.scroll = "NO"
$ie.document.body.style.overflow = "hidden"

but with this one it doesn't (the scrollbars are still active)

#include <Ie.au3>
$ie=_IECreate('www.google.com', 0, 1, 0)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "width", 400)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "height", 350)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "addressbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "menubar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "statusbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "toolbar", False)
_IEPropertySet($ie, "resizable", False)

_IELoadWait($ie)
$ie.document.body.scroll = "NO"
$ie.document.body.style.overflow = "hidden"

As you can see the only change is in the url (which I thought was not important in this situation). I can't find a reason why it works with yahoo.com and it doesn't with google.com

Edit: After some more testing I found out that it works for some sites and for some it doesn't and I can't find any relation

Than in the IE documentation I found that

SCROLL=NO does-not prevent window-zoom-level (statusbar lower right) from putting-on horizontal scrollbars ....

(e.g. zoomed-in HD-narrowed pages scrollbar horizontally into colorspace at-whim).

The yahoo page is long and by default it has scrollbars, the google page is short and gets scrollbars only when the window is resized (like in my program). Is this why .scroll = "NO" works with yahoo and not with google? It sounds very weird to me...

I hope that you can understand the problem from my explanation. Many thanks in advance

It works for me on google. I'm using IE8, you?

IE7

As I said it works on some sites and it doesn't on others... What's the logic?

I try with IE8, and it work. I think the problem is your IE7

[DaleHohm]

I'm afraid it is a bug in IE7... google IE7 overflow hidden and you will find a lot of matches... search and you may find a workaround.

Heya, i tryed out this code and it works perfectly apart from as soon as i load a new page or click a link the scrollbars come back ?

Is this normal or do i need to put in some loop code or a condiction to stop this from happening

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
$hGui = GUICreate('Test',800,600)
GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE,0,0,800,600)
_IENavigate($oIE,"http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/forum/2-general-help-and-support/")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGui)

_HideScroll($oIE)

Do
Until Sleep(10) * GUIGetMsg()==-3

Func _HideScroll($Temp_Object)
Local $hText = 'var temp_h1 = document.body.clientHeight;'& _
     'var temp_h2 = document.documentElement.clientHeight;'& _
     'var isXhtml = (temp_h2<=temp_h1&&temp_h2!=0)?true:false;'& _
     'var htmlbody = isXhtml?document.documentElement:document.body;'& _
     'htmlbody.style.overflow = "hidden";'
$Temp_Object.document.parentwindow.execscript($hText,"javascript")
EndFunc

#include

$ie=_IECreate('http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/', 0, 1, 0)

_IELoadWait($ie)

GUISetState()

Do

$ie.document.body.scroll = "NO"

$ie.document.body.style.overflow = "hidden"

Until GUIGetMsg() = 1

Its far from perfect "i am new here" but is there any way i could put a loop that ends when IE is closed
