MJB Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Hi All, I've been trying to get the kioskwatch3 to work on XP with IE8 I have it running OK but with one problem, when the 2 minutes of inactivity is reached it closes IE but then it starts to close all other open windows at 2 minute intervals. Here is the amended code: expandcollapse popup; kioskwatch3.au3 ; March 9, 2004 ; Built with AutoIt3 ; Starts Internet Explorer in Kiosk Mode and ; prevents any (Ctrl +) HotKeys from being used. ; March 3, 2004: Added Maintenance Mode ; Maintenance Mode starts a Command Prompt ; March 4, 2004: Script now block (Alt + Tab), ; and will close any Pop-up windows ; March 9, 2004: Added the function to check for 2 minutes of Idle Time Global $StartTime ; Read in Maintenance Password $maintpw = IniRead("C:\kw3.ini", "Settings", "PW", "") Call ("StartTimer") Run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -k http://www.google.com/") AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2);2 = Any Substring While 1;Infinite Loop ; Handles IdleTime $MPos1 = MouseGetPos() $CPos1 = WinGetCaretPos() ; Handles Hotkeys If WinActive(" - Microsoft Internet Explorer") Then HotKeySet("!{TAB}", "Block") HotKeySet("^h", "Block") HotKeySet("^a", "Block") HotKeySet("^b", "Block") HotKeySet("^c", "Block") HotKeySet("^f", "Block") HotKeySet("^l", "Block") HotKeySet("^n", "Block") HotKeySet("^o", "Block") HotKeySet("^p", "Block") HotKeySet("^s", "Block") HotKeySet("^v", "Block") HotKeySet("^w", "Block") HotKeySet("^x", "Block") HotKeySet("^!z", "Maintenance") EndIf ; Block Pop-ups If WinExists("Connect to URL") Then WinClose("Connect to URL") EndIf If WinExists("Microsoft Internet Explorer", "&Yes") Then WinActivate("Microsoft Internet Explorer", "&Yes") Send("!y") EndIf ; Handles IdleTime (Continued) $MPos2 = MouseGetPos() $CPos2 = WinGetCaretPos() If $MPos1[0] <> $MPos2[0] Then Call("StartTimer") ElseIf $CPos1[0] <> $CPos2[0] Then Call("StartTimer") EndIf $EndTime = TimerDiff($StartTime) If $EndTime > 120000 Then;120000 = 2 minutes Call("CloseIE") ; ProcessClose ("iexplorer.exe") Send("!{F4}");Closes the Internet Explorer Window Call("StartTimer") EndIf Sleep(3);Reduces the load this script puts on the CPU time WEnd Func Block() EndFunc Func StartTimer() $StartTime = TimerInit() EndFunc Func CloseIE() $title = WinGetTitle(" - Microsoft Internet Explorer") If $title <> "MyView - Microsoft Internet Explorer" Then Send("!{F4}");Closes the Internet Explorer Window EndIf EndFunc Func Maintenance() $Password = InputBox("AutoIT3 - KioskWatch3 Maintenance Mode", "Enter KioskWatch3 Maintenance Mode Password:", "", "*") If $Password = $maintpw Then Run("cmd") Else MsgBox(0, "AutoIT3 - KioskWatch3 Maintenance Mode", "Invalid Password!", 3) EndIf EndFunc Can anyone help with where I'm going wrong. Cheers

MJB Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 No worries, a bit more head scratching and I've fixed it. Replaced: Send("!{F4}") With: ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")
MJB Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 On another note, anyone have an example of kw3.ini
MJB Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 OK, got this running nicely now but have one problem, embeded links within the webpage open in a new window and in full screen. Any way of getting these links to open in kiosk mode also? I have no control over the links by the way. Thanks in advance.
