New to AutoIt

[GaryM]

Hi,

I'm new to AutoIt and I'm trying to create a simple script that will open a IE window, change the address and enter a user name and password. This is just a test script for my own education. In the long run I want to do something similar but wait for the user to enter the user name and password before continuing on.

The window opens but the address text box doesn't chnage. It also doesn't end up with the focus. Do I need to pause to make sure the windows is fully open? I have listed the script here. Thanks for the help!!

; Script Start - Add your code below here

Dim $Title1

RunWait("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

$Title1 = WinGetTitle("[active]")

;MsgBox(0, "Window Title", $Title1)

WinActivate($Title1)

ControlFocus($Title1, "", "ToolbarWindow322")

ControlSetText($Title1, "", "ToolbarWindow322", "https://email.secureserver.net/login.php")

;MsgBox(0, "Test Message", "Script Complete")

#include <ie.au3>
$oIE = _iecreate("https://email.secureserver.net/login.php")
$oObject = _IEGetObjByName($oIE,"username")
        _IEPropertySet($oObject, "innertext", "MyUsername")
$oObject = _IEGetObjByName($oIE,"password")
        _IEPropertySet($oObject, "innertext", "MyPassword")

Hi Gary

IE.au3 in your include folder is perfect for this. Read the help file: it's very educational. The functions you are looking for all start with _IE..

To get you started (I have not tested the code):

#include <IE.au3>

; Create a browser window
$oIE = _IECreate ("yoururlhere")

; get pointers to the login form and username, password and signin fields
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "formname") ; you can find the form name in the page source
$o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "login") ; you can find the name of the input in the page source
$o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "password")
$o_signin = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "submitbuttonname") ; you can find the name or id of the button in the page source

$username = "your username here"
$password = "your password here"

; Set field values and submit the form
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_login, $username)
_IEFormElementSetValue ($o_password, $password)
_IEAction ($o_signin, "click")

Thank you for the quick reply! I'll check this out and test it. I know the _IE functions don't apply but would the same type of techniques work for Citrix?

Thansk again.,

Gary

This site is not AutoIt friendly in IE9 browsermode. Submit and click fails. See

Therefore I included my _SetIE8() function.

Here is the modified code:

#include <ie.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
_IEErrorNotify(1)
;#include '_setie8.au3'  ; added below

$oIE = _IECreate("https://email.secureserver.net/login.php")
_setie8($oIE) ; switch to IE8 browsermode
_IEAction($oIE, "refresh")
$oObject = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "username")
_IEPropertySet($oObject, "innertext", "MyUsername")
$oObject = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "password")
_IEPropertySet($oObject, "innertext", "MyPassword")
$oObject = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "login_form")
_IEFormSubmit($oObject)

Exit

Func _SetIE8($_oIE) ; set Browsermode to IE8 since AutoIt has problems with submit in IE9
    If RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IEDevTools", "Pinned") Then RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IEDevTools", "Pinned", "REG_DWORD", 0)
    $hwnd1 = _IEPropertyGet($_oIE, "hwnd")
    $titleOld = _IEPropertyGet($_oIE, "title")
    $titleNew = $titleOld & " " & Random(10000000, 99999999, 1)
    _IEPropertySet($_oIE, "title", $titleNew)
    ControlSend($hwnd1, "", "Internet Explorer_Server1", "{F12}")
    $titleF12 = $titleNew & " - F12"
    WinWait($titleF12, "", 60)
    WinSetState($titleF12, "", @SW_HIDE)
    $hwndF12 = WinGetHandle($titleF12)
    ControlSend($hwndF12, "", "ToolbarWindow321", "{alt}b8")
    Sleep(1000)
    WinClose($hwndF12)
    _IEPropertySet($_oIE, "title", $titleOld)
    WinActivate($hwnd1)
EndFunc   ;==>_SetIE8

Thanks for the update. It worked for me after I changed the username field to loginlist. This is because I have multiple emails that I can signon to. Do you know of any limitations to using AutoIt with Citrix? Thanks again for the help!
