How do I send web address into the address bar in Google Chrome?

Try something like this :

ControlSetText ( WinWait ( "[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]" ), '', 'Chrome_AutocompleteEditView1', 'http://www.google.fr/' )

[livemesseng]

Sleep(2000)

ControlSetText ( WinWait ( "[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]" ), '', 'Chrome_AutocompleteEditView', 'http://www.google.fr/'

Did you verify Class and CtrlId with your AutoIt Window Info Tools ?

Chrome change from time to time this so this will work on my version, but i dono if itl work on your

MsgBox(0,"",WinGetTitle("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]"))
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]")
$var = ControlGetText("", "", "[CLASS:Chrome_OmniboxView]")
MsgBox(0,"",$var)
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]")
ControlSetText ( "", "", "[CLASSNN:Chrome_OmniboxView1]", "http://www.google.fr/" )
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]")
$var = ControlGetText("", "", "[CLASS:Chrome_OmniboxView]")
MsgBox(0,"",$var)

the point is using "" for win name after that is confirmed that win is active

handle will not work if im not wrong (because of something like window over window with identical class or wrong focus)

is it somehow a bad idea to just

send("{F6}")
sleep(500)
send($urlstring, 1)

it is if you dono where focus is, and on chrome at this point its hard to detect

so activating and with no win title is the best way to go if im not wrong

I was thinking F6 set the focus to the address bar (in chrome and ie). It does for me.

edit: I suppose I see never mind.

F6 is send("{F6}") not send("F6"), edit your code up there pls ^^

I just woke up, I should make some coffee. Thanks for the edit. ^^

maby fast solution to handle if needed is, to get handle of win, after it trigerr the wingettitle from that handle, and if not wingettitle then winkill handle

Eg.

MsgBox(0,"Before",WinGetTitle("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]"))
$ch1 = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]")
If Not WinGetTitle($ch1) Then WinKill($ch1)
MsgBox(0,"After ;)",WinGetTitle("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_0]"))

Note that im not shure of the problems that will reproduce bu killing that win

Try it this way too, and don't forget the closing parenthesis (round bracket)

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
ControlSetText('Google Chrome', '', 'Chrome_AutocompleteEditView1', 'http://www.google.fr/' )
