Running in Background

[WHRobin566]

Is it possible to have internet explorer to run in the background so they can't see it and get some text from a site?

Thanks!

In Run() put @SW_HIDE? And then ControlGetText? Dunno, what your trying to do really, looks fishy... but this is just a guess.

Well all im really doing is its like inputbox you type in a website and it gets the text from the website they put in.

Not sure why anyone would need that but i might use it .

O yea almost forget what is the internet explorer called?

i tryed.

Run("iexplore.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)

But that didnt work...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

If you know the title, then try WinGetText() . I don't mess w/ browsers, so again I'm just guessing.

Thanks!

Have you tried getting it out of the View Source?

[WHRobin566]

Well how would you do that?

Have to open a view source on a hidden browser.

Then how do you take out all the fancy html stuff?

That be very hard.

Thanks tho!

Edit: I think its impossible to get text off a site without like 500 lines of codeing to view the source and remove all that html.

Err so much for my program.

Wasted all that time trying to make it.

Yes... Getting the source is so hard...

InetGet()

[WHRobin566]

Well ok..

But anyways if you use objcreate and set visable to false then can you use the ctrlsend to use ctrl + a ctrl + c?

I tryed but i dont think it works.

Thanks!

[WHRobin566]

I found out how to do it.

Thanks everyone!

Have you submitted this in the Scripts and Scraps forum for review?

If you took all this time to create this I am sure someone would like to see how you completed your objective.
