If loop questions (easy)

[psychoblast]

Sorry i am not very familiar with autoit syntax and help files dont help much. What I want to do is have an if loop.

If a certain form exists (in IE) then call a certain function or do a certain operation.

Is there an IE function to see if a certain form exists?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure about _IE* functions, but there probably is

Mybe_IEPropertyGet

But WinExists native function will certainly do that job

Few things to note

I'm not sure it's appropriate to label your topic as "Easy" if you don't know how to do it.

The help files do help, and very much.

Your topic is not really about and "if loop"

well my bad it might not be easy :/ but the concept is.

Here is what i have so far. however it gives me syntax error.

$oValue = _IEFormElementGetValue(ByRef $oFormR)
If  $oValue > 0 Then

_Main()
Func _Main()
    Sleep (7000)
Local $hBitmap, $hClone, $hImage, $iX, $iY
    ; Initialize GDI+ library
    _GDIPlus_Startup()
    ; Capture 32 bit bitmap
    $hBitmap = _ScreenCapture_Capture("")
    $hImage = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hBitmap)
    ; Create 24 bit bitmap clone
    $iX = 200
    $iY = 70
    $hClone = _GDIPlus_BitmapCloneArea($hImage, 248, 602, $iX, $iY, $GDIP_PXF24RGB)
    ; Save bitmap to file
    _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hClone, @DesktopDir & "GDIPlus_Image.bmp")
    ; Clean up resources
    _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hClone)
    _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
    _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap)
    ; Shut down GDI+ library
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
EndFunc   ;==>_Main
Sleep (2000)
$oFormR=_IEGetObjByName($oIE,"response")
_IEAction($oFormR, "focus")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oFormR,"Thanks")
ElseIf $oValue == 0 Then
MsgBox (0,"attention", "no form found")
EndIf

basically this code does this. if a certain form is found on a page then it does the main function which takes a picture and crops it. However, if IEFormelement returns the value 0 meaning the form was not found i want a message box to appear

Move the function body outside of your if..elseif..endif condition, below it or above it, it does not matter.
