Recommended Posts

I have a script that reads IE data from the page displayed. It works for multiple pages like I want (really one IE open with multiple tabs for the various pages).

Now, I would like to know if I can have this work but in the background. In other words, I want to be able to read the data ouf of the tabs of the IE but do not want the IE and/or tabs to be actively opened. Make sense???

Thanks

How do you do it now?

If you use the IE UDF there is a visibility flag for function _IECreate.

define the objects, and you can get their values without physically moving between tabs...replace "title#" with your titles, or identify it another way (help file)

#include <IE.au3>
$oie1 = _IEAttach ( "title1" )
$oie2 = _IEAttach ( "title2" )
$oie3 = _IEAttach ( "title2" )
consolewrite (_IEDocReadHTML($oie1))
consolewrite (_IEDocReadHTML($oie2))
consolewrite (_IEDocReadHTML($oie3))

#include <IE.au3>
$oObj = _IEAttach ( "your browser" )
_IEAction ( $oObj, "refresh" )
