ControlGetPos()

[JohnOne]

Can someone check that controlgetpos() returns the correct position of the browser

area of Internet explorer?

I'm using IE 8 and for me it returns incorrect Y pos

It return 67 for me, when the actual mouse Y pos is 89 (Maximized)

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

$wind = "Windows Internet Explorer"
$Class = "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]"

WinActivate($wind)

$pos = ControlGetPos($wind,"",$Class)

If IsArray($pos) Then
ConsoleWrite($pos[0] & @LF & $pos[1] & @LF & $pos[2] & @LF & $pos[3] & @LF )

MouseMove($pos[0],$pos[1])
EndIf

Returns 93 for me and the actual Y position in 93. So it returns correct.

Maybe a toolbar or something is affecting it for you

[JohnOne]

What IE version are you using?

EDIT:

There are no toolbars, that script moves the mouse half way up the IE favourites button for me.

Works fine on all other windows I've tried, including chrome with and without toolbars.

Just seems to be IE, it's cracking me up a bit.

Im using 8.

It doesnt move on favorite button for me. Just a random mousemove on the screen.

But thats normal depends on the display setting u have on ur browser.

Even though if u want to click on a button use some coords on ur mouse or do an IE click why bothering like this

[JohnOne]

It's not random,your mouse should move to x,y co-ordinates 0,98 for you

which should be the top left of actual browser area of IE.

If I want to draw something on a control I need to know where that control is

and It's just not finding it for me.

If you change ControlgetPos to WingetPos() (obviously remove $Class) what do you get

for IE xy, I get -8,-8 which is also weird because I'd expect 0,0.

[JohnOne]

What seems to be going on here is, the window is located at Y pos -8

and it seems to be the client area of the window being returned rather than the control position.

Doing my head in, anyone else see this behaviour?

EDIT:

Here is another issue, I have noticed while trying to solve this.

Window is maximized

WinMove($wind,"",0,0) ; does not work, window is not moved (unexpected)
WinMove($wind,"",-1,-1) ; Moves window to 7,7 (unexpected)
WinMove($wind,"",1,1) ; Moves window to 1,1 (expected)

Shameless Bump.

I just want to find out if it is only me who gets these results, I know the other poster said no.

All you have to do is have an IE window open, and window info tool unfrozen , run script, and tell me the

control info from the window info tool.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
Local $aCPos = _IEBrowserControlXY()
MouseMove($aCPos[0], $aCPos[1])
WinActivate("AutoIt v3 Window Info")
Sleep(200)
Send("^!f")


Func _IEBrowserControlXY()
Local $aXY[2] = [0, 0]
Local $Wind = "Windows Internet Explorer"
Local $Class = "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]"
Local $Winpos = WinGetPos($Wind)
Local $pos = ControlGetPos($Wind, "", $Class)

WinActivate($Wind)

If IsArray($pos) Then
$aXY[0] = $Winpos[0] + $pos[0]
$aXY[1] = $Winpos[1] + $pos[1]
EndIf

Return $aXY
EndFunc   ;==>_IEBrowserControlXY

I run Windows 7 64 Bit and IE 9. The Window Info Tool, Control Tab doesn't show any data.

Here is a screenshot of the mouse position.

[JohnOne]

Thanks water, it sure looks there that it has the y pos correct though.

You think that code is flawed, to me it should display the browser control in window info.
