_IELoadWait issue

[sooskri]

Hi,

I am having problems with the _IELoadWait. It is giving an error at line 585 "WEnd" when waiting for drop-down or the frame on the page to load. It was suggested on another post that it is "synchronization issue" and wll be fixed.

Is there a fixed version of AutoIT? If not, can somebody give me a little bit more help on how to handle the issue? If instantiate a COM error handler is the only way, can you please send me some lines of code, how would that look like?

Thanks

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum,

Please search the forum for this problem. It has been asked a few times before and I'm sure you'll find a solution

Thank for the welcome. I did use the forum many times before for other issues. Thanks for all the great posts.

I did find a few similar questions before I opened my post, but unfortunately did not find the solution. I would really appreciate if you could direct me to the right place.

Thanks

Can you please post the code you use?

I need to select a value from a drop-down list and then after the page is loaded do something else. Here is the call for the drop down selection.

func fSelectDropDown($formID, $selection)

$form = _IEGetObjById(_IEFrameGetObjByName(_IEAttach("xxxx"), "yyyy"), $formID)

_IEAction($form, "focus")

Sleep(500)

If fGetFormValue($formID) <> $selection Then

_IEFormElementOptionselect($form, $selection, 1, "byText")

_IELoadWait(_IEGetObjById(_IEFrameGetObjByName(_IEAttach("xxxx"), "yyyy"), $formID), 1500)

Sleep(500)

EndIf

EndFunc

I get error intermittently for the _IELoadWait call.

First, I don't think that is your code, because IE.au3 functions pass their values ByRef and will throw errors if you try to nest them that way.

Regarding the WEND error, see the discussion and my recommendation here:

Thank Dale for the link.

You are right. Those function use ByRef, but the function above actually works. I did not pay attention to ByRef and I use nesting in many places in my code and there was no error whatsoever because of that.

I found beta version v3.3.9.4 and I have alpha version v3.3.8.1. I hope that is what you meant in the other post.

Thanks for all your aswer in the forum Dale, I found a lot of answers in them.

[DaleHohm]

No, that is not the Alpha I was referring to. It may be that you don't have access to the Alpha I am referring to. I need to figure out the best way to distribute it since it is not clear when the next refresh release will be made. In the mean time, I will PM you a copy of IE.au3.

Update: oops, you have not been around long enough to use the PM system. Watch the forum for more info on this.

Hi DaleHohm.

I think that fashion of nesting might actually be valid, here's a quote from the help file 3.3.8.1

"unnamed temporary variables, such as function return values, may be passed as ByRef parameters as well"

Please excuse me if I'm wrong.
