_FFClick() always executes _FFLoadWait() !!!

[JimbowGT]

Hey Everyone,

I got a Problem with the UDF FF.au3 by Thorsten Willert. I want to use _FFClick() to click on a button (which works just fine) but in the Time the page needs to load i would like to do other stuff in a different Firefox window.

Even though i used _FFClick("button", "id", 0, False) it always waits till the page is loaded before it continues to go on with the script.

Is there a way to get rid of this problem?

 

PS: I hope this is the right place to post this topic

You can't do two things at the same time with AutoIt.

Can you post some sample code to demonstrate the issue? Also, what version of FF.au3 are you using?

I'm not really trying to do two things at the same time, I only want my script to go on without waiting for the page to load.

My FF.au3 Version is 0.6.0.1b-7 (since 0.6.0.1b-3 has a Problem with _FFClick())

Here is Part of the Code:

Global $aInstanz[2]

_FFStart("www.google.com", "default", 1, False, "127.0.0.1", 4242)
$aInstanz[0] = $_FF_GLOBAL_SOCKET


_FFStart("www.yahoo.com", "default", 1, False, "127.0.0.1", 4242)
$aInstanz[1] = $_FF_GLOBAL_SOCKET


Func function1()
    $_FF_GLOBAL_SOCKET = $aInstanz[0]
    If _FFIsConnected() = 0 Then
        _FFConnect()
    EndIf
    _FFTabSetSelected("First Tab","label")
    WinActivate("First Tab - Mozilla Firefox")
    WinWaitActive("First Tab - Mozilla Firefox")
    _FFFormCheckBox("Checkbox", False, 0, "id", "form1", "name")
    _FFClick("button1", "id", 0, False)    ;This is part where it shouldn't wait till the page is loaded
    function2()
EndFunc

Func function2()
    $_FF_GLOBAL_SOCKET = $aInstanz[1]
    If _FFIsConnected() = 0 Then
        _FFConnect()
    EndIf
    _FFTabSetSelected("other Tab","label")
    WinActivate("other Window")
    WinWaitActive("other Window")
    _FFFrameEnter("Frame1", "id")
    _FFLinkClick("Strg + Q", "title")
    Send("{Enter}")
EndFunc

I changed the names of the ids and the Websites, because its workstuff and you couldn't acces the websites anyway. But accept for that this is the code I'm struggling with.

The Problem here is that in function1() I dont wont to wait for the page to load when I use _FFClick("button1", "id", 0, False) (its not relevant for the further process) and just click the Button and move on with function2()

I thought the last argument in _FFClick() which I set to False would do that, but for some reason it still waits for the page to load.

I noticed that you are using WinActivate and WinWaitActive. Can you explain why those are there?

FWIW, here's how I switch window's in FF:

If _FFWindowSelect('www.google.com', 'href', False) And _
  _FFTabSetSelected('www.google.com', 'href') Then
  *-- Do stuff here
Else
  *-- Error handling here
EndIf

Try running your script in SciTE and posting the results from the output window here.

I use WinActivate und WinWaitActive because they do what i want them to do they switch between the different Windows but i'll try your solution as well and see if its works better for my purposes.

If I run function1() Scite gives me this output:

Problem lays in line 27 where it says: _FFLoadWait: . loaded in 13ms

This _FFLoadWait should not be there since i use the False Argument in _FFClick()

Edit: I just realized, that i don't need to switch the firefox windows at all, since I save the $_FF_GLOBAL_SOCKET and therefor can directly choose the window i want to control.
