Can you use _IEAction("","Copy") with a Input field?

[Annonyreeder]

$o_frame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 3)
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($o_frame, "main_form")
$oInput = _IEGetObjByName($o_form, "KEY.zResolveCategory")

_IEAction($oInput, "selectall")
_IEAction($oInput, "copy")

 

Can anyone tell me why this isnt woring? i need it to copy the field so i can paste it into another, Thanks

If you run your script from SciTE, what do you get in the output pane? Any error messages?

Nah theres no errors, it just doesnt click/copy or select the field, though if i use IEElementsetData that works fine.

Can anyone tell me why this isnt working?

"not working" means: The Clipboard is empty when your script ends? Does the content of the input field get selected?

dumb question but did you focus on element before trying to sellect text?

 

ouh and small edit: i think sellect all is to sellect whall document if no focus so focus on specific object before that

 

 

and another edit:

test

#include <IE.au3>
Local $oIE_form = _IE_Example("form")
_IELoadWait($oIE_form)
$oInput = _IEGetObjByName($oIE_form, "textExample")
_IEAction($oInput,'focus')
_IEAction($oInput, "selectall")
;or
;~ $oInput.document.parentwindow.execScript("javascript:document.execCommand('selectAll',false,null)", "javascript")
_IEAction($oInput, "copy")

^{Ahh no i wasnt focus first, i didn't realise i had to lol, thanks it works now}

_IELoadWait($oIE)
$o_frame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 3)
$o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($o_frame, "main_form")
$oInput = _IEGetObjByName($o_form, "KEY.zResolveCategory")
_IEAction ($oInput, "focus")
_IEAction ($oInput, "selectall")
_IEAction ($oInput, "copy")

well i to did not know but when i look at java code, selecting something specific is done with OnClick event, so its just a normal thinking that when you click you get focus and text get sellected

glad to be of help

_IEAction,

"selectall" Selects the entire document.

 

What makes you think it would select the contents of a form field?

It looks like you should be using _IEFormElementGetValue
