Working with IE windows

[Docfxit]

I'm getting a syntax error on the Msgbox line.

#include <Array.au3>

    $aWinList = WinList("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:WordPerfect Office X6", "")
    MsgBox(64, "$aWinList", _ArrayDisplay($aWinList, "Win List")

 

Could I please get some help in resolving the syntax error?

Thank you,

Docfxit

I believe you need to close the brackets.  You have a left-bracket before CLASS, and no end bracket (likely one is needed after X6).

Hope that helps...this is my first post here.

You are correct.  Thanks for the help.

I'm trying to figure out why I'm not getting anything in the array in this code:

#include <Array.au3>



    $aWinList = WinList("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:WordPerfect Office X6", "")

    MsgBox(64, "$aWinList", _ArrayDisplay($aWinList, "Win List"))

Nothing shows up in the array even though the window is active.

Thanks,

As Mizerak pointed out, you're still missing the ending bracket.

#include <Array.au3>
$aWinList = WinList("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:WordPerfect Office X6]", "")
MsgBox(64, "$aWinList", _ArrayDisplay($aWinList, "Win List"))

[Docfxit]

I added the end bracket.  I'm not getting a syntax error any more.

Thanks,

So the code I posted is working for you now?

The code you posted in >post #4 still didn't have the end bracket, which will not pop a syntax error since it's a valid string as a parameter.

I'm guessing the syntax error you corrected was adding a closing parentheses to the message box.  I'm talking about the missing bracket that I added in for you here:

$aWinList = WinList("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:WordPerfect Office X6]", "")

That's super.  Thank you very much.  That fixed it.  I didn't see the change you made the first time.

Thanks,

I'm getting an error 7 = No Match on _IEAttach

#include <Array.au3>



$aWinList = WinList("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:WordPerfect Office X6]", "")

For $n = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]

    MsgBox(64, "$aWinList", _ArrayDisplay($aWinList, "Win List") & @CRLF & "-" & $n & "-")



    ; Test for Instance IE

    $oIE = _IEAttach("[$aWinList[$n][1]; INSTANCE:1]")

    MsgBox(64, "$oIE", $oIE & @CRLF & "-" & @error & "-")



Next

I don't understan why I wouldn't be getting error 0 = No Error.

Thanks,

Try defining the $s_mode parameter as "Embedded":

$oIE = _IEAttach("[$aWinList[$n][1]; INSTANCE:1]", "Embedded")

[BrewManNH]

_IEAttach("[$aWinList[$n][1]; INSTANCE:1]")

This is a string. You need to use this instead.

_IEAttach("[" & $aWinList[$n][1] & "; INSTANCE:1]")

[DW1]

This is a string. You need to use this instead.

_IEAttach("[" & $aWinList[$n][1] & "; INSTANCE:1]")

/facepalm

Haha, I totally focused on the wrong spot, jumping straight to "Embedded" and posting the same mistake back to the OP.  Thanks BrewMan

It's possible that I solved one problem and BrewMan solved another.

Try combining them.

_IEAttach("[" & $aWinList[$n][1] & "; INSTANCE:1]", "Embedded")

Let us know how it goes.

[BrewManNH]

Try it without using the instance parameter, also it might not be considered an Internet Explorer browser which is why it won't find it.

One other thing, what does $aWinList[$n][1] contain? Is there a valid handle in that element?

Thanks for taking a stab at it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried:

$oIE = _IEAttach("[" & $aWinList[$n][1] & "]")

I'm still getting error 7 = No Match on _IEAttach

$aWinList contains this:

$n contains 1

Thank you very much for the help.

Try this, seeing as how you're using a handle instead of a title string.

$oIE = _IEAttach("[" & $aWinList[$n][1] & "]", "HWND")

If you think I'd be better off using a title I'd be happy to.

What would the string look like?

Thanks,
