_IEAttach issue

[Annonyreeder]

Hello,

I will try and explain my issue best i can without the code as i'm not at work and cannot provide it at this point in time,

Once in work tomorrow i can post the code if needed.

Ive wrote a code at work that uses IEAttach command to attach to a internet window by URL.

However sometimes it is necessary to have 2 of these windows open and they both have the exact same URL and i need it to attach to the "active" most "recent" window however it will always attach to the previous "first" window open.

Is there a way to define the new window over the old one without closing the original? perhaps a different form of "attaching" rather than URL?

Sorry if i'm not being clear if needed i can post my code first thing in the morning.

Thanks

Get handle of "active" window (WinGetHandle() ) and use HWND instead of URL.

Thanks for the reply however i'm not quite sure what you mean i have not used HWD or Winhandles befor

$sUrl = "http://172.30.238.40/CAisd/html/popup_frames.html?POPUP_URLIX=1+popupType=1"
$oIE = _IEAttach($sUrl, "url")
If not isObj($oIE) Then
  $sUrl = "http://172.30.238.40/CAisd/html/popup_frames.html?POPUP_URLIX=0+popupType=1"
    $oIE = _IEAttach($sUrl, "url")
 If not isObj($oIE) Then
msgbox("", "Error// Mismatch address", "An error occurred, Reload application. If error persists contact Anthony")
exit

 

This is my current form of attaching where/how would i incorporate this into the script?
Many thanks

$HWND = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")

_IEAttach($HWND, "HWND")

    WinWaitActive("Create New Incident")
$sUrl = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
$oIE = _IEAttach($sUrl, "HWND")
If not isObj($oIE) Then
$sUrl = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
$oIE = _IEAttach($sUrl, "HWND")

This one should help you :

$test = ProcessList("iexplore.exe")
_ArrayDisplay($test)
Exit

That way you can choose to which instance to attach to , and not rely on the active window !
