How to Send() to any GUI Control? HELP ME

[Yekuro]

I am working in a New project... But I need to know how to use Send() to an Object

$Exp = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")
$ExpGUI = GUICtrlCreateObj($Exp, 320, 8, 449, 417)
$Exp.navigate("http://example.net")

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the object

How to send keys to that specific object?

($Exp object)

Have a look at ControlSend in the helpfile.

I can't understand how to use it.

(How to fill the boxes)

Title <- Users can change it... And I don't know what's the title (How to know the title?)

Text <- What to put here?

Control ID <- I don't know how to put it ($Exp, $ExpGUI, Exp, ExpGUI...) and... If it's not my web page, how can I know the controls, get the names, or the text of the controls of a input in a page?

String <- Ok.

Flag <- Ok.

Welcome to the AutoIt forums Yekuro.  What exactly are you trying to accomplish, because based on what I see so far, and assume so far, you will likely be better off using the _IE functions.  Take a look in the help file at _IECreate() and the related functions in IE.au3

An example from the help file showing how to set the value of a text input on a webpage:

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IE_Example("form")
Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "ExampleForm")
Local $oText = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "textExample")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oText, "Hey! This works!")

_IEFormElementSetValue($oText, "Hey! This works!")

 

Didn't help.

And when I use _IE commands correctly, with #include <IE.au3>, it gives syntax error, and moves me to IE.au3 

EDIT : Solved problems with _IE commands.

How do I use Send() in a embedded IE? -> _IECreateEmbedded()

$Exp = _IECreateEmbedded()
$ExpGUI = GUICtrlCreateObj($Exp, 320, 8, 449, 417)
_IENavigate($Exp, "http://example.com")

My whole point was for you to avoid using send altogether since it is kind of sloppy to be honest.  What exactly are you trying to do, and perhaps there is a better solution.

As for Send(), you cannot use it with the object like that, it just sends keystrokes as if you typed them yourself, and controlsend() is going to send to a window/control, again not an object like that.

We can help you better if you are more clear on what you are trying to accomplish

Yekuro,

As we now know this request is not acceptable under the Forum rules and you are not in position to respond for a while - there seems little point in the thread staying open.
