Cant verify IE 10 is running

[AutoitMike]

Using the following:

MsgBox(0,"",WinGetState("[CLASS:IEFrame]", ""))

With IE running and maximized, I get 39, which is "Enabled",  "Exists" "Visible" and "Maximized"

With IE not running , I get 5  which is "Exists" and "Enabled"

How can this be????

My goal is to know if IE is running

Thanks for any help

hi AutoitMike

there's probably some instance of iexplore.exe running and not visible.
try this to see if any iexplore.exe is still running

Local $list = ProcessList("iexplore.exe")
MsgBox(0,"",$list[0][0] & " iexplore.exe still running")

and i do this to kill them all from time to time

.

While ProcessExists("iexplore.exe")
        ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")
    WEnd

.

I get syntax error ("Illegal Character")

underneath the first line

OK, Looks like you fixed it.

If I close IE, the above code shows zero instances , if I open IE , it always shows 2 instances even though I have opened only one instance.

It seems that IE has one more instance than the number of tabs opened.

This takes care of my issues.

Thanks

yes, i can confirm this. there is always an additional hidden ie instance.

firefox, on the other hand, always has only one instance, no matter how many windows you open.
