Get URL

[Sarah]

I've been toying with the IE library and do like it. One question:

How can I get the current URL from an IE window ?

_IEGetURL($o_object) doesn't seem to exist :">

Thanks for any hints;

Maybe iegetproperty: locationurl? I see some things like that in the version of ie.au3 that I downloaded recently...

Hmm, I look inside the UDF code and observe:

_IECreate - make an instance of your browser object

_IEAttach - attach to an existing browser object

_IENavigate - go to the url

_IEGetProperty - get properties such as address, url, etc (.LocationURL is the one I think you are looking for - use it as $o_object.LocationURL)

_IEQuit - close the browser object

It even has the reference to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....netexplorer.asp inside the code.

Happy reading.

Thanks a lot, _IEGetProperty did the trick nicely.

Sorry but I can find "_iEgetproperty" on help file?

The function name is "_IEPropertyGet" not "_IEGetProperty". "_IEPropertyGet" can be found in the help file.

For future reference xmen, It's frowned upon to bump a 6 year old post.

Either way, [frown] or [no frown]. Thanks for bumping as it put the answer at the top of the list.

It exists in the Help file.

Totally aware. I looked for 5 minutes in the help file, didn't see it and searched here for the answer. In no way would I have asked the OP question without a full search of all my resources.

Thanks for the additional links. I'm sure it will help others.
