Detecting IE Scrollbars

[chappy]

I'm trying to use the mouse to activate the down scrollbar on several dynamic webpages. On occasion they open with the addition of the bottom scrollbar -- which messes up the placement of the mouseclick event for the down scrollbar.

Is there a way to detect if the bottom scrollbar is present ??

thanks

Hi!

A dirty way would lead over the PixelGetColor() function.

rather than using the scroll bar, you could use arrow keys...

Send("{DOWN}"); to scroll down as if you'd clicked the down arrow on the scrollbar once...

You can also do this with COM... you then don't have to worry about the sctual scroll bars

Using IE.au3,

#include <IE.au3>

$scroll = 250; pixels
;;; Note: $oIE.document.body.clientHeight gives a number close to the scroll increment, 
;;; but it goes a little too far... I can't find anything that gives the exectly correct value

$oIE = _IEAttach("your-browser-title")
$oIE.document.parentwindow.scrollBy(0, $scroll)
