Compatibility view settings IE

[antonioj84]

1. if open in internet explorer then you send a command  ALT T then I want to know how to get focus of  the menu  "Compatibility View Settings".

2.how do I hide the Menu 

 

I have been pondering how  to tackle this  for awhile now  and  any any tips or snippet is more  than welcome

Send("{DOWN 11}")

Alt > T > B

[antonioj84]

these are easy answer {send down 11} no because the postion vary between Internet explorer version and the script support IE8 to IE 11

again alt T B I agree this solution is close but not robust in many stance in stress test the B will be dropped, here is my solution or someone can  improve on the code

 

#include<ie.au3>

$oie = _IECreate("about:blank")
$ie_handle = _IEPropertyGet($oie, "hwnd")
winwait($ie_handle)    ; you need to add to wait for the browser to load otherwise it will not send the alt "t" to correct menu
ControlSend($ie_handle, "", "", "!t")
$hWnd=""
Do
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32768]", "")
WinSetState($hWnd, "", @SW_HIDE)
Until $hWnd <> ""
ConsoleWrite($hWnd & @CRLF)

winwaitnoactive($hWnd)    ;  will wait until the windows is active not missing the b
ControlSend($hWnd, "", "", "b {enter}")

When you post your code please use code tags.

Look in "How to post code on the forum" in my signature.

And Before you post use tidy.exe (Just press CTRL + T in SciTE4AutoIT )

Hey John one

your suggestion did work it give focus to the menu windows as a matter of fact you do not need to send ("down 11") sending down once give focus.

however I wanted to create a loop to  read the menu option

 like:

do
send("down")

until
there is a match  then send ("b")

how to read the menu

[antonioj84]

#include<ie.au3>

local $n = "Compatibility View Settings"
$oie = _IECreate("about:blank")
$ie_handle = _IEPropertyGet($oie, "hwnd")
winwait($ie_handle)    ; you need to add to wait for the browser to load otherwise it will not send the alt "t" to correct menu
ControlSend($ie_handle, "", "", "!t")
 

$hWnd=""
while 1

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32768]", "")
ControlSend($hWnd,"","","{down }")
if GUICtrlRead($hWnd) = $n Then
 ControlSend($hWnd, "", "", "B{enter}")
ExitLoop  ; if match exit loop
 

Else  ; continue
EndIf
ConsoleWrite($hWnd & @CRLF)
WinWaitNotActive($hWnd)    ;  will wait until the windows is active not missing the b
sleep(100)
WEnd
 

; can someone test that code for me see if it make sense not sure If I am really reading
