IUIAutomation and actual Google Chrome version

FLASHCODER1 · November 7, 2014

Hi my friends,

I've been testing the example (ex5_chrome.au3) that I found in this link => '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> in attachment into EXAMPLES_v0_5.zip and with includes files of UIA_V0_4.zip, before of compile I get an error message that comes from UIAWrappers.au3 file saying like: Variable must be of type "Object", see link below:

http://prntscr.com/540n4i

Then, someone could help me solve this problem?

Any suggestion will welcome!

Thanks in advance.

Which version of autoit? What do you want to accomplish. What is simplespy doing?

Hi Junkew, thank you very much for attention to my question. I'm using:

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Google Chrome v38.0.2125.111

SciTE Version 3.3.0

Autoit V3.3.8.1

and I want retrieve also the value of address bar. I saw in txt log file and I can get others values, like title of active window and others, but not comes value the address bar:

;~  get the value of the addressbar
$myText=""
$oValueP.CurrentValue($myText)
consolewrite("address: " & $myText & @CRLF)
;~ Exit

Please try simplespy.au3 to run first to see if the basics are properly working

junkew · November 10, 2014

make sure no chrome.exe is in your processes. Chrome keeps them around even when you exit chrome (check your advanced settings that no process should be left in background after closing)

Most likely it goes already wrong in main script at this line as no chrome is shown

$oChrome=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($UIA_oDesktop,"class:=Chrome_WidgetWin_1", $treescope_children)

Say me,

the example (ex5_chrome.au3) works fine in your computer?

simplespy.au3, don't have any error in sintaxe, but not retrieves the value of address bar, retrieves only name and type of control: Address and search bar and UIA_EditControlTypeId, respectively.

yes on my system it works

and my simplespy gives the information in UIA_iaccessiblevalue property

*** Detailed properties of the highlighted element ***
UIA_title:= <Adres- en zoekbalk>
UIA_text:= <Adres- en zoekbalk>
UIA_regexptitle:= <Adres- en zoekbalk>
UIA_iaccessiblevalue:= <www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/153520-iuiautomation-ms-framework-automate-chrome-ff-ie/>
UIA_iaccessiblechildId:= <0>

tested against autoit version 3.3.9.17-beta

full output of example 5 (3 tabs are open and 1 is new tab)

Im looking to automate the typing of passwords and usernames in a chrome browser that will work with current versions of chrome. Is this what I'm looking for? Can i achive this using this method?

junkew · November 14, 2014

Yes you can

FLASHCODER1 · November 15, 2014

@Junkew,

Could you provide the executable installer for version 3.3.9.17-beta of Autoit and your SciTE editor used on your test above, please? because I not found any on internet

junkew · November 16, 2014

Please search a little better on mainpage for beta installer. But anyway first check what simplespy tells you and post that over here.

The language of your windows is different (spanish) then english or dutch and as such text/id is not matching and example(s) will not allways work you have to change certain parts and can get this information to hover with simplespy over them pressing ctrl+w and copying relevant parts

it goes wrong already here in your example 5

$oChromeToolbar=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($oChrome,"name:=Google Chrome Toolbar" , $treescope_subtree)

maybe change the name to Barra de endereço e de pesquisa

Looks like you should get simplespy from latest zip or examples and you are not using the latest versions (please download them again)

Latest simple spy should give you working source code directly

Solved! Thank you very much @Junkew.
