Checking a CheckBox

[monarch684]

What is the difference between this:

$pForm = _IEGetObjByID($oIE,"createKnownAccountNotifyForm")
_IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect($pForm,"print")

which is not working and this:

$pForm = _IEGetObjByID($oIE,"createKnownAccountNotifyForm")
$oPrint = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($pForm,"print")
_IEAction($oPrint,"click")

which does work.

Error:

--> IE.au3 T3.0-1 Warning from function _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch

The reason I am asking, the first example is what I really need.  The checkbox I am trying to check is done so multiple times for each time I need to print a form from a web portal.  I noticed that when I have to click multiple times that the checkbox sometimes stays checked, so when the second example runs it unchecks the checkbox.  I need for the checkbox to be verified first before check or just default to the checked status.

Can you show the HTML code for this "checkbox".

Yea, that was my original post about another issue.  This is a similar but separate issue.

Wait I see what you mean.

I get this

--> IE.au3 T3.0-1 Warning from function _IELinkClickByText, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch

When I run

_IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect($pForm,1,"",1,"byIndex")

Snippet of the code

<form class="validateable" notify-form="true" id="createKnownAccountNotifyForm">
    <input data-mini="true" type="checkbox"  value="true" name="print" class="custom" id="createKnownAccountNotifyFormPrint"/>
    <label for="createKnownAccountNotifyFormPrint">Print</label>
    <input data-mini="true" type="checkbox" name="email" class="custom" value="true"  id="createKnownAccountNotifyFormEmail"/>
    <label for="createKnownAccountNotifyFormEmail">Email</label>

    <blockquote> 
    
        <input data-mini="true" type="checkbox" name="copyMe" class="custom" value="true"  id="createKnownAccountNotifyFormCopyMe" checkbox-dependant="createKnownAccountNotifyFormEmail" disabled/>
        <label for="createKnownAccountNotifyFormCopyMe">Copy me</label>
        </blockquote>
</form>

The code in it's entirety is attached.

So I made this test script:

#include <ie.au3>

_Example()
Func _Example()
    Local $oIE = _IECreate()
    ; REMARK:
    ; Copy to Clipboard HTML Snippet before run this example
    ; as this following line use it
    _IEDocWriteHTML($oIE, ClipGet())
    Local $pForm = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "createKnownAccountNotifyForm")
    _IEFormElementCheckBoxSelect($pForm, 1, "", 1, "byIndex")
EndFunc   ;==>_Example

 

this is ok, working well.

REMARK: you must copy to clipboard your HTML snippet from Post #6

Yes this does work when I copy the snippet, but when I run it inline with the current script does not work.

Bumping this topic as I really need to figure this out before next Monday.  This script is ran once a week and when it errors my guys have no clue how to click a button even though they have been instructed.

I have a thought on how to possibly approach this differently.  Throwing in a If Else statement.  I am at a lose on how to properly write the syntax.  Here is what I have:

Local $pForm = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "createKnownAccountNotifyForm")
   if StringInStr('<label class="ui-focus ui-checkbox-off ui-btn ui-btn-corner-all ui-mini ui-btn-icon-left ui-btn-up-a" for="createKnownAccountNotifyFormPrint" data-theme="a" data-mini="true" data-icon="checkbox-off" data-corners="true" data-shadow="false" data-iconshadow="true" data-wrapperEls="span"><span class="ui-btn-inner"><span class="ui-btn-text">Print</span><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-checkbox-off ui-icon-shadow">&nbsp;</span></span></label>','ui-checkbox-off') Then
      $oPrint = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($pForm,"print")
      _IEAction($oPrint,"click")
   Endif

This always returns true, so my script still unchecks the box.

Here is what I came up with.

if IsDeclared("sRan") Then
      if $sRan = 0 Then
         Local $pForm = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "createKnownAccountNotifyForm")
         $oPrint = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($pForm,"print")
         _IEAction($oPrint,"click")
         Global $sRan = 1
      EndIf

    Else
      Local $pForm = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "createKnownAccountNotifyForm")
      $oPrint = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($pForm,"print")
      _IEAction($oPrint,"click")
      Global $sRan = 1
   EndIf

Is this works for you now ?
