Input Values into a IE search box? [Solved]

[SkysLastChance]

I am trying to type a name in patient summary search box. How should I go about doing this. I am clearly not doing it right. (Attached Picture of HTML code.)

This is what I have tried. I assume this is not working because it is not a form? 

WinActivate("MEDITECH - Internet Explorer")
      Sleep (500)
   $oIE = _IEAttach("MEDITECH")
   $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "systemMenu")
   $oText = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "sysmenu-searchbarinput")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oText, "Hey! This works!")

try other IE functions like

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_IETagNameGetCollection.htm

it could be you have multiple frames then it gets more complex

If there's not a form, then use _IEGetObjById to get the element and then you can actually use _IEFormElementSetValue to set it's value.

WinActivate("MEDITECH - Internet Explorer")
      Sleep (500)
   $oIE = _IEAttach("MEDITECH")
   
   
   $oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "sysmenu-searchbarinput")
   _IEAction($oDiv, "click")
   _IEFormElementSetValue($oDiv, "Hello")

 

This worked like a charm. 

However, My click is not working. I want to click it because if I don't it looks like this. (it still works, just looks bad)

Any ideas?

 

 

Edit: _IEAction($oDiv, "focus") worked. I am still having a hard time clicking things though.
