Unable to attach an IE Instance

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi all 

 

I've tried some stuff to attach an ie window however it fails repeatedly  

 

This is in the main file where I used a com error notify function to handle IE errors 

expandcollapse popup

$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc")    ; Initialize a COM error handler

;Turn ie errors off
_IEErrorNotify(true)

_COMError_Notify(2)

Func _COMError_Notify($iDebug, $sDebugFile = Default)

    Static Local $avDebugState[3] = [0, "", 0] ; Debugstate, Debugfile and AutoIt.Error object
    If $sDebugFile = Default Or $sDebugFile = "" Then $sDebugFile = @ScriptDir & "\COMError_Debug.txt"
    If Not IsInt($iDebug) Or $iDebug < -1 Or $iDebug > 3 Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    Switch $iDebug
        Case -1
            Return $avDebugState
        Case 0
            $avDebugState[0] = 0
            $avDebugState[1] = ""
            $avDebugState[2] = 0
        Case Else
            If $iDebug = 2 And $sDebugFile = "" Then Return SetError(4, 0, 0)
            ; A COM error handler will be initialized only if one does not exist
            If ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error") = "" Then
                $avDebugState[2] = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "__COMError_Handler") ; Creates a custom error handler
                If @error <> 0 Then Return SetError(2, @error, 0)
                $avDebugState[0] = $iDebug
                $avDebugState[1] = $sDebugFile
                Return SetError(0, 1, 1)
            ElseIf ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error") = "__COMError_Handler" Then
                Return SetError(0, 0, 1) ; COM error handler already set by a previous call to this function
            Else
                Return SetError(3, 0, 0) ; COM error handler already set to another function
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
    Return

EndFunc   ;==>_COMError_Notify


   ;/******************************************************/
   ;/*****************Main Program*************************/
   ;/******************************************************/
Test1TestMainPage($IEURL, "user", "password")

 

This is the function which starts the test 

 

It's pretty simple but the If @extended bit always creates a new browser and the If@error after the _IeAttach function always says can't attach window 

 

Which then means the IEFormSetvalue functions fail too 

 

expandcollapse popup

Func Test1TestMainPage($IEURL, $User, $Password)

   ;/************************* Start URL for compliance letters **************************/
Local $oIE = _IECreate($IEURL)
If @extended Then
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Attached to Existing Browser")
Else
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Created New Browser")
EndIf

Sleep(10000)
if WinSetState($ApplicationWindow, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) Then


Else
   Sleep(6000)
   WinSetState($ApplicationWindow, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
EndIf

WinActivate($ApplicationWindow)
_IEAttach("Online - Internet Explorer")
If @error Then
   MsgBox(64, "Error handling", "Can't attach IE window")
EndIf
 ;/****************************End*************************************************************/

;/****************************Test main page*********************************************/
;Get the object IDs to be used in manipulating them
_IELoadWait($oIE)
Sleep(10000)

Local $LoginPageID= _IEGetObjById($oIE, "wrapper")
Local $UserNameID = _IEGetObjById($oIE,"ctl00_cphBody_Login1_Label1")
Local $PasswordID = _IEGetObjById($oIE,"ctl00_cphBody_Login1_Label2")

;Tests main header
CompareOnInnerText_SearchViaTagNameCollection($oIE, "Username", "td")
;CheckAField_In_InternetExplorer_On_Inner_Text($UserNameID, "UserName:", "Observe Username header is correct")
;CheckAField_In_InternetExplorer_On_Inner_Text($PasswordID, "PasswordID:", "Observe Password header is correct")
;Check_A_Field_Contains_In_InternetExplorer($PasswordID, "PasswordID:", "Observe Password header is correct")

Local $UserNameInputID = _IEGetObjById($oIE,"ctl00_cphBody_Login1_UserName")
Local $PasswordInputID = _IEGetObjById($oIE,"ctl00_cphBody_Login1_Password")

;input username and password
Sleep(4000)
_IEAction($UserNameInputID, "focus")
_IEFormElementSetValue($UserNameInputID, $User)
      if @error Then
         Msgbox(64, "Error handling", "Can't input username to username box")

         EndIf
_IEFormElementSetValue($PasswordInputID, $Password)
        if @error Then
               Msgbox(64, "Error handling", "Can't input password to username box")

               EndIf

so what can I do to ensure it attachs correctly?

_IECreate($IEURL, 1) to attach

You also don't declare $oIE = _IEAttach("-SNIP- Online - Internet Explorer"), so $oIE is looking at your previous object.
