IE BrowswerControlFocus function to Chrome function

[Mugaro]

Hello all,

 

I have a script and we have a function:

Func BrowserControlFocus()
; Set focus on the Browser control - write which page is being tested and the location of the file.
; Output the name and location of the html page being tested.
sleep(5000)
$hWnd=WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]")
$oIE = _IEAttach($hWnd,"embedded")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
WriteToFile($outputFile,"The displayed page is the: " &_IEPropertyGet($oIE, "title") & " page")
WriteToFile($outputFile,"File Location is: " & _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "locationurl"))
EndFunc

 

The embedded windows application that runs has switched to chrome instead. Does anyone know how to find a replacement function?

From what I can tell, potentially the IE functions associated to https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/IE Management.htm

 

Potentially this can be used in replacement?

Hi @Mugaro,

yes the AutoIt WebDriver project "au3WebDriver", is the corresponding Chrome, Firefox, MSEdge etc. equivalent of the older _IE* approach (and their functions). You already referenced the wiki which is great 👍 .

See also this post for a better understanding of how to start.

The function to get the title and the url is _WD_Action() and it could look like this (to follow your structure above):

WriteToFile($outputFile,"The displayed page is the: " & _WD_Action($sSession, 'title') & " page")
WriteToFile($outputFile,"File Location is: " & _WD_Action($sSession, 'url'))

Best regards
Sven

Hi folks 👋 , please consider to take part on the WebDriver poll which is regarding which driver do you automate.
Please have a quick look here and take part ==> this could help us to improve or harden the WebDriver project in the future 😇 .

Thanks, best regards
Sven
