Ie Udf Help With Selecting Radio Buttons


Recommended Posts

I am having problem understanding the IE udf. What I am trying to do is select the first radio button on this page, (it is for my router) and then hit the "edit" button (type=submit).

I cant get anything to work, so i think i am having problems understanding how to start.

If anyone can help me get started, or send me a script that does something similar i would be able to figure it out. Thanks!

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
GUICreate("Embedded Web control Test", 640, 580, (@DesktopWidth - 640) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2, $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 600, 360)
GUISetState()    
_IENavigate ($oIE, "http://192.168.0.1/pforward.htm")
$collection = _IEFormElementGetCollection ( $oIE )
$firststate = _IEFormElementRadioSelect ( "routeselect", 7 , 1 , "byIndex" , 0 )

Here's an example using the new _IE_Example() function that simply creates a page with a bunch of form elements on it for testing...

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Example("form")

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "ExampleForm")
_IEFormElementRadioSelect($oForm, 0, "radioExample", 1, "byIndex")
;_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

This will select the first radio button (index-0) in the radio group named "radioExample".

Feedback on what makes this confusing (besides a lack of an example - I'll submit one for the next release of the docs) is welcome.

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

This should do want you are wanting, I added comments to help explain what it's doing.

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GuiConstants.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
GUICreate("Embedded Web control Test", 640, 580, (@DesktopWidth - 640) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2, $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 600, 360)
GUISetState()

_IENavigate ($oIE, "http://192.168.0.1/pforward.htm")

; get a object variable reference to the form
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "formname")
; get an object variable reference to the edit button
$oEdit = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "Edit")
; select the radio button in group "RouteSelect" and vaule "0"
$firststate = _IEFormElementRadioSelect($oForm, 0, "RouteSelect")
; click the edit button
_IEAction($oEdit, "click")

@Dale - I just noticed a couple syntax errors in the help files, I'll get those corrected. Also for _IEFormElementRadioSelect we have $o_object = Form Element Object of type "Input Type=Radio", which sounds like it should be the radio button itself.

Ah, except he said he wanted the first radio button rather than the one with a value of 0... it that is that case, then he wants this instead

; select the 1st (index-0) radio button in group "RouteSelect"
$firststate = _IEFormElementRadioSelect($oForm, 0, "RouteSelect", 1, "byIndex")

Yes, you're right... that would sure make it harder to understand...

I'm confused, doesn't that do the same thing as mine? The first radio has a value of "0" and the second "1".

It actually got me at first, I'll try to reword it.

:"> Yep, you're right. Now he has two choices... one example byValue and one byIndex.

ok, it worked perfectly, but I am confused as to why it worked.

From the help file for _IEFormElementRadioSelect , the usage is:

_IEFormElementRadioSelect ( $o_object, $s_string [, $f_select = 1 [, $s_mode = "byValue" [, $f_fireEvent = 1]]] )

your line is _IEFormElementRadioSelect($oForm, 0, "RouteSelect")

what is "RouteSelect" doing in there? From the help file, it should be $f_select, am i right?

Thanks for the help!

Sorry, documentation error... thanks for catching it. I had been worried that no one had posted feedback on this new set of form functions. I'm glad you are exercising them. I packed a lot of functionality into them so that I could cover the need with 3 functions instead of 7 (but they are more complex).

It should be:

_IEFormElementRadioSelect ( $o_object, $s_string, $s_name [, $f_select = 1 [, $s_mode = "byValue" [, $f_fireEvent = 1]]] )

where $s_name is the radioGroup name.

It is the same for the Checkbox function except that $s_name is optional for that function and required for radios.
