VeeDub Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi, I have modified a script, that was working OK, to change the $f_visible flag so that the IE windows are hidden rather than visible. Since doing that, I am now observing the message_IECreate (Foreground Window Unlock Failed!) in the Console and eventually the script crashes out. What does the error mean? I would like the option of running my script with the browser windows hidden, but to do that I need to understand what this message means so that I can modify my script. Thanks VW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks VWThere are two possibilities here. If you are running a version of IE.au3 prior to that distributed with the beta, that warning was erroneously reported whenever you set $f_visible to 0. If this is you, please upgrade. This comes from a function designed to prevent the creation of an invisible window from stealing input focus. You need Windows 2000/ME or higher for this to work.
