Different IE windows but same login

[DaleHohm]

You guys were talking about cookies, IE Windows, and authentication ("logged in").

If one IE window session is authenticated with yahoo with a per-session cookie, how can _IECreate or _IEAttach attach to that specific session?

If you have only one IEXPLORE.EXE running then all instances should share the session cookie. If you have more than one, _IEAttach to one you know has the session cookie you want... if you want a new instance, RUN a new IEXPLORE.EXE... if you want to open a new window with the same session as an existing window, _IEAttach to that window then use $oIE.navigate2("new-url", 1) -- the ,1 tells it to open a new window...

Does that give you some ideas?

Yes, that works great thanks!

Not sure if this has been mentioned. I just drank a bunch of energy drinks and now i'm just crashed, but i think it has to do with Cookies. IE automatically uses the cookies available, and cookies are replaced every time you sign in with a different login.

Now i'm gonna go get a cookie. Bye

In my day we called that the munchies... but it had nothing to do with energy drinks...

So Dale, I'm able to attach to an authenticated session of IE and make a new window (navagate2) but I'm having problems hiding it. I've tried winsetstate and $oIE.Visible = 1 but couldn't get them to work. Is there a way to hide it (or better yet, not create it in the first place while still being able to get data and not touch the first window?

#include <IE.au3>

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
$oIE = _IEAttach("Gmail")
$s_url = "http://mail.google.com/mail/"

$oIE.navigate2($s_url,1)
Sleep(1000)
$oIE2 = _IEAttach("Gmail")
$oIE2.Visible = 0
$sText = _IEBodyReadText ($oIE2)
MsgBox(1, "TESTING", $stext)

;then down here I'd do some timed stuff while reusing the same hidden window
;most importantly leaving the main (unhidden) window alone.

P.S. I'm only hijacking this thread because I believe it's the same thing the OP wanted to do.
