WinWait help

[Guest Guest]

I have a question regarding WinWait.

WinWait "title" "text"

So if i have a Setup window, that says Welcome to setup wizard i type:

WinWait "Setup", "Welcome to setup wizard"

But, if i got a Internet explorer window, and want to wait until the page is loaded, what do i type then?

I know what it will say on the loaded page, but when using Spy, it can´t see any text?

So in short, how do i wait for a webpage to load until continue script?

Why is this not working?

Run ("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore")

Global $SD = @ScriptDir & "\"

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)

$x = StatusbarGetText("Utopia")

IniWrite($SD & "test.ini", "Options", "test", $x)

My "Home Page" is Utopia, it just send a empty value to my ini file.

[Options]

test=

check out StatusbarGetText

in my IE, when a page is loaded, it says Done in Part 1...

winwait("window title", StatusbarGetText ( "title" [, "text" [, part]] ) ="Done")

would probably do it...

>>>>>>>>>>> Status Bar Text <<<<<<<<<<<

(1): Done

(2):

(3):

(4):

(5):

(6): Internet

Another question, what is the command to open a URL

@Doxie:

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c start "http://foo/bar"')

or in WinNT4+:

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c start "" "http://foo/bar"')

(untested but should work)

You can try the following code. Works on my WinXP home edition:

Run ("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore http://www.yahoo.com")

Thanks, ill try both.

Run ("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore http://www.yahoo.com")

This will make everybody who doesn't like the internet explorer go crazy since they're unable to change the browser without modifying the script.

You should also use @ComSpec & " /c start iexplore.exe" instead of the full path. Using the full path will fail on every computer where "Program Files" is called different. So only use this if your script really needs the internet explorer.
