IE Java Applet Login Automation

[camus]

Hi,

First this software package rocks my socks, it works f'in great!! I've just begun to read the help files and include files to familiarize myself with it. but i have deadlines!!

Second, I want to automate a login procedure. The login username and password forms are on a java applet window. I load the java applet through IE.

I've included the IE.au3 file and have pretty much worked through functions for handling IE.

I cannot seem to Send data to the Java Applet.

Is there a way to set focus to windows based on class names? Or even send data to windows based on class names?

heres what i have:

Func startOpex()

$oIE = _IECreate($sURL)

$oButton = _IETagNameGetCollection( $oIE, "input", 0 )

_IEAction($oButton, "click" )

return $oIE

endFunc

$myIEobj = startOpex();

WinWaitActive("Trader Workstation")

Send($sUsername1)

send("{TAB}")

Send($sPassword1)

Send("{TAB}")

Send("{Enter}")

after my function.. that stuff below just bombs out and fails.

heres some more info:

so I run the script from SciTE, before the Java applet finishes launching the script has already returned error code: 0.

I have replaced WinWaitActive("Trader Workstation")

with with WinWait() and I get both the same result..

script has already returned error code: 0.

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

That the script is finished.

It finishes before the Java applet launches, that means it is not using the WinWait() commands to continue parsing the script.

I was searching before, could i use ControlSend() to input the username and password variables?

Assuming there is just one java applet on the page and it uses an applet tag (it can also use an "object" tag)you can use this tio give it focus:

$oApplet = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, "applet", 0)
_IEAction($oApplet, "focus")

You can then use your Send commands to send keystrokes to it.
