Faleira Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I'm not all that knowledged in the autoit area, i read the help file, and browsed the forums. Although i may have missed some things, which is why i'm asking this question, basically, i want to know if one can have AutoIt hook into a program, therefore, macro'ing inside it, allowing you to minimise it? i also want to know, howcome, when i turn on the AU_3 spy, it doesn't show the text in a site, wether it was opened in Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer? As well as, is there a way to have Autoit search for certain text, and then grab the co-ordinates of the text? (well, say, the center of it) [quote]If whenever you feel small, useless, offended, depressed, and just generally upset always remember......you were once the fastest and most vicious sperm out of hundreds of millions![/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekster Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 basically, i want to know if one can have AutoIt hook into a program, therefore, macro'ing inside it, allowing you to minimise it?Do you just want to minize a program on demand? You could give a hotkey to a function that minizes either the active window, or a specific window title. I'm a bit confused by your phrase "hook into a program." If you want to intergrate the AutoIt script into a program, perhaps your code could call the AutoIt script that does the above idea?i also want to know, howcome, when i turn on the AU_3 spy, it doesn't show the text in a site, wether it was opened in Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer?Sometimes there is text that cannot be viewed even with the spy. If you want to parse something out of a webpage, you could try using the UrlDownloadToFile command on the html file, and then searching that for specific text.As well as, is there a way to have Autoit search for certain text, and then grab the co-ordinates of the text? (well, say, the center of it)Not that I know of. I think that would involve some advanced OCR, and that's some complext stuff.

trids Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Operating on minimised windows - Try this kind of thing...;start the experiment Run("calc.exe") WinWaitActive("Calculator") MsgBox(0,"","Watch this;o)",3) ;click the "5" button on a window that is minimised WinSetState("Calculator","",@SW_MINIMIZE) ControlClick ( "Calculator", "", "Button48" ) MsgBox(0,"",".. and see here ..",3) WinSetState("Calculator","",@SW_RESTORE)Accessing text from a web-page - With MSIE, you could do this...;Assume the webpage is loaded and you want the text now. Send("^a") ;select all text on the webpage Send("^c") ;copy selected text to clipboard $sPageText = ClipGet()Finding text - If you mean "find text on a web-page" .. you can use the browser to select the text...Send("^f") ;Start MSIE's find-on-page dialog Send("string to find") ;this could be in a variable Send("{ENTER}") ;this will select the text on the page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
