I'm not familiar with IE. What do you mean by the first TAB? If you have have tabbed pages maybe you have a newer version of IE than mine?

Hello Martin,

I use Maxthon. (www.maxthon.com) It's a browser substitut that is based on the M$-IE engine ( I still use ie6) but offers a lot of additional functions, for instance tabbed-browsing.

I want to get back the actuall shown tabs's url to write it into the registry-secure zone entry. with one mouse click.

But i'm still fighting with the problem getting this damn url back.

My favorite is AvantBrowser http://www.avantbrowser.com/

Runs on IE7 as well.

I have never really grasped what you are trying to do.

First, this code simply cannot work:

$oHandle = WinGetHandle($aTitle)
WinActivate($oHandle)
$aHandle = _IEAttach ($oHandle, "HWND")
$uRL = _IEPropertyGet ($aHandle, "locationurl")

You are passing a window handle into the _IE functions and they require a COM object instead. You will get an InvalidDataType error.

Can I restate your problem like this: ?

I need to determine the current URL of ALL browser windows (they happen to be in tabs in a Maxthon browser)

?

Hi Dale,

you confirmed my thougt about the com-object and the _IE functions. I really got a InvalidDataTypeError. (A lot to lern!! ;-))

I try to restate my problem tu use your words:

I need to determine the URL of the currently shown (active) tab-window in Maxthon Browser. All the windows are shown in tabs like in ff or new IE7. BUT i really need only the URL of the active tab that I can see. If I have 35 tabs open, and in tab 20 the URL of, for instance "www.autoitscript.com" is shown, I need this URL to do something with it (write it into the registry - secure zone entry)

I managed to determine the URL of the 1st tab (left hand side) but this is only a little success for me.

Thanks 4 helping

So the real challenge is getting a reference to the browser embedded in the active Maxthon tab.

Will that control also have window/keyboard focus at the time you want to do this?

I don't know how to do this in IE7 either -- I have asked in Microsoft forums how to set the active tab and this would be an extention of that -- but I have received no reply and have found no documentation pointing to any functions that help.

WHY are you trying to do this? If I knoew a little more about your use case I might be able to offer something.

Hello Dale,

> Will that control also have window/keyboard focus at the time you want to do this?

Yes - the actuall tab has window/keyboard focus.

The reason I try to do this I very simple to explain. Some pages one has to enter into M$'s internet secure zone to make them work all right. It's ok but very unhandy to handle. Copy the actuall URL into clipboard, open internet options, secure zone and copy the URL into the list.

So I try to code a sript to do all these steps with one mouse-click.

May be there is already a tool for that. But don't mind, I would like to have a try with autoit.

With one mouse click on what?

I inserted a new plug-in for mython, that means a new button/icon in Maxthon's plug-in-toolbar. but the button is without functionallity so far.

Thr script I want to code with AutoIt will be compiled to an exe-file and associated with the button. This already works with a dummy exe-file.

OK, you may want to investigate the Maxthox API docs to see if they give you any help.

In the mean time, I've looked at the IE tabbed implementation and I discovered that where the main browser window control used to be called "Internet Explorer_Server1", we now have "Internet Explorer_Server2", "Internet Explorer_Server3" etc. based on the multiple tabs. This may give use some tools to manipulate them.

Can you please check Maxthon to see if it uses the same control names? Use "AutoIt Window Info" from the AutoIt start menu program group and look at the information under "Control under mouse".

thanks,

Dale

Hi Dale,

Thanks, but I should have been more explicit in my instructions. I need the control information when the mouse is poised over the main window containing the HTML document, not the tab itself. I'm interested in the control info for the document contained in multiple tabs.

Because of the API-Docs I've send a mail to the developer-team.

OK, I'm guessing it is a custom control and is different than what IE7 does. Please let us know what you learn from Maxthon.
