IE Window detection

[BALA]

Is it possible to tell whether a window is an IE window or not?

Look at WMI, there is also table for processes with lots of informations.

You may then search for process with it's executable = iexplorer.exe

Sorry for the ignorance, but what's a WMI?

I dont know if you can use the WinGetHandle("Title of the program", "IEFrame"). If you get anything back the window should be a Internet Explorer (well I dont know any other program with IEFrame as class there might be)

Is iexplorer.exe Internet Explorer? And what does WinGetHandle do since in the help file example it just seems to get the title of the window.

; Identify the Notepad window that contains the text "this one" and get a handle to it

; Change into the WinTitleMatchMode that supports classnames and handles
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

; Get the handle of a notepad window that contains "this one"
$handle = WinGetHandle("classname=Notepad", "this one")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window")
Else
    ; Send some text directly to this window's edit control
    ControlSend($handle, "", "Edit1", "AbCdE")
EndIf

No it just said I couldn't search for words with three letters. Don't really know why, it works perfectly now.

Assuming you know the window handle (hwnd, see WinGetHandle) you can use _IEAttach to test whether it is IE or not -- and do lots more with it if it is...

#include <IE.au3>
$hwnd = WinGetHandle(...)
$oIE  _IEAttach($hwnd, "hwnd")
If Not @error Then ConsoleWrite("$oIE is an IE window..." & @CR)

Would this work on any Internet browser (FireFox) or only Internet Explorer?
