IE Refresh

[testingtest]

Hi, I am wondering what is the fastest way to refresh the internet browser

IEAction ("my object" , "refresh")
_IELoadWait ("my window")oÝ÷ Øay-+"²Ø^}«-zËpk&î¶Ø^¦ºé¢²Ø^±Êâ¦×hzÉ÷öÚ)z{ayºèÂÇ«jwHv÷öÜØ­¶)z{ayºèÂÇ«êÞ±§±jjezíêk¡¹^Øb²+!£    ²±Êâ¦Û!¢é]$nëHv÷öÜÙ²±Êâ¦Ú)zx§Ø^nº0±êÚºÚ"µÍÚ[ÛYH  ÒQK]LÉÝÂÌÍÛÒQHHÒQWÑ^[H

Are you wanting to attach to an existing browser window? If so take a look at _IEAttach() in the help file.

[DaleHohm]

It is not clear to me what problem you are having. The pseudo-code is not helping. Can you provide a reproducer (a small piece of stand-alone code that demonstrates your trouble) and explain what is happening and what you expect in more detail?

Thanks,

Dale

all I want to do is refresh the browser but none of the above worked.

[DaleHohm]

You try harder to explain, I'll try harder to help.

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Example("form")
Sleep(6000)
_IEAction ($oIE,"refresh")

That works for me

@Dale!!

I'm reading it as him wanting to refresh a page that wasn't opened with _IECreate()... but then again... it leaves a lot to to the imagination.

Hmmm - OK. If that's the case, then I misread what he was trying to say. But then Big Daddy's suggestion is on the money.

yep thats exactly what I need but not sure how do to it using IE functions without adding another ie window or attaching another one. I even tried all of the above it works manually but not in a script which is odd such as

F5

Ctrl-R

and control click won't work because it's not an object or the correct object.

[DaleHohm]

If you tried _IEAttach, Show your code.

but is that the only way to go about doing it. I also would like to know why F5 and ^R don't work in my scripts. I haven't made the actual script I make bits and pieces at a time and build once I am finish so I only tried the above examples

At http://www.google.com.au this works for me , Attaching to webpage and refreshing it

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IEAttach("Google","Title")
Sleep(6000)
_IEAction ($oIE,"refresh")

Forest through the trees comes to mind whenever I read you posts lately.

_IEAttach does not open a new one, it attaches (dale is very clever with his function naming) to an existing window to allow you to control that object.

what if I don't have a newer version of IE it wouldn't know what to do. If I do use this function is there away to close the attachment, also it has to refresh pretty fast and it will be cluttered

whats that suppose to mean, I did say I didn't want the a new window to popup I also noted I didn't really want to attach either.

I am such a pain lol but, WHY won't F5 or ^R work that frustrates me

I am glad your all trying to help me

actually, i think you're more likely to run into issues if you're using the newest IE.... you can release the reference to the object by just doing something like

$VariableNameUsedToAttach = ''

and the speed of the refresh is the speed of the refresh, execution of your script will pause because of the _IELoadWait() that occurs in the background when you refresh programatically. your browser should not refresh any slower or more quickly than if you refreshed it with one of the other ways you wanted to. Speaking of, where are you sending F5? have you tried using controlsend() to send it to the window? ie.au3 is the way to go, but you should be able to do it manually with keypresses if you were so inclined...
