Object - IE - Need Help...

[Armand]

hey guys i've been creating an object that is hidden and i'd really like to know how can i navigate through it \ send keys without making it show !!!

here is the script:

#include <IE.au3>
$URL = "http://www.google.com/"
$oIE = _IECreate($URL,0,0,1)
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)

;_IELinkClickByText ($oIE,"תמונות")
;_IELinkClickByIndex ($oIE,1)
_IEAction($oIE,"visible")
_IEFormImageClick($oIE,"Google","alt")

- tried to use the "_IELinkClickByIndex ($oIE,1)" & "_IELinkClickByText ($oIE,"תמונות")" function to move through the links

to get to where it is i need to but it seems to be not that accurate and it fails to reach buttons on the page!

- if someone can tell me how to send DIRECT KEYS TO AN OBJECT i'll be most delighted !!!

- that func: "_IEFormImageClick($oIE,"Google","alt")" seems to dail reaching the picture and click on it!

- if there is no way to send DIRECT KEYS - how do i reach buttons ?!

I assume you are tryin to click the search button , not click the logo

#include <IE.au3>
$URL = "http://www.google.com/"
$oIE = _IECreate($URL,0,0,1)
$oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
$btn = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm,"btnG")
_IEAction($oIE,"visible")
_IEAction ( $btn, "click" )

I may be wrong and by looks of post you are from Thailand so English may not be your first language. If this doesnt help please try to explain more

@Hasher

hey mate thanks for the help !

i'm not from thailand - i'm from israel... (do i've got bad eng ?!)

i know that i can get to the button that way - but that's only if i know the button name from the source!

oky so back to my questions:

- without knowing anything regaurding the source code, just using the normal page view info, how can i reach that button?!

- how do i send keys directly to the object ?! -> LIKE SEND() func...

_____

i'll look up for: (if it exists, i'm from some other comp in the doorms)

_IEFormElementGetObjByText()

THANKS AGAIN !!!

$hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")

$hwnd can then be used in place of Title in ControlSend commands. You can also use _IEAction( -an object-, "focus") to assign focus to a specific element before using ControlSend.

ControlSend($hwnd, "", "Internet Explorer_Server", -string to send-)
