rsn Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hi all, I'm new to autoit3, so please forgive if this is obvious.. When ever I use _IEAction($oIE,"back") from the first page (home) I get an error: Error: The requested action with this object has failed. I understand that you can't go back past the first page, but how can I prevent the error or suppress it? Thanks much! rsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Take a look at the example with _IECreateEmbedded -- it will show you how to use _IEErrorHandlerRegister to trap the error.

rsn Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thank you so much! I have an additional question if I may... When I run the script , it works perfectly if Explorer is launched prior to the browser window I'm trying to control. On the PC where this is actually to run, Explorer never launches (it's an IE kiosk). #include <IE.au3> AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) $hwnd = WinGetHandle("classname=IEFrame") $oIE = _IEAttach($hwnd, "hwnd") _IEErrorHandlerRegister () _IEAction($oIE,"back") After running the above, I get a Local $o_ShellWindows = $oShell.Windows() error. Again, "the requested action with this object has failed." Since Explorer is never launched, is there another way to accomplish this task? Thank again, rsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Is it a normal IE browser in kiosk mode or is it an application with an embedded webbrowser control?

rsn Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 It is a normal IE browser but it is not specifically in kiosk mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Interesting. Perhaps the Shell.Windows collection isn't getting instantiated without explore.exe running. Your challenge is to get a reference to the IE window. Easiest way would be to create it yourself with $oIE = _IECreate If you can't do that, see if you can use the "embedded" method of _IEAttach because it doesn't use the Shell.Windows collection Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?

rsn Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'll give it a shot next week. Thanks so much for your input and assistance in this matter! rsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
