How to do things in the background of IE


 Share

Recommended Posts

Okay I'm looking to make a program that will go to Neopets website, login, go to a section of the site, grab the source from this section, click on a link. All invisibly with no IE window, I'm not asking for the script to do this, I'm just wondering what syntax i'd use to do this.

Also, I need the grabbing the source, and clicking the link part to be fast.....

I always prefer using _InetGetSource, I find IE more difficult.

#include <Inet.au3>
$Source = _InetGetSource("www.google.ca")

I plan on using _InetGetSource but I need to be able to visit links invisibly as well. Then send a success or fail back to my GUI. Edited by SteveO

_IECreate has an option to make the IE instance invisible. See the helpfile. For links, see the _IELink* functions. To get source, see _IEBodyRead* or _IEDocRead*

Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded  Better Better?

SciTe Debug mode - it's magic: #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Reproducer: a small (the smallest?) piece of stand-alone code that demonstrates your trouble

But would this be fast? IE, when you can actually see the window tends to be slow....is it faster when you can't see the window?

Yes, but test for yourself.

I just need it to go to

http://www.neopets.com/donations.phtml?

Search for a specific string like 100 Gold...compare it to what the user requested....say they requested 2000 Gold, check to see if 100 gold if > 2000 gold, then click the link for the item, or leave it alone depending what the user specified.
