So a very simple script

#include <IE.au3> 
Hotkeyset("{F5}","OpenSite")
while 1
sleep(100)
wend
Func OpenSite()
_IECreate ("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showforum=2")
EndFunc

[kater]

Thank you for your fast replay , But I didn't mean like this !!

My idea is :

I want from the script to open the home page http://www.autoitscript.com/forum

and I want form the script go to this link General Help and Support and clike it

Can we do that or no ? your kind advice is very important for me

hello !

Misha's script is the better way to obtain the final result.

But if you want to know how to locate a special link and click it, there are no general way.

The easier is to count the number of "tab" key to send and send ENTER when the last is reached.

You can use external information like statusbar too, by moving the mouse, but it's approximative :

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

#include <IE.au3> 
Hotkeyset("{F5}","OpenSite")
Hotkeyset("{ESC}","My_exit")

while 1
sleep(100)
wend

Func OpenSite()
$oIE=_IECreate ("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum")
ConsoleWrite(WinSetState("AutoIt Forum","",@SW_MAXIMIZE))
_IELoadWait ($oIE)
send("{F11}"); full screen to avoid to manage the vertical scroll bar ...

$y_pos=0; start from the top of the screen
Do
    MouseMove(150,$y_pos); 150 is an approximation of the x position of the link ... so you're dependinf of the screen resolution
    $y_pos+=5; a step of 5 pixels is enough
    $txt=StatusbarGetText ("AutoIt Forum","",1); case for ie
    ConsoleWrite($txt&" "&@error&@CRLF); only for debug ...
Until StringRegExp($txt,"http://www\.autoitscript\.com/forum/index\.php[\?s=[\da-f]+&]{0,1}showforum=2")<>0
;s=125a.... is a php session id which is contains in the output of StatusbarGetText, thanks to regexp :-)

MouseClick("left"); the famous click !!!!!
send("{F11}")
exit 0
EndFunc

Func My_exit()
    exit 1
EndFunc

Now, choise one practice or find another way ( it's better, you wanted to be teached, now work! )

[kater]

Perfect solution

but let me ask you this question

Is there any step to let the script to going direct to the link ?

Edited August 25, 2007 by kater

BodQ has suggested _IELinkClickByText, see the sample in the chm help, and you'll have another faster and easier way to do it

[DaleHohm]

Look at the helpfile and the _IELinkClickByText - the first example should get you going.

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum")
_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "General Help and Support")

Excellent idea

we need to do like this configuration in Remote Assistance

as the following code but there is problem

can you please advice me how to fix the problem in the existing code

[size="5"][size="2"]run("C:\windows\system32\rcimlby.exe -LaunchRA")
 Sleep(5000)
 _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Invite someone to help you")

[/size][/size]

we need after open the link click to Invite someone to help you

[sylvanie]

you have not specified what is $oIE ... it must be an object variable of an InternetExplorer

keep in mind that you have to create this object before use it.

But remeber that it's an IE object, so i don't know (and think that's not the case...) if it's realy applicable to rcimlby.exe

Edited August 26, 2007 by sylvanie

[bogQ]

how about something like this

run("C:\windows\system32\rcimlby.exe -LaunchRA")
;<== or you can use run("C:\WINDOWS\pchealth\helpctr\Vendors\CN=Microsoft Corporation,L=Redmond,S=Washington,C=US\Remote Assistance\Escalation\Common\rcscreen2.htm")
;its the same thing only that in second case it will start ie and the call the help function
;or try to this, i dono will it work run("C:\WINDOWS\pchealth\helpctr\Vendors\CN=Microsoft Corporation,L=Redmond,S=Washington,C=US\Remote Assistance\Escalation\Common\rcscreen3.htm")
WinWaitActive("Help and Support Center")
Sleep(1000)
Send("{tab 27}") ;<== if you use html run then youl need lower number 8 or 9 tabs 
Send("{ENTER}")

edit: i forgot to remove include up there ^^

you can try this and i hope its working, i tested it on xp pro sp2 on every resolutio, and its clicking the option number so if your option is on the 1 place he will click it if you enter number 1 or 2 for 2 or 3 for 3.....

$answer = InputBox("Question", "On What Link number to Click")
Select
    Case $answer = ""
        Exit
    Case $answer = 1
        $data = 0
    Case $answer >= 1
        $data = ($answer*38)-38
EndSelect
MsgBox(0,"","Now we will click on "&$answer&" option")
run("C:\windows\system32\rcimlby.exe -LaunchRA")
While 1
    Sleep(100)
    Select
    Case WinActive ( "Help and Support Center" )
        Sleep(500)
        WinSetState( "Help and Support Center", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
        Sleep(500)
        $MousePos = PixelSearch(0,200,800,600,"0xB2D8B2", 8)
        MouseMove($MousePos[0],$MousePos[1]+$data,1)
        MouseClick ( "left" )
        Exit

Can you please tell me how to modify that in the existing code

instead of

$answer = InputBox("Question", "On What Link number to Click")

put

$answer = "1"

or

$answer = "2"

for second link or what ever

and delite line

MsgBox(0,"","Now we will click on "&$answer&" option")

and youl have your click with no question asked.

For the rest of your script (if you need something more)i sugest to read more in help file and redesinge it to your needs. If you get stuck on your codes i think that everyone will b glad to help as loong as you put the part of the code you have problems with on your topic.

[kater]

I'm very sorry again
