Using _IECreate to create different processes

[talgreen]

Hi,

I would like to open several Internet Explorers by using _IECreate, but I would like each of them to be its own process.

When I use the following code, I get only one iexplore.exe process:

#include <IE.au3>
For $i = 0 to $num -1
    $objHomePage = _IECreate ("http://ws-pinskera:8080/AjaxTest/Client.htm")

    $objButton = _IEGetObjById($objHomePage, "callerButton")
    Sleep(2000)
    $res = _IEAction($objButton, "click")
Next

Is there any way to do this?

Thank you,

Tal.

Eh? You only open one window in that code. I thought multiple processes was a bad thing.

The COM automation interface gives no facility to do this. In the past, I have recommended a workaround like this:

#include <IE.au3>
ShellExecute("iexplore.exe", "about:blank")
WinWait("Blank Page")
$oIE = _IEAttach("about:blank", "url")
_IELoadWait($oIE)
_IENavigate($oIE, "www.autoitscript.com")

@Neven - there are cases where getting multiple iexplore processes is desired. For example, session cookie context is shared withing all browser instances in the same iexplore process... start a new iexplore and you get a new session cookie context
