Using _IECreate to create different processes


 Share

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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?
