dob Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi folks. I'm trying to use AutoIT to script a download from a web site which uses an applet to configure the download options. I'd like to use IE.au3 to help with the scripting to make it less brittle and reliant on screen resolution and geometry, but I can't figure out how I should issue a mouse click to the applet. I can get a reference to the frame containing the applet, indeed, I could get a reference to the applet element proper, but I can't figure out how to issue mouse clicks to coordinates within the applet. Any suggestions for me? - donald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one more quick question, if you don't mind - I don't see an obvious way to open Internet Explorer maximized, so that I don't have to worry about scrolling the applet frame. Any pointers?

Any pointers?_IEPropertyGet can give you an HWND you can pass to WinSetState to make it maximized. _IEPropertySet also allows you to put the browser into "theatermode".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?
