SpookMeister Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have not messed around much with the IE functions yet, so I have a few questions before I dig too deep into this project. Do the IE functions still work when a system is locked? (I'll need a plan B if the answer is 'no' there) - are there some I need to stay away from if this will be the case? Has someone done a tutorial of the IE functions yet? I certainly see enough questions to perhaps warrant one, or maybe a FAQ. -Spook [u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible.

PsaltyDS Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Do the IE functions still work when a system is locked?No. P.S. Had to rethink that after a correction from MHz in another topic. If you don't need the browser window to become ACTIVE, you might still get things to work while the console is locked... Hmm...

DaleHohm Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I really can't think of any of the core functions that would not work when locked - everything uses the COM API.

IE.au3 issues with Vista - Workarounds 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?
