kasarah Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 This is similar to previous post, but thought I could be more descriptive of my problem. I have a compiled App already running in windows and its functionality uses ActiveX webbrowser controls. I can get a "handle by using $handle=WinGetHandle("App Title"), however, I'm beginning to wonder if it's the *right* handle. If I really want to apply IE.au3 functionality to this window, do I need to use a handle from IECreate? Unfortunately, this is an app and has no URL, but has IE functionality. It seems to be this weird hybrid that isn't really windows, and doesn't show up for IE. Will the handle code work for IE stuff that I have below? Seemingly, it is not working for me. Am I doing something wrong to grab an existing IE window? Thanks again in advance for any help. B #include-once #include <file.au3> #include <IE.au3> $handle=WinGetHandle("App Title") $oIE=_IECreate("",1,1,0,0) ; Attempting to grab existing window, but doesn't work. Launches a new one. If @error Then MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window") _FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "Error") Else _FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "Found Handle") _FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "IEReadText = " & _IEBodyReadText($handle)) _FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "IEBODYREADHTML = " & _IEDocReadHTML($handle)) _FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "WinGetText =" & WinGetText("App Title")) _FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "Is it a frameset? (1 if true) =" & _IEIsFrameSet($handle)) $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($handle) _FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "oForm =" & $oForm) $propval=_IEPropertyGet($handle, "appname") _FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "property value inner html is " & $propval) WinMove("Cisco NAC Agent","",10,10) Endif Output: 2008-05-05 15:56:44 : Found Handle 2008-05-05 15:56:44 : IEReadText = 0 2008-05-05 15:56:44 : IEBODYREADHTML = 0 2008-05-05 15:56:44 : WinGetText = 2008-05-05 15:56:44 : Is it a frameset?

MikeP Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) handle is generic.. it's like asking if the desktopWidth means something in a function and something else in another .. desktopWidth is.. the desktop width so yeah.. handle returned by WinGetHandle can be used wherever you see a function parameter called handle. Did you try _IEAttach() ? edit : nvm ...I re-read.. you're trying to attach an application though in those functions description it's said it needs to be an Internet Explorer Window .. I guess you can't do it (with IE.au3) Edited May 5, 2008 by MikeP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was, because I could move the window around, but kinda lost my confidence when I couldn't do anything inside this app.Just FYI.. I thought this might help troubleshoot, but this is my "Auto v3 Window Info" Ahh!! I just saw the help indicate Explorer_Server1 means I should be able to attach in this way!! Thanks, that may be the clue I need!

DaleHohm Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I expect you can use _IEAttach($handle, "embedded") make sure you are using the AutoIt 3.2.11.x beta however as a DllCall bug in 3.2.10.x will cause this to fail.

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?

I was futzing and futzing and didn't have the beta. Looked back here, and voila!That's going to save me a world of pain to go to somewhere I didn't want to go. Virtual Margarita's all around! Put it on my tab! Cinco de Mayo!!Thanks again to all who helped!B#include-once#include <file.au3>#include <IE.au3>$handle=WinGetHandle("Cisco NAC Agent")$oIE= _IEAttach($handle,"Embedded")_FileWriteLog(".\test.log", "IEReadText = " & _IEBodyReadText($oIE))Outputs:indv_actions_panel Your userid and/or password is invalidVersion : 2.6.1.002Username: Password: Remember MeServer:Local DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
