[Duffy]

[Duffy]

i know how to use mpuse clicks but i dont like using them because if i send the program i make using mouseclicks to someone else the coordiants of there computer want be the same as mine so i was wondering if there is another funtion were you could type the url in and the mouse searches for it then clicks it,well is there?

Look up and learn how to use "Controlclick()" in the Help File.

You will need to use the Auto It window info tool to use this function as well.

could you give me example please just use the reply button down there as the example

[Duffy]

aww comin please i need help with this one

[Duffy]

hello surely someone has the answer

[Duffy]

im still waiting

[Duffy]

this isnt a very good help and support forum

[Vindicator209]

Quit bumping. The reason why nobody is helping you is because you obviously didn't look very hard. Look at this functions:

_IELinkClickByText()

You could have easily found that by typing in "link" in the autoit help file. (Come on, LINK is even in the NAME!)

Besides, if you wanted to click a URL, wouldn't it be easier just to send the page to that URL instead of clicking it?

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "www.google.com")
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

For $oLink In $oLinks
    MsgBox(0x0,"Limk", $oLink.href)
    _IELinkClickByIndex($oIE, $oLink.href); the first one

This will open Internet Explorer and have Google as the default page then it will click on Advanced Search.

; Include
#include <IE.au3>

$browserName = "Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer"
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com/")
WinWaitActive($browserName)
_IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "Advanced Search")

Patience is a virtue.

Yours works for me.

I managed to recreate the error by removing this part of your codes:

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE, "www.google.com")
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)

I think he only took the For...Next portion. lol
