How do I read the IE Url without knowing the IE object

[gandalfthewhite]

Hi All,

So here is my question. In my autoit script, I click a button and it opens up an IE window and I have to validate that the right window opened up, verifying the window title and the IE url. Lets say a button is clicked from auto it script and it opens the google website. So now my auto it script needs to somehow read "Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer" (this is the title) and "http://www.google.com/" (this is the url) and validate it. I can use the IE functions in IE.au3, but my dilemma here is that since the IE browser is opened by the application by clicking a button, I donot have the IE object. How do I get a handle on this IE to get the needed information.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

_IEAttach()

CODE

#include "IE.au3"

#include "file.au3"

dim $IE_Browser_Title = "Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer"

dim $IE_Browser_URL = "http://www.google.com/"

dim $testCase = "TestURL"

$oIE = _IEAttach ($IE_Browser_Title)

$URL_Opened = _IEPropertyGet ($oIE, "locationurl")

MsgBox(0,"test",$URL_Opened)

If $IE_Browser_URL = $URL_Opened Then

LogTestCasePass($testCase, "Google web page with the url " &$URL_Opened& " opened up.")

_IEQuit($oIE)

Else

LogTestCaseFail($testCase, "The website with the url " &$URL_Opened& " is opened instead of the expected " &$IE_Browser_URL)

Exit

EndIf

Func LogTestCaseFail($testCase, $logMsg)

_FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir &"\"&$testCase&"_FAILED.txt", $logMsg)

EndFunc

Func LogTestCasePass($testCase, $logMsg)

_FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir &"\"&$testCase&"_passed.txt", $logMsg)

EndFunc

I am still having issues with this code. All I want to do is figure out if a webpage "google.com" is already opened or not.

Thanks

use the controlgettext command e.g.

CODE

$ie = ControlGetText("[CLASS:IEFrame]","","Edit1")

msgbox(0,"",$ie)

Study the different modes for _IEAttach... what you used was a Window Title, the default is Title which is a document title (it's an HTML thing). You can also use URL and others. You've got choices... you just chose the wrong one.
