IE window, clicking

[Olsson]

Hi,

I have been looking around and trying to understand how I can make a window containing IE object, and in this window - click. I want it to click and handle itself, within this window, without disturbing me, when I'm using the computer. Any code examples or special functions I should look at? I would love to get some help with this!

Thanks,

Olsson

Hi,

This is possible with the IE Library.

Consult the help file for the _IE* functions.

This code generates a page that links to useful references and tools.

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IE_Introduction ("basic")

The IE Library has what you need. Search the forums, it has loads of examples of simple and complex operations.

Thank you for the replies!

I'm stuck at the same error as I've been on previously;

While using StringInStr() I get the following error:

Return $o_object.document.body.innerText
Return $o_object.document^ ERROR

G:\Program\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (2241) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

Using

$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")

Just use the _IE* functions. You will find them in the helpfile.

Cheers,

Well, I might just be stupid, but I can't find what I'm looking for =/

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 900, 580, 192, 114)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")
GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 169, 1, 730, 580)

$oIE.navigate("google.com")

;~ $oIE = _IE_Example ("basic")
$oLink = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "AutoItImage")
_IEAction ($oLink, "click")
_IELoadWait ($oIE)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

gives me:

>"G:\Program\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "G:\Program\AutoIt3\Examples\Olsson\asd.au3"    
G:\Program\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (2709) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:
If IsObj($o_object.document.GetElementsByName($s_Id).item($i_index)) Then
If IsObj($o_object.document^ ERROR
>Exit code: 1   Time: 0.307

I figured out my own stupid mistake. Thanks anyways. (You have to declare the object; GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 169, 1, 730, 580)

Using more of the _IE functions will help you here. You are trying to access elements on the page before it is loaded. _IENavigate takes care of that for you (by implicitly calling _IELoadWait).

Try this:

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 900, 580, 192, 114)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()
GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 169, 1, 730, 580)

_IENavigate($oIE, "google.com")

After that you will get warnings in your code because there is not element with an ID of AutoItImage on the page.
