GoogleDude Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) I am trying to automate some webpage logins ect.. with autoit using _IECreate(). My questions is if I use the below code to create a hidden webpage/IE process how can I bring that same instance visible so the user can see it without creating a new ie process? I looked at _IEAttach() but not sure if that is the correct function. I know the title of the window if it wasnt hidden but not sure what function I can use to make that same instance visible again. _IECreate("https://www.webpage.com","",0,1) Thanks, The more and more I play/learn with autoit the more I like it.

GoogleDude Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 lol. I guess I should have read up on _IEAction() The below seems to have worked for me. Sorry for the waste of a post. _IEAction($oIE,"visible") Regards, GoogleDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoogleDude Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Strange but for some reason when I "_IEQuit($oIE)" it does close the IE Windows but the process still stays running. If AutoIt spawned off the iexplore.exe process in the first place should _IEQuit($oIE) close the Window and the Porcess? At lease that's what I read from the Help. How could I get the PID of the iexplore.exe that my script opened via _IECreate()? I guess after _IEQuit() I could close the PID if I could find out which one it was. I just dont want to close all iexplore.exe via ProcessClose() as I may have other webpages or IETabs open that I dont want to close GoogleDude Edited January 8, 2009 by GoogleDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Multiple IE instances use the same iexplore.exe process. Wne the last instance attached is closed (quit) the process runs down.

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?
