Get URL of active window

[colafrysen]

Hi, i want to get the URL of a Internet Explorer popup window, the title is the same as the URL

so i looked at the IE functions and realized i needed to use _IEPropertyGet ($o_object, "locationurl")

but how do i get the $o_object of a window that never has the exact same URL (and therefore title) ?

Sorry if this has been asked alot before, but i searched and i failed

Look at _IEAttach. In the help file you'll find Example 5 that connects to every available IE instance and returns the object reference. Then you can use _IEPropertyGet to select the IE instance you need.

Or you can use WinGetTitle("[active]") to get the active window's title.

I cant even get example 5 to work, because it seems my window is not recognised as a IE window the url is:

and dont know if a am getting this totaly wrong but is not the PDF opened in a web-based reader?

How am i to extract the url from a window not even recognised by autoit?

i just notet that its not opened as an PDF in firefox, only in IE

The PDF reader is a plug-in hosted by the browser. It replaces the MSHTML host and does not expose the DOM (document object model) that is used by IE.au3. IE.au3 cannot help you in this case.
