Slacker Radio Alarm Clock

[scatterjoy]

Hi, Newbie here thinks there has to be a better way. I want to run slacker radio as an alarm clock. Alarm functions tbd later (help welcome).

This works, but if slacker's window name changes, I could sleep through my day job.

What's the right way to do this? (If slacker radio has this feature, I can't find it, but I'd rather learn how to use AutoIT anyway)

Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE")

WinWaitActive("Google - Windows Internet Explorer")

WinSetState("Google - Windows Internet Explorer","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

MouseClick("",225,40)

send("http://www.slacker.com/")

send("{ENTER}")

WinSetState("Slacker Personal Radio - Listen to Free Internet Radio Stations - Windows Internet Explorer","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

Sleep(20000)

MouseClick("",481,386)

Sleep(2000)

MouseClick("",818,386)

Thanks

_IENavigate() ?

jebus495 is totally on the mark, dig into those _IE functions and you're going to feel silly for how easy you should be able to do this.

That's the way to do it. For anyone interested:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.slacker.com/",0,1,1,1)

WinSetState("Slacker Personal Radio - Listen to Free Internet Radio Stations - Windows Internet Explorer","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

;pause while radio loads and then choose station. Open C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\au3info to use mouse finder and change station
