AutoIT & IE7?

[jbc1]

Hi,

I'm have been using AutoIT for some time to automate my applications install.

My scripts work OK on ie6, but not on ie7. I have the latest AutoIT version installed, 3.3.0.0.

Is IE7 Supported?

Thanks,

jbc1

In all of the ways I use it, it works just fine...

I think you'll want to post an example of what's failing for you.

Here is the (custom) function I use to wait for controls:

expandcollapse popup

Func _MISC_ControlSearchWait($controlName, $windowName, $timeout, $logfile, $iFrameName = "" )
    $Previous_Time = TimerInit()
    While TimerDiff($Previous_Time) < $timeout

            _FileWriteLog($logfile, "WARNING:  _MISC_ControlSearchWait -> Unable to get handle to " & $WindowName & @CRLF)
        ;Return 0
        Else
        ;Once we have the handle to the window, we get a handle to the embedded Internet Explorer_Server control
            $wa = WinActivate($Win_hWnd)
            $cc = ControlClick ($Win_hWnd, "", "[Class:Internet Explorer_Server]")

    _FileWriteLog($logfile,"ERROR!:  _MISC_ControlSearchWait -> " & $timeout &" msecs timeout reached!" & @CRLF)
    Return 0; Zero represents the control was not found within the specified timeout
EndFunc

Works just fine on IE6, but not on IE7.

Can anybody see any reason why?

You'll need to narrow it down more.

Works just fine on IE6, but not on IE7.

...missing a lot of information here:

What happens when you run it? What was supposed to happen? What errors come up on the console pane when you run it from SciTE? What does it show in $logfile?
