sharrakor Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm trying to get controlClick to work in a web browser, to even just controlSend, but neither are working for me. I've tried IE, FireFox, Google Chrome and OffByOne. How can I tell what applications these will work for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I have always used these for message box type windows, such as when IE errors out and I need to click close. To automate a browser look at the _IE functions in the help file.

BinaryBrother Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The 'AutoIt Window Information Tool' will help you there, if that tool can get ControlID's, so can AutoIt... It is included with AutoIt. As far as clicking inside a browser, look at the IE UDF... Under _IE in the help file. Happy coding.

sharrakor Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Thank you both. Much appreciated! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can these _IE commands be executed on a minimized/hidden IE window?
