Hi all,

I am using IEAttach to attach to an existing window that appears to have one form in it, with lots of links and a few text boxes.

Basically I am trying to find the object for the text box and change the value from 0 to 60 (for Refresh Rate).

Window info does nothing to tell me what element the text box is, so I am having a hard time locating it and I want to avoid mouse clicking like the plague because window size/resolution changes.

I have tried multiple things to get a collection of all the elements, but with no success.

Here is my code that successfully attaches to the window.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IEAttach ("AnyQueue", "embedded")
$sMyString = "Host"
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink in $oLinks
    $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
    If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then
       ;_IEAction($oLink, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

$oForms = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE)
MsgBox(0, "Forms Info", "There are " & @extended & " forms on this page")
For $oForm In $oForms
    MsgBox(0, "Form Info", $oForm.name)
;$oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection ($oForm, 1)
    
Next

Oops mods... my bad I think this should go under general support not GUI support. Can you move it for me?

I don't see a button to do that, thanks!

An update... looks like the text box I am trying to update is in a table... now the question is how to update the value and press enter.

Here is the source I found:

<input name=arrate size=2 maxlength=3 value="60" type=text>

Basically I want to change the value to 60 (from 0) and hit enter.

$oFormElement = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "arrate")

then use _IEFormElementSetValue

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. 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?

Thanks Dale! You are the man!

Here is the final code that I used:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IEAttach ("AnyQueue", "embedded")
$sMyString = "Host"
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE)
For $oLink in $oLinks
    $sLinkText = _IEPropertyGet($oLink, "innerText")
    If StringInStr($sLinkText, $sMyString) Then
       ;_IEAction($oLink, "click")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

$oFormElement = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "arrate")
_IEFormElementSetValue ($oFormElement, "60")
_IEAction ($oFormElement, "focus")
Send("{ENTER}")
