LubeLee Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I am doing a small util. 1. It opens IE, navigates to a URL 2. It inputs data to a form on IE 3. It clears cookies as follows: Tools - Internet Options - Delete... - Delete all... - Yes - OK 4. It repeats the procedure from Step 1. to Step 3. for another input data. My problem is my IE must appear on screen while doing these Steps. I want my IE to do these Steps but it must appear as minimized. Is there any way to do this Pls. help, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaFu Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Launche IE with something like this ShellExecute("iexplore.exe","http://www.google.com","","",@SW_MINIMIZE) and hook to that instance with the IE.au3 standard UDF library.

DaleHohm Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 You can also make IE totally invisible (not just minimized) by using the correct parameter in _IECreate Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?

LubeLee Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yes, thanks, bros, But while IE is minimized or invisible, how can I do things like, FORM FILL & IE CONFIG (such as Delete Cookies --- I can do this through IE's menu when IE is visible) Pls. help, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 You can fill forms using the IE.au3 UDF (that is where _IECreate lives). See the helpfile. _IEPropertyGet with the HWND parameter will give you the window handle and then you can use ControlSend for the menu functions.
