There is the code, it clicks on the proper images, but the problem is, its opening as a pop-up and that is not what i want.

What i want is:

1. click on the proper images - ok

2. open the related pages as tabs without focus or hidden, and if possible using a known object, so i could overwrite them saving RAM, because that Func will be in a loop.

That is pretty much it, i just do not want a zillion pop-ups as i loop that Func.

Sounds like the browser behaviour.

Internet Options > Tabs > Settings assuming you're using ie7 or greater.

Hm Grunty I tried messing up with Tab configuration but no good.

Since you dropped that reply I realized that I have not been as specific as i should.

Said that, let`s see if I can correct myself this time.

When I send the command to click the image with _IEFormImageClick, it creates a new window of IE, I am guessing that its not considered a pop-up, but a new IE instance.

With that in mind I am still in need of what I posted starting this topic. Which is...

Try to set the security to lowest possible , i slightly remember it was something like that.Of course it is not good to have it like that.

I do not see where doing this will help in anything, the pages I click using IEFormImageClick, opens normally, the only problem is that they open as a IE new window, and if i loop that Func N times, I will have (6 * N + 1) pages, that's nothing pretty to see.

Anyways lets put it the simplest it can get.

How can I perform an IEFormImageClick, and send that clicked image to open itself in an IE instance of my choice?

And why dont you get the address the image points to and use IENavigate to open it in whatever IE window you want?

This is the technique I would recommend as well. You can modify the html so that it does what you want when you click it, of you can simply figure out what it is doing and do it your self. _IEPropertyGet($oImg, "outerhtml") my give you what you need.

Lord it works but I have made some mod on your code if you do not mind.. Here it is:

expandcollapse popup

#Region Global Constants
#include <IE.au3>
Global $oIE

;Config/URL's
Global Const $urlVoteCP = 'http://mysite/'

;Config names of images
Global Const $voteLink1 = '1.jpg'
Global Const $voteLink2 = '2.jpg'
Global Const $voteLink3 = '3.jpg'
Global Const $voteLink4 = '4.jpg'
Global Const $voteLink5 = '5.gif'
Global Const $voteLink6 = '6.jpg'
#EndRegion Global Constants


While 1

$oIE = _IECreate()
$hWND = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")
WinSetState($hWND, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

_vote()

_IEQuit ($oIE)

WEnd


Func _vote()

    ;Vai à página de voto e clica nas imagens usando 'src' / Go to voting webpage and clicks the images using 'src' (default)
    _IENavigate ($oIE,$urlVoteCP,1)
    _IEFormImageClick ($oIE, $voteLink1)
    _IEFormImageClick ($oIE, $voteLink2)
    _IEFormImageClick ($oIE, $voteLink3)
    _IEFormImageClick ($oIE, $voteLink4)
    _IEFormImageClick ($oIE, $voteLink5)
    _IEFormImageClick ($oIE, $voteLink6)
    Sleep (2000)
        _IENavigate ($oIE,$urlVoteCP,1)

EndFunc

I removed some lines and the parameter 'SRC', no need for that, it is default anyways. It is opening the image clicks as new tabs which is great, but now I am trying to understand, each tab is a new Object? or it is the same ($oIE) object?

I say that because, when i get to that _IEQuit ($oIE) it closes only the main tab, the other tabs created by clicking the images do not close.

So I wonder,

How can i get the '2nd run' to open attached to the other tabs opened before upon clicking. Or

How can i manage to kill the tabs opened with the _IEFormImageClick, retaining the main one?

And why dont you get the address the image points to and use IENavigate to open it in whatever IE window you want?

Juvigy, Dale,

Dale first off, man what a nice UDF, I have to say thank you and congratulate you on this fine job, keep up bro.

So, I tried to navigate directly to the other website, which would be the simplest, yet effective, but seems that the page itself has a script to identify if you simply click on the image or go to the address directly, and it only count voting if it detects that you clicked the image. Anyways that is what I could think of.

I will attach the website source, so you guys can see better, Hope I do not get in trouble for this >_<

Regards to all,

You guys rock!

Diogo Fernandes.
