Hi everybody Currently I need to tick a checkbox that runs on IE. But I can't click on it. Although the correct object has been specified. Here is my code: #include <IE.au3> $oIE = _IEAttach("WEB") $oLinks = _IETagNameGetCollection($oIE, 'span') For $oLink In $oLinks $a = String($oLink.classname) == 'x-column-header-text' $b = StringLeft(String($oLink.id), 10) == 'gridcolumn' If $a And $b Then _IEAction($oLink, "click") ConsoleWrite("Founded" & @CRLF) ExitLoop Else ConsoleWrite("Not Found" & @CRLF) EndIf Next After inspecting the element it shows only 1 line of code: <div class="x-column-header x-column-header-checkbox x-column-header-align-left x-box-item x-column-header-default x-unselectable x-column-header-first x-grid-hd-checker-on" id="gridcolumn-1588" style="margin: 0px; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 24px; right: auto; border-top-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px;"> <div class="x-column-header-inner" id="gridcolumn-1588-titleEl"> <span class="x-column-header-text" id="gridcolumn-1588-textEl"></span> </div> </div> Here is an image of the checkbox: I used more ways to check: - _IEGetObjById => IEAction($oLink, "click") not working - _IETableGetCollection => _IETableWriteToArray gives an error - _IEImageClick All are not working. Hope to get a response from everyone. Thank you very much.

What is the way to use proxy with authentication in automating IE? I managed to change proxy and port in registry, but I can't find a way to use login and password for proxy. Can anyone point to a working way?

Because there is no GPO/GPP to set the printing margins to the minimum size in Internet Explorer, I was searching a way to achieve it with a script. Well, not easy... An easy way to set the margins to there minimum size is to set margin values to 0 from the Page setup window in Internet Explorer. When you re-open the Page setup window, the margins are set to there minimum sizes. It's because the minimum margins are based on the default printer's capabilities. When we set the margins values in the Page setup window, Internet Explorer checks if each value can me supported by the default printer, else it uses the minimum size from the printer capabilities. We could think that we have just to set the registry margins values to 0 but no, the Page setup window keeps 0 for each margin, so it doesn't work. Here is the code I made to define the margins, without using the Page setup from Internet Explorer : #Include <WinAPI.au3> #include <WinAPISys.au3> Global Const $PHYSICALOFFSETX = 112 Global Const $PHYSICALOFFSETY = 113 Global Const $LOGPIXELSX = 88 Global Const $LOGPIXELSY = 90 Global Const $PHYSICALWIDTH = 110 Global Const $PHYSICALHEIGHT = 111 Global Const $HORZRES = 8 Global Const $VERTRES = 10 Global $aRes = DllCall("GDI32.dll", "hwnd", "CreateDC", "str", "winspool", "str", _WinAPI_GetDefaultPrinter(), "long", 0, "long", 0) If @error Then Exit Global $hPrintDc = $aRes[0] Global $iLOGPIXELSX = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hPrintDc, $LOGPIXELSX) Global $iLOGPIXELSY = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hPrintDc, $LOGPIXELSY) Global $iPHYSICALWIDTH = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hPrintDc, $PHYSICALWIDTH) Global $iPHYSICALHEIGHT = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hPrintDc, $PHYSICALHEIGHT) Global $iHORZRES = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hPrintDc, $HORZRES) Global $iVERTRES = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hPrintDc, $VERTRES) Global $iPHYSICALOFFSETX = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hPrintDc, $PHYSICALOFFSETX) Global $iPHYSICALOFFSETY = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hPrintDc, $PHYSICALOFFSETY) Global $iMarginsLeft = $iPHYSICALOFFSETX / $iLOGPIXELSX Global $iMarginsTop = $iPHYSICALOFFSETY / $iLOGPIXELSY Global $iMarginsBottom = (($iPHYSICALHEIGHT - $iVERTRES) / $iLOGPIXELSY) - ($iPHYSICALOFFSETY / $iLOGPIXELSY) Global $iMarginsRight = (($iPHYSICALWIDTH - $iHORZRES) / $iLOGPIXELSX) - ($iPHYSICALOFFSETX / $iLOGPIXELSX) RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup", "margin_bottom", "REG_SZ", $iMarginsBottom) RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup", "margin_left", "REG_SZ", $iMarginsLeft) RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup", "margin_right", "REG_SZ", $iMarginsRight) RegWrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup", "margin_top", "REG_SZ", $iMarginsTop) The code was adapted from here : http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/en/printcode.php?id=1039 I hope it will be useful for someone

I've tried for a few days to simply open a url in IE and click an IE object that I can't "TAB" to and don't want to use a mouse-click if at all possible. I've read up on things like using IEAction and IETagNameGetCollection to find the object but not smart enough to figure out how that works with my url or how to tell if my url is "basic" or a "form", "frameset", "iframe", etc. The other problem is I've tried using the "Run" and "ShellExecute" commands to open the browser, which works, but it opens it in a way that doesn't include my currently logged in user account. For example, if I just click IE or Chrome for that matter and open my default homepage of google, the page that opens knows I'm logged in. When I use "Send" "ShellExecute" or "_IE_Create" they always open pages generically which would require a login. So questions are, if I have a URL I'm trying to open, that's passes the currently logged on users credentials when opening the page (no clue where that happens) 1. Are there any code examples someone is willing to share that opens my IE maximized, with logged in credentials, and 2. Once that works, can someone suggest a technique a non-developer can find which IE Objects I need to send a "click" to so it opens the correct menu, pop-up, url, etc., associated with that object. I've copied what doesn't work and sure I'm way off but it's not for a lack of effort. I'll keep trying and post updates but not looking good 🙂 #include <IE.au3> Call ("selection") Func selection () Global $oIE = _IECreate ("https://internal-webpage.aspx") Local $selectid = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "signageNo") Local $button = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "GO") _IEFormElementOptionSelect ($selectid, "3") _IEAction ($button,"click") EndFunc #include <IE.au3> Call ("selection") Func selection () Global $oIE = _IECreate ("https://internal-webpage.aspx") Local $selectid = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "signageNo") Local $button = _IEGetObjByName ($oIE, "GO") _IEFormElementOptionSelect ($selectid, "3") _IEAction ($button,"click") EndFunc 1.

My AutoIt script works fine, for the most part, however, if it goes idle for roughly 30 minutes, it will won't be able to send data to a 3rd party application window titled, "Case #". The problem lies within the function "SendFusion", it's able to see the handle for the "WinActivate" and "WinWaitActivate" (I've also tried putting in 10 seconds in the WinWaitActivate as well, doesn't work). However, if we have been idle, it will always fail to send data afterward. On what I've tried so far: "Send" function with the data and a {ENTER} i.e. Send($CaseTxt & "{ENTER}"), this won't even hit the enter key ControlSetText, tried passing the handle from WinActivate, using the title "Case #" that was copied directly from the Autoit Window Info, hard coding the title, Using CLASS:WindowsForms10... always returns a 0 ControlCommand (same as above) always returns a 0 ControlGetFocus always returns a 0 ControlFocus, always returns a 0 Creating a new and simple Au3 script that just sends data to "Case #", also fails NOTE: If I close the Au3 script and just scan the data directly into the "Case #" or even type it, it works fine with no issues. I'm confused as to why it would not work after a long idle period? Below are the essential parts of the script, I can provide the entire thing if needed.

So far the only work-around is to close down the 3rd party application and the AutoIt script, re-open them and it works all completely fine. But this is a pain for the end-user since it's all touch screen and it slows down their workflow, which they can be extremely sensitive about.

Hi, At work we have some proprietary website, users have to login to. I have "made" an autoit executable to start IE, go the website, login, so the user do not have input their credentials every time. By NDA I am not allowed disclosed the URL of the website nor the login credentials So I made a fake website and an autoitscript to illustrate my question. #include <ie.au3> $oIE = _IECreate ("about:blank", 0, 1, 1, 1) $HWND = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd") WinActivate ($HWND,"") WinSetState($HWND, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) _IENavigate ($oIE, "http://demo.rkilinc.nl",1) The above start my demo website. The actual website has some links in the footer that I do not want most people click on. I contacted the developers of the website and they are thinking of making an option to configure what links to show in the footer, but they said it's not a high priority for them. I discovered, that by click F12 and deleting the <footer> element the footer is delete from the live page view (until the page is reloaded off course) I want to automate the removal of the footer, without using things like send(). I tried getting the footer with _IEGetObjById and deleting it with _IEAction, but that didn't work. Does any one has an idea how I could delete the footer directly from view with an autoit script? TIA, Jem.

Hello, I am working on an autoIT script for CyberArk which is running Internet Explorer and connecting the user to a web application. For an unknown reason (I cannot explain why), IE has some trouble to start, only after a long disconnecting period (morning or after lunch). If he tries again, no problem, IE starts. I open a case with CyberArk but I am also searching a workaround, I thought to kill the process directly, or set a timeout with _IELoadWait but the process is not really created.. May do you have any ideas for helping me ? Thanks in advance

Wrote a script that grabs all of the IP addresses from Netflix's IP log, checks the IPs and returns suspicious activity. Everything works as it should but only when _IECreate is set to visible. When visible is set to false, it fails to login for some reason. Any ideas what might cause it and/or how to circumvent that?

Hello again, I am in phase two of my help bot. I cannot figure out how to properly code Autoit to click on a webpage button using the I.E UDF. I want to click on the button that I have attached as an image. This button does not have a name but it has an ID. Here is the HTML code for this button that I found using chromes developer inspector. HTML Code: <img role="button" tabindex="-1" id="toolactions_INSERT-tbb_image" src="nav_icon_insertkey.gif" alt="New Work Order CTRL+ALT+I" draggable="false"> Here is the code that I have so far: ;******************************************************************************* ; Opens IE and fill out a New Workorder ;******************************************************************************* ; Start IE at the ** Tracking Application in ****** $oIE = _IECreate("https:I_am_Bound_by_my_company_to_not_reveal_this_webpage") ; Wait for a browser page load to complete _IELoadWait($oIE) Sleep(6000) ; Store the field names where the important data will be sent Local $nWorkOrderB = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "toolactions_INSERT-tbb_image") _IEAction($nWorkOrderB, "click") I want my program to click on the button that looks like a piece of paper with a blue # (For those wondering, I am allowed to send images just not the URL.) As always any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I have a situation where I need to make one request to get a kind of pre-logon page, then click a link on that pre-logon page, which then returns a login form page, and then fill in information in the form page and submit it. How can I handle that using AutoIT? I can get the AutoIT script to tab to the link, then send an ENTER, which then causes the FORM page to appear in IE. However, I cannot seem to get the form object from the FORM page (_IEFormGetObjByName fails when it searches for the form). Why is that, and how can I get the AutoIT to process the FORM page? Thanks, Jim

I have a script that opens some Excel books that are stored in SharePoint . Without getting to much into detail as its a very long story I have to open Internet Explorer to the SP site in order for all of this crap to work. Anyway I have a bit of code in my script that i found via google-fu $ieList = ProcessList("iexplore.exe") If IsArray($ieList) Then For $I = 1 To Ubound($ieList) -1 ProcessWaitClose($ieList[$I][1]) Next EndIf Exit Now on Windows 7 this bit works great. On Windows Server 2012 R2 where this things runs is another story. I need to be able to force close all instances of Internet explorer that are running as part of my code. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I'm struggeling with the following: In a website I have to fill in several items. For the normal fields I am able to fill in the information by using UDF "_IEGetObjByName". But there is also a dropdown menu and I can't figure out how to choose te right information from it. I have searched the helpfile and the forum but I can't figure it out. Here's an excerpt from the html-page of the site where the dropdown-menu is mentioned: <div class="col-md-10 padding-5"> <div class="btn-group m-r"> <input type="hidden" name="bedrijfId" class="bedrijfId" value=""> <button type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" class="btn btn-sm btn-default dropdown-toggle" > <span class="dropdown-label">Choose Company</span> <span class="caret"></span> </button> <ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-select" > <li data-value="2" data-field="bedrijfId"><a href="#"><input type="radio" name="drp1" />Company 1</a></li> <li data-value="38" data-field="bedrijfId"><a href="#"><input type="radio" name="drp1" />Company 2</a></li> <li data-value="42" data-field="bedrijfId"><a href="#"><input type="radio" name="drp1" />Company 3</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> How do I select one of the companies from the dropdown menu? Thanks Joost

Hello, usually I do Win automations, so I have no skills at all to handle HTML forms :-/ The script to catch and syntax check the required information from Excel is done. Now I'd like to automate the upload using this form, too: http://flashcardsdeluxe.com/flashcards/Upload.aspx What browser is easiest to do so? (IE, Chrome, FF) The Values $DeckCode, $DeckName, $DeckDefinition shall go to their HTML form fields finally "click" the button "upload flashcards" <table width="70%" class="cssCenter" border="0"> <tr> <td style="width: 1%">Deck&nbsp;Code</td> <td style="width: 100%"><input name="ctlDeckCode" type="text" id="ctlDeckCode" style="width:50%;" /> (no spaces allowed)</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 1%">Deck&nbsp;Name</td> <td style="width: 100%"><input name="ctlDeckName" type="text" id="ctlDeckName" style="width:50%;" /> (optional)</td> <td style="width: 1%" align="right"><input type="submit" name="ctlUpload" value="Upload Flashcards" id="ctlUpload" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" style="padding-top: 5px" >Flashcard&nbsp;Text</td> <td colspan="2"><textarea name="ctlFlashcardText" rows="2" cols="20" id="ctlFlashcardText" style="height:280px;width:100%;"></textarea></td> </tr> </table> If someone kindly could jump in showing how to address just one of the input fields and how to "click" the "upload flashcards" button, I should be able to do the rest myself. TIA, Rudi.

Hi all, I've written the script below to automatically login to a website, in this case infusionsoft.com The auto login works fine. Is there a way for me to get errors from Internet explorer, if the login fails because of wrong login credentials. I have searched around, but cannot make sense of this.

Hi All I am new to AutoIT, its community, and pretty much programming in general. After a bit of online research, I decided to focus on AutoIT as my first programming attempt as it seems quite powerful and amazing once you become advanced at it. I have read some introductory pdfs which where good, including from the guy I think who invented it. I also watched various sketchy youtube videos, checked out the forum etc. I have to admit it's a bit confusing starting off but I reckon if I just keep pushing forward with continual hard work I can only get better. My first AutoIT project has been to open Internet Explorer and automatically log into Twitter to save doing it manually. I plan to run this after windows start up via task scheduler. I am using the #include <IE.au3> UDF but for some reason about 20% of the time I receive the following orange error notifications at the bottom of the editor (pic attached). When it happens the IE browser just doesn't open but the program continues to run which mucks up the script. Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed? Also is there some other better, less error prone way, to open IE and automatically log in? I have tried to use the Get Object NAME and ID commands to insert the username and password (i.e. the xxxxxxxxxx's) but when I right click to use "Inspect element" there is no name or id. It seems to be some sort of java script reference? I am using Windows 7 with latest updates and Internet Explorer version 11. As this is my first post I hope I am following protocols, and if not, please let me know and I will improve. Thanks

When I "inspect element" in the Search field I get the attached: Any help would be MUCH appreciated

I'm doing a script to login and check my grades for college and some other useful things. But how can I check if i'm already logged in. What I have tried is to _IEDocReadHTML and then try to read the string with my username or anything that indicates I am logged. But it never returns the actually real html that I am seeing on my browser. It only returned a logged out html version. Anyway I can find out when I am logged or not. Thanks.

Hi guys, I was trying to automate a webpage after getting input from excel. The script worked fine for like 5 iterations but then stopped all of a sudden, I dont have the exact error msg now, but it was pointing to this in the IE UDF:- Return SetError($_IESTATUS_Success, $oTemp.GetElementsByTagName($sTagName).length, When i looked up the forum there was a similar question which said that I have to fix KB 3008923 update by uninstalling it, but I am unable to do that. here is the link for download:- ( i guess ) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3024777/error-0x800706f7-occurs-after-you-install-kb-3004394-and-then-run-windows-update-in-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2 Does anybody know the proper steps to solve this?? Plus I wont be able to send the code here because of privacy policy n all by the company. Desperately looking for a reply.....

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, scripts using Inetget and InetRead no longer seem to recognize Internet Explorer cookies. This makes them useless for websites that require you to be logged in to. Has there been some sort of change to IE cookies because of the upgrade and new Edge browser? Is there a way around this?

Hi, I've written a script to automate the logging in to a website and the generation of results as shown in Capture1.JPG You'll see the number of results is displayed at the top, 12 in this case. What I can't work out is how to read that number into a variable. The section of code from the site is displayed in Capture2.JPG The only way I can think is to read the whole page with _IEBodyReadText($oIE) then use StringInStr to find it, however the result may be 1, 2 or 3 digits depending on the number of results so I'm not sure how that would be coded. Any help greatly appreciated.
