Hi, I'm writing a script that interacts with a webpage. The contents of the webpage depend on the size of the browser window. To get the (for me) correct contents from the page, the browser window must be maximized. However, I also don't need or want to see the browser window when the script creates it, so it should be invisible. At first I created the browser window with simply this: $oIE = _IECreate ($url ,0 ,0 ,1 ,0) However, from the results I can see that the invisible browser window isn't maximized. So I changed the code to maximize the window, but then it becomes visible. Now I have this: $oIE = _IECreate ($url ,0 ,0 ,1 ,0) $hIE = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd") WinSetState($hIE, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) WinSetState($hIE, "", @SW_HIDE) ...but then I do see the browser window shortly when it is maximized. I could live with that if it were just a single browser window. But the script is opening (and closing) quite a few browser windows, and I don't wait to see them flicker, nor do I want to (be able to accidentally) interact with these windows. Any ideas on how to create and invisible yet maximized IE windows?
