_IEAttach() and Internet Explorer 10 'IEStatus_NoMatch'

[VixinG]

Hey guys 

I tried to attach to currently running Internet Explorer process, but without success.
I even looped it, just like DaleHohm said

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("Google - Windows Internet Explorer")
Do
Local $oIE = _IEAttach($hWnd, "HWND")
Sleep(500)
Until IsObj($oIE)
MsgBox(0, "IE URL", _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "locationurl"))

Sadly, it can't attach. I'm getting error:

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IEStatus_NoMatch

I was working on IE 9 before and couldn't attach, so I installed IE 10, hoping it will resolve this issue, but nope...

Have you got any ideas?

Would greatly appreciate any help!

What does $hWnd contain after the WinGetHandle? Do you check to see if it got a valid window handle before calling the _IEAttach function with it? Have you tried the AutoItOptions for matching a window title when using WinGetHandle?

Yes, I'm always using it for longer names like this.

#include <IE.au3>

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[Class:IEFrame]")
ConsoleWrite(WinGetTitle($hWnd) & @CRLF) ; shows exact name
Do
Local $oIE = _IEAttach($hWnd, "HWND")
Sleep(500)
Until IsObj($oIE)
MsgBox(0, "IE URL", _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "locationurl"))

Still the same error.

I don't understand why you are using the Do...Until loop, but no matter...

Is there anything unique about this browser instance you are attempting to attach to?  How was it created?  In what context is it displayed (embedded, full browser instance, etc.)?  Might you be trying to attach to a browser placed into an elevated security zone?

I saw a topic where someone had similar problem (couldn't _IEAttach() ) and you told him to try loop it until it successfully attach.

It's manually opened IE process from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". It's not maximized.

Edit:

I uninstalled IE10 and went back to IE9. Everything works now. I can attach without errors.
Sorry to bother you.
