[wolendranh]

Hi!

I need to get an control in 3rd party application witch use Internet Explorer_Server class. 

It is online installer that use IE for displaying.

I saw an few snippets with _IEAttach but I am not sure how to make them suitable to my installer.

Could you help with it?

You're more likely to get help if you provide the program name and access to the installer or your code that is causing problems.

 This UI Automation works on installer of WinZIP

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Sample to get thru first step of installer (find window and click next button)

You could have been doing this

_UIA_Action("name:=next","left")

compared to my preference of giving first a logical name and in the actual script use the logical name

_UIA_setVar("WinZIP.Next","name:=Next >")
_UIA_action("WinZIP.Next","left")

expandcollapse popup

Hello Junkew!

Thanks for great help! I tried script sample provided by you, but find out that there is an error:

 UIAWrappers.au3 (563) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".

[junkew]

you need to provide more info

1. run it from SCITE

2. what do you see as output on the consolewindow

Which language and version of Windows are you using

3.Start from the UIA thread in the first post the simple spy

4. Start the winzip installer

5. Once you see the screen hover with the mouse to the window and press the shortkey ctrl+w and post what you see as based on that you can see the controls getting highlighted and from the properties I can determine the description you have to use

Hi!

It seems it was my fault!

It solve my problem ! thank you very much! I was looking for such method a lot of time. 

If you have a time, one more question:

Where could i find some *info for your includes?(UIA_action and etc.)

[junkew]

Just follow that specific thread and wait for updates/documentation and ask your request(s) in the UIA thread and I will answer them

For the moment its just by reading that specific thread and the sourcecode of the UDF. UIA is a large framework and with the UDF I am trying to simplifying it (and leave the power to the powerusers that can read the UDF)
