Loop through _IEFrameGetCollection looking for _IEFormGetObjByName

[jayyx]

I will start by saying I'm no expert and my code is sloppy. However, I was able to accomplish what I needed. Here is my problem...

;Local $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, 1)
;Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oFrame, "DlgAddWorkspace")

That code works to grab my objects on one system, but on another system the frame index number changes -- so it can not successfully grab the $oForm object. I have been trying to figure out the best way to loop through the entire _IEFrameGetCollection looking for the Form 'DlgAddWorkspace' but I have not been able to do so thus far. I need a little guidance or the best approach for this.

This doesn't work but I tried something along the lines of a loop within a loop:

Do
Local $oFrames = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE)
Local $iNumFrames = @extended
For $i = 0 To ($iNumFrames - 1)
    Local $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $i)
    Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oFrame, "DlgAddWorkspace")
Next
If isObj($oForm) Then
$i = $iNumFrames
EndIf
Until isObj($oForm)

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I found a method that works but isn't fool proof...any suggestions for improvements would be much appreciated!

$FrameCount = 1
Local $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $FrameCount)
Local $oFormCollection = _IEFormGetCollection($oFrame)
If @extended > 0 Then
Local $oForm = _IEGetObjByName($oFrame, "DlgAddWorkspace")
Else
$FrameCount = $FrameCount + 1
Local $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $FrameCount)
Local $oFormCollection = _IEFormGetCollection($oFrame)
If @extended > 0 Then
Local $oForm = _IEGetObjByName($oFrame, "DlgAddWorkspace")
Else
$FrameCount = $FrameCount + 1
Local $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $FrameCount)
Local $oFormCollection = _IEFormGetCollection($oFrame)
If @extended > 0 Then
Local $oForm = _IEGetObjByName($oFrame, "DlgAddWorkspace")
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf

I think I've ended up answering my own question in the end, but will post here for anyone who may have the same problem...

Do
Local $FrameCount = $framecount + 1
Local $oFrame = _IEFrameGetCollection($oIE, $FrameCount)
Sleep(200)
Local $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oFrame, "DlgAddWorkspace")
Sleep(200)
Until isObj ($oForm)

I am still open to suggestions for a better way to go about this..

Perfect example of how writing your code for someone else to read, can easily wind up being self educational.

Thanks.
