IE screenx property messes up if you scroll, how to fix?

[dusty071]

Hi, im trying to find the exact coordinates of IE object on the screen. _IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "screeny") gets the closest, since its correct until you scroll down. The coordinates stay in place even if you scroll, making the screen coordinates of that element wrong the moment you start scrolling. Ive been trying to find the current number of pixels that the page is scrolled and then add it to the screeny property, but none of the functions im finding dont seem to return the current scrolled value. I tried $oIE.document.window.pageYOffset , .scrolltop, etc. Maybe im not using them correctly, or they just dont work. Help much appreciated.

You have to recalculate after Each Scroll

I had an idea for you may you can use

#include <Misc.au3>

If _Ispressed ("***") 

Then "recalculate"

The only unknow thing is, i am not sure you have an exa code for the mouse scroll ... "?"

Or even maybe that :

If MouseWheel ( "up") or MouseWheel ( "down")

Then "recalculate "

Example:

#include <IE.au3>

HotKeySet("{NUMPADADD}", "_mousemove")

$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/164509-ie-screenx-property-messes-up-if-you-scroll-how-to-fix/")
$oDiv = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "post_id_1200002")

;if i use scrollintoview which i need to, the coords get wrong since any type of scrolling ruins screenx and screeny
;_IEAction($oDiv, "scrollintoview")

While 1
   ToolTip("screenx: " & _IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "screenx") & "  screeny: " & _IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "screeny"), 0, 0)
   Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func _mousemove()
      MouseMove(_IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "screenx"), _IEPropertyGet($oDiv, "screeny"), 0)
EndFunc

You can use numpad+ to test the coords. You can see that the coords are correct even if you move the window around, but the moment you do any type of scrolling the coords are ruined. I think i only need the number of pixels that the page is scrolled at the moment so that i can add it to the screeny.

Focus brings the object into view...no need for complicated movements

_IEAction($oObj,"Focus")

Try coordinate mode with windows and use the methode i said you , logicaly it should work.

Maybe try :  _IEPropertyGet  "browserx" and "browsery" + WinGetPos(browser)
