Dealing with unexpected pop up windows


Recommended Posts

Hi

Im looking to open a web site in internet explorer.  Sometimes though other pop up windows appear and interfere.  In Internet explorer for example a pop up "Welcome to Internet Explorer 8"  will occur and this throws things off as I want to send text into web page after it opens.

To counter this I am running internet explorer with extensions off to stop these windows from appearing but with mixed success.

I need to be certain I can open internet explorer and search this web page, and send/enter a string of text into that web page. withot other Internet explorer sub windows throwing things off.,

In the below example I am reading a sting of text from a text file and entering it into internet explorer.   This works sometimes and not others due to unforeseen windows spawining.

If you know anything drop me a line

Thanks

#include <array.au3>

#include <file.au3>

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

 

run("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff -noframemerging https://some.website.com")

; read the username from the preexisting text file

Local Const $sFilePath = "\scripts\TextInput.txt"

Local $hFileOpen=FileOpen($sFilePath, $FO_Read)

Local $sFileRead=FileReadLine($hFileOpen, 1)

FileClose($hFileOpen)

Sleep(2000)

Send($sFileRead)

Why you are using Run() ??
Try to use _IE... functions.

btw.

I wasint aware of any other way

Ive had a look and seethe _IECreate  command and gave it a test and it opens the browser

It opens up IE and the with the text specified, ill see if I can do it this way.

Will using _IECreate stop the child windopws from Internet explorer occuring? 

Can we use this to open up chrome also?  We have some web apps that must use chrome.

When the browsers open I want them to open only the page I specify and not generate any other but they try to open their own tab 1st

e.g.  chrome goes first to its log into Chrome Tab.

Please be mindful Im not a programmer

Thanks
