Internet explorer "properties"

[System Tester]

Gentlemen, Please help!

I wish to open an IE session, browse to a page & inspect the properties. All this I can do!

#include <IE.au3>
Local $oIE = _IECreate("bbc.co.uk")

_IELoadWait($oIE)

Sleep(2000)

Send("!f")
Sleep(500)
Send("r")

Sleep(1000)

 

 

What I can't do is use autoIt to extract the text to a file.

What's failed so far...

_IEPropertyGet - can't see which, if any option to use.

WinGetText - returns the text of the buttons.

ControlGetText - Returns blank.

_IEDocRead - the text of the main HTLM page

_IEAction - can't see which, if any option to use.

 

Is this even Possible?

 

Thanks

Pete

@System Tester What exactly are you trying to get (URL? Connection? etc.) There is almost surely an easier way to get what you're after, if we know precisely the information you're trying to cull from the Properties page.

Hi, I need the connection string for my test results, e.g.

"TLS 1.2, AES with 256 bit encryption (High); DH with 1024 bit exchange"

 

Thanks!

Some elements you can skip but something like below works on my dutch internetexplorer 11. You have to change some titles most likely

Bestand --> File and Eigenschappen ---> Options unclear for me what to change Toepassing to most likely Application

With the spy you then can further determine which elements you want or by looking in uiaWrappers as examples you can see if you want to search directly with the direct interfaces of iuiautomation.
