Display loop count

[ssah8]

So im creating a bot that logs in on a website. The website got a dropdown menu, and I have to choose the right one to login (Student)

#include <IE.au3>
#inculude <Inet.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("<snip>")

$Name = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "ssusername")
$Pass = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "sspassword")
$dropdown = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "usertype")

_IEPropertySet($Name, 'innerText', 'censored')
_IEPropertySet($Pass, 'innerText', 'censored')
_IEPropertySet($dropdown, 'innerText', 'Student') <------ How do I make the dropdown list select "Student"?

Does this even work? Normally you would want to us _IEFormElementSetValue.

Take a look at _IEFormElementOptionSelect.

[ssah8]

It didn't work. Im new to AutoIT. Can you please write an example?

[ssah8]

_IEFormElementOptionSelect($dropdown, 'innerText', 'Student')

That didn't work either.

"Didn't work" isn't sufficient feedback. Next time, post the results from the Scite output window.

Here's a working example using the proper _IE functions --

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("https://sms14.schoolsoft.se/engelska/jsp/Login.jsp?eventMessage=ERR_Not_Logged_In")

$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, 'userForm')
$Name = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "ssusername")
$Pass = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "sspassword")
$dropdown = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "usertype")

_IEFormElementSetValue($name, 'censored')
_IEFormElementSetValue($Pass, 'censored')
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($dropdown, 'Student', 1, 'byText')
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

And how do I make that a loop?

[spudw2k]

Why do you need it to loop?  Kinda smells like you trying to spam and/or brute force the login.

[Danp2]

If you want further assistance, please provide a detailed explanation of how you would be using this code in a loop.

[ssah8]

I want it all to be repeated over and over again. I have now copy and pasted everything like 100 times, it works, but not as efficient.

[spudw2k]

There are plenty of loop examples on the forum and in your help file.

I'm still not getting the big picture.  There shouldn't be any need to have to login hundreds of times.  Why not login once an pull all the data you need while in the single session?

[Danp2]

Yeah... why do you need to continuously log into the same website multiple times?

Please explain clearly why this is needed at all before asking any other question.

Well, on my profile page on the website,there is a login count. I want to boost that login count to a higher number. Anything more I have to explain?

[mLipok]

Exactly which one website - do you mean AutoIt Forum ?

@mLipok He wants to boost his login count on his school's website.   Is that accurate @ssah8 ?  

You wouldn't by chance be required to login so many times a week/period and/or get perks the higher your login count is...do you?  Artificially raising the login count still doesn't seem right to me.  There's got to be a reward for you doing so, otherwise you'd use some other web server.

It's just a fun thing to do, and why do you care? I get to do whatever I want to, I just needed help with that.

Pop this in before the function, adjust the sleep time to whatever exceeds your needs. Example, you know the cycle duration to log in and bump the counter is 3 minutes. adjust the timer to three minute value

While 1
   Sleep (50)

WEnd

Per help details.... Amount of time to pause (in milliseconds).

.. and why is that important? Doesn't sound as a very "smart" thing to do as it is likely logged.

Hello.

I was wondering how I could make a status info box in autoit. I can explain it in a sentence.

Let's say there is a number on a website (1). After some minutes, that number updates to another number (5). How do an status box that updates that number aswell in autoit? I am thinking of a GUI.

 

Thanks
