Hello guys,

I am new here in our forum. I do have a little knowledge about AutoIt. I hope you could assist me. :)

I am currently working on a project. I want to try to create an automated time tracking tool.

This is how I want to function our time tracking tool.

  • Start time when the IE "get" button  is clicked.
  • End time when either "Next Step", "Save" or "Cancel" button is clicked.
  • All the values in the available fields will be stored in an Excel

I already have codes for the time tracking part, unfortunately, I cannot proceed since I am encountering an error for detecting the buttons in IE.

Here is my initial code for detecting the IE button. 

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("C:\Users\april\Documents\Logo\JRB\AutoIt\AutoBOT\AWD10\sampleAWD10.html")

Local $oLastName = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oIE, "Text4")
Local $oGetItem = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oIE, "getitem")

_IELoadWait($oIE)
_IEAction($oGetItem, "click")


MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Form Element Value", _IEFormElementGetValue($oGetItem))

Here is the console output. 

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\AutoIt3.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.au3" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "C:\Users\april\Documents\Logo\JRB\AutoIt\AutoBOT\AWD10\AWD10.au3" /UserParams

Here are the errors.

You can resolve the initial error by setting the $iWait parameter to 0. 

Local $oIE = _IECreate("C:\Users\april\Documents\Logo\JRB\AutoIt\AutoBOT\AWD10\sampleAWD10.html", 0, 1, 0)

The next issue is that you are calling _IEFormElementGetObjByName with the incorrect first parameter. Instead of passing a reference to the IE object, you need to pass the appropriate form object.

Also, you probably need to use _IEGetObjByName to get the reference to the "getitem" button since it doesn't appear to reside within a form.

Hello @Danp2,

I have tried your code and it already solve the "Disconnected" error.

But unfortunately, the object still not detected.

Here is the new code I have used. 

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("C:\Users\april\Documents\Logo\JRB\AutoIt\AutoBOT\AWD10\sampleAWD10.html",0,1,0)

Local $oLastName = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "Text4")
Local $oGetItem = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "getitem")

_IELoadWait($oIE)
_IEAction($oGetItem, "click")

Here is the console output.

Looks like you'll need to use _IEAttach to get a valid reference to the created IE instance. Here's one way to do it -- 

#include <IE.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

_IECreate("C:\Users\april\Documents\Logo\JRB\AutoIt\AutoBOT\AWD10\sampleAWD10.html",0,1,0)
Local $oIE = _IEAttach("", "instance", 1)
_IELoadWait($oIE)

Local $oLastName = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "Text4")
Local $oGetItem = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "getitem")

_IEAction($oGetItem, "click")

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Form Element Value", _IEFormElementGetValue($oGetItem))

Thanks Danp2.

I have tried the updated code and unfortunately, still not getting a match.

I also tried to tweak it, but it is still not working.

Here is the console output.

By the way, does #RequireAdmin connected to the issue?

It worked for me when no other instance of IE was loaded. If you have other active tabs, then you will need to adjust the _IEAttach or come up with another way to get the reference to the correct IE instance.

I have given another try the code and it is already working now. ;)

It's kinda weird since it is not working earlier. :sweating:

Thanks a lot with the help! Your the best! B)

Can I contact you again if I have other questions?!? :lol:
