This looks like it might be a really nice utility, but I'm unable to get it to run!

I'm using AutoIt version 3.1.1.97 Beta, and have downloaded IE.au3 from the forum posting Internet Explorer Automation UDF library

When running it under the Beta, I get the message:

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\Include\IE.au3 (275) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
If (ObjName($o_window.document) = "DispHTMLDocument") Then
If (^ ERROR

The call "_IEAttach ($oIE)" on line 73 is failing within the _IEAttach() function in IE.au3.

Any thoughts?

Valuater · December 22, 2005

yes..

as i found out recently... i always downloaded "include files" into

C:\Program Files\Autoit\include\...

but there is a second include folder for the beta ( thx LxP )

copy IE.au3 to

C:\Program Files\Autoit\beta\include\..

that is where the program is looking

Valuater,

No, that is not the problem. The script gives a clear error message if IE.AU3 is not under beta\include, and I dutifully put a copy there too (as well as under the production Include directory). The script will does not run in either interpreted or compiled mode.

Maybe if you post the IE.AU3 you used - or a compiled version of the script.

i found the "_IEattach()" on line 73 of MY script... this was not utilized

so try to comment-out this section

; start at line 73
;_IEAttach ($oIE)
;If Not IsObj($oIE) Then
;   MsgBox(0, "IE test", "Failed")
;   $oIE = _IECreate ()
;   _IENavigate ($oIE, $sUrl)
;EndIf

i originally created this object with autoit-objects... not the library and tried to attach the library there after

let me know if that worked

Yep. It's running now. Thanks.

If I install AutoIt with this command:

Autoit_v3.1.1.exe /S /D=C:\AutoIt

Then install Scite4AutoIt3 like this

SciTe4AutoIt3_17.12.05.exe /S

Then the Beta goes into the AutoIt folder then your hardcoded code below will not work. This is not to mention that people may have program files on another drive where atleast the @ProgramFilesDir macro may have helped the success more.

If Not FileExists("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\Autoit3.exe") Then 
    MsgBox(64, "IE.au3 Error #1", "Autoit3 Beta is required   " & @CRLF & "Please download form www.Autoit3.com   ")
    Exit
EndIf
If Not FileExists("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\Include\IE.au3") Then 
    MsgBox(64, "IE.au3 Error #2", "IE.au3 Library is required   " & @CRLF & "Please download form www.Autoit3.com   ")
    Exit
EndIf

Look to the registry for AutoIt installation directory could be a better idea ?

I have not played with it yet to give applause but the picture tells the story. Looks like a cool program.

Valuater · January 7, 2006

thx MHz

updated 1-7-2006

added @ProgramFilesDir... as the file name is the same in beta and release version... and figured its for users here that should understand the difference

BasicOs · January 7, 2006

wouldnt it be better an script that enumerate all objetcs form etc in a txt file, so that we can use the ie functions ¿¿¿¿¿

objetcts:

1

2

3

4

forms:

1

2

3

4

5

tables:

1

2

3

explain to use into ie funcs

BUILDER IS USABLE AND QUICKER THAN SCITE IF YOU USE THIS enumetation

THANKS

Valuater · January 7, 2006

the idea behind the builder is

1

to simplify using all of the original IE UDF Library features and help at your finger-tips.

you can quickly switch between....

A view the page you want to work on

B View the source of that page

C Search the source of that page

D Find references in the Syntax

E Find examples to follow

F Catagorized Functions ( per Dales catagories )

G Build your script

2

to follow the original design and help as explained by Dale Hohm

3

the Builder Form is designed so you can add/remove/edit all lines of text and also you can type in AU3 commands. for example... Sleep(200)

4

You can Test the script with the *Test Run Form* button. This calls the *beta exe* to run your script

5

the button *Copy to ClipBoard* allows you to paste your script wherever you want... a text file or the SciTE Program or ????

Thanks for the response

You know Valuater, BasicOs makes an interesting suggestion... I think adding information from the document element discovery examples would make this really useful... take look and see what you think.

MHz mentioned above to use the @ProgramFilesDir macro to find the installation of AutoIt beta and IE.au3. The only problem with this idea is that @ProgramFilesDir still only looks at 1 drive. On my computer, I have C: and D: drives, and my AutoIt installation is on my D: drive. Therefore, @ProgramFilesDir doesn't find the installation and returns errors.

My suggestion is to also search the registry for the AutoIt installation, or use DriveGetDrive ("fixed") to get every drive on the computer, and check each one of those in the program files dir.

GaryFrost · February 18, 2006

maybe something more along the lines, if not found where expected in the registry, then let the user select it, for example:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

Dim $radio[10], $Input[10], $Combo[10]
Dim $count = 1, $prg = 0
Dim $wloc = @ScriptDir & "\web.ini"
Dim $AutoItBetaLocation
$ver = "1.0.2"

; Set a COM Error handler -- only one can be active at a time (see helpfile)
$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "MyErrFunc")
$AutoItBetaLocation = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt","betaInstallDir")
If $AutoItBetaLocation = "" Then
    $AutoItBetaLocation = FileSelectFolder("Select Folder where the Beta AutoIt is installed","c:\",4,@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\beta")
    If $AutoItBetaLocation = "" Then
        MsgBox(262208, "IE.au3 Error #1", "Autoit3 Beta is required   " & @CRLF & "Please download from www.Autoit3.com   ")
    ;Exit
    EndIf
EndIf
If Not FileExists($AutoItBetaLocation & "\Include\IE.au3") Then
    MsgBox(262208, "IE.au3 Error #2", "IE.au3 Library is required   " & @CRLF & "Please download from www.Autoit3.com   ")
;Exit
EndIf

#include <IE.au3>

Valuater · February 18, 2006

then how to handle the next line

$Program_2 = @TempDir & "\Temp.exe"

FileInstall("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\Autoit3.exe", $Program_2)

FileInstall requires a true path, not a variable

??

8)

GaryFrost · February 18, 2006

don't think you would need to do a fileinstall just

$Program_2 = $AutoItBetaLocation & "\Autoit3.exe"
;~ $Program_2 = @TempDir & "\Temp.exe"
;~ FileInstall(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\beta\Autoit3.exe", $Program_2)

greenmachine · February 18, 2006

You could even use the current script you're running (assuming it's compiled) as the AutoIt exe.
