WinExists doesn't work

[fluflu]

Hello,

I'm trying to use WinExists on a web page but it doesn't work. I don't think the code is wrong because it works with other pages.

Is it possible that the web sites in blocking WinExists?

If yes do you have any idea to know if a world is present on the web page?

Have a nice confinement ^^

Hi @fluflu and welcome to the AutoIt forums
Which is the title of thr website you get?
Could you please post the code you used?
 

[fluflu]

Hi @FrancescoDiMuro, thanks for replying me!

it's a private portal.

Here is my code but again it works on other sites. The global aim of the code is to get notified when a word of the page is removed. I can't use any function that require the URL because i have to connect to the portal.

HotKeySet("!{x}", "_Exit")                       
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)                     ; This is to tell the script to only refresh the EXACT window, incase there are similar windows.
While 1 ;
Sleep(2000)                                   
  $title = WinGetTitle("Chrome", "")           
If WinExists($title) Then
  WinActivate($title)                          
  WinWaitActive($title)                       
  Send("{F5}")
  $BOOLtrouve = WinExists($title,"Présence")
  If ($BOOLtrouve="0") Then
      MsgBox(0,"","The word has desapeared!")
  EndIf

Else                                             ; This is an else statement to tell the script to do a different operation if the window is not running.
  Sleep(10)                                     ; Just a filler item to wait until the desired window is running.
EndIf                                             ; End the If statement to continue the script.
WEnd                                             ; Close the While LOOP
Func _Exit()                                     ; This is the function that is linked to the kill switch, ALT+X. It tells the script to perform the following actions.
Exit                                             ; In this case it is to close the entire program.
EndFunc                                         ; Close the function up.

@fluflu
Check the value of $BOOLtrouve before compairing it, so, adding a MsgBox() or a ConsoleWrite() will help you a bit

[fluflu]

the value is 0

@fluflu
Can't you access this Portal with Internet Explorer?

[fluflu]

Yes i can but it's gone be the same,isn't it?

I've tried the search part of my code without the refresh part and it works!

Spoiler

#include <StringConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

$title = WinGetTitle("Firefox", "")

If WinExists($title) Then
  WinActivate($title)                          
  WinWaitActive($title)                       
  $texte = WinGetText($title)
  MsgBox(0,"",$texte)
  $BOOLtrouve = WinExists($title,"Vous")
  If ($BOOLtrouve="1") Then
      MsgBox(0,"","Appel!")
  Else
      MsgBox(0,"","pas troivé")
  EndIf
EndIf

This is pretty weird.

Not really.
With IE UDF you could do something like this:

#include <IE.au3>

Global $objIE

$objIE = _IECreate("https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_IEPropertyGet.htm", 0, 1)

ConsoleWrite("Title of the tab: " & _IEPropertyGet($objIE, "title") & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Title of the Window: " & WinGetTitle(_IEPropertyGet($objIE, "hwnd")) & @CRLF)

_IEQuit($objIE)

Do a Sleep (5000) after refresh : Send("{F5}").  5000 may be too much, so test with different values...

[fluflu]

@Nine

I've tried that and it doesn't change anything

@FrancescoDiMuro

i don't understand your code, it just get the property of the titles... But I will try using _IEBodyReadText and then search my ord in the variable.

So to use the _IE fuctions I have to use internet explorer, right?

Yes
You have to be more precise about what you want to get from your script.
Is this text contained somewhere?
Button? Div?

[fluflu]

I want it to check if a particular word have disapeared or not. So its a loop where

1) i refresh the page

2)i check if the particular word is present on the page

[Nine]

Show the DOM where the word you are looking for appears

[fluflu]

@NineWhat's the "DOM"?

I've tried using IE but the portal doesn't allow acces on Internet Explorer

[Nine]

You right click on the word you are looking for, on the pop up menu, click Inspect.  That is the DOM, copy it and paste it here.  If you cannot use IE, you will have to use WebDriver

[fluflu]

<div class="alert alert-success">
                                Vous avez été noté présent le 17/04/2020 à 14h48                            </div>

 

@Nine Is it that?

Ok i will try with webdriver

[Nine]

Exactement fluflu.  You can read all tags with div and search for innertext that contains the word "Présent".  There is a learning curve to get accustomed to the UDF, but it is worth the effort, as you will have much more control over your browser.  Bonne chance.

[fluflu]

ok guys @Nine @FrancescoDiMuro I finally suceed it!!

All my problems only came from one line : Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3)

I read that it is to tell the script to only refresh the EXACT window, incase there are similar windows so this is why i have put it in my script.

Is it really for that? And if yes do u know what happened?

 

Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me!

have a great day guys

[Nine]

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3) means that the title of the windows must be exactly the same as what you have provided in the function.  It is also case-sensitive.  So either there were additional characters in the window title or it was not spelled correctly (case wise).  In other words, there was a mismatch between the string and the real window title.

@fluflu

Glad I could help, and have a good day you too
