Opera Library!

[MrCreatoR]

Hi all,

I work a lot with Opera Browser, and in some point i decided to write an UDFs Library to manipulate the most common tasks for Opera.

Also because i am really tired from collecting pieces of functions/workarounds to do specific tasks.

I must say that i worked on this library only one week, my knowledge of Opera Browser is very rich, i started (a couple of years ago) to learn programming (Bat, VBS, and then AutoIt) only because of my love to this Browser!

The library can be downloaded from >archive on the forum.

            ToDo:
                            * Add UDFs:
                                _OperaFindHotkeyAction (search for hotkey by action)
                                _OperaFindActionHotkey (search for action by hotkey)

                                _OperaRemoveSkinIcon() -> Required 7zip/WinRar, or use system zipfolder.
                                _OperaItemGetType() -> Returns IsItem, IsCommentedItem, IsSeperator, IsCommentedSeperator, IsCommentedLine
    
            History Version:
                                v1.07 [04.Jun.2013]
                                + Added _OperaGetDownloadsDir function.
                                + Added _OperaGetSessionFiles function.
                                + Added global $i_Opera_SearchAllDrives variable to allow profile dir detection on other drives. Usefull when installed more than one OS.
                                + Added global $s_Opera_ProfileDir variable to specify custom profile dir (this variable should be empty if you need to use _OperaGetProfileDir).
                                * Fixed few functions to work better with new Opera versions.
                                * Fixed internal __Opera_GetOperaPageHandle function (used in public _OperaScreenCapture function).
                                
                                v1.06 [12.Jul.2012]
                                * Fixed _OperaGetDir function:
                                  - To be compatible with x64 system.
                                  - Changed/expanded parameters, now used $iFlag to determine the function behavior, see function header for more details.
                                * _OperaIsRuning function renamed to _OperaIsRunning. Old function name still supported.
                                * Renamed internal functions to __Opera_*.
                                
                                v1.05 [08.Jul.2012]
                                * Fixed _OperaGetTitle function, the title was incorrect if $sOpDir was specified and $iRet <> 2.
                                * Fixed __Correct_Opera_Path internal function to replace back slashes (/).
                                
                                v1.04 [26.Jun.2011]
                                * Fixed following functions to be more compatible with Opera 11.x:
                                  _OperaGetProfileDir
                                  _OperaMultiUserModeIsOn
                                  _OperaGetUserJSDir
                                  __Correct_Opera_Path
                                
                                * Fixed major bugs with recognizing Opera Dir (if $sOpDir parameter is passed as wrong Opera dir path).
                                * Fixed _OperaGetUserJSDir function (now working better with relative pathes).
                                * Renamed and changed _Opera_Integration_Example function. Now it's considered active function and named _Opera_Integration_Module.
                                * Changed _OperaSelectFolder function. Added new optional parameter $hParent.
                                * Changed _OperaAddMenuItem and _OperaRemoveMenuItem functions. Added new optional parameter $iBackup.
                                * Fixed _OperaAddMenuItem function. Encoding issues.
                                + Added _OperaGetCacheDir function.
                                + Added optional $iGetLastInstallPath parameter to _OperaGetDir function.
                                   If this parameter is 1, then function will try to detect the last installed Opera path, 
                                   instead of the path that Opera.exe was last time launched from.
                                
                                v1.03 [16.May.2011]
                                * UDF renamed to Opera.au3.
                                * Fixed _OperaScreenCapture function (now compatible with Opera 10.6, but still having an issue with capturing panels).
                                * Fixed few major issues with getting preference file's pathes.
                                * Fixed _OperaGetDir() function.
                                * Fixed _OperaGetProfileDir() function (errors when getting profile dir on multiuser mode).
                                * Changed _OperaFindDir function.
                                  - Now the $sInitPath parameter can accept pathes (delimited with "|").
                                  - Now -1 as second parameter ($iRetCount) tels to the function to return all found Opera dirs.
                                  - Also the function now works faster.
                                + Opera 10.6 support.
                                + Added _OperaToggleMenuItemState function.
                                + Added optional $sStandard_Name parameter to _OperaSetConfigFile function:
                                    If this parameter is a string (default is -1), then it's used as standard file name
                                    (instead of "standard_" & $sConfig_Prefix & ".ini").
                                
                                v1.02 [03.Jul.2009]
                                * Now compatible with AutoIt 3.3.0.0.

                                + Added _OperaScreenCapture() function...
                                    ATTENTION: supported only for v3.2.10.0 or higher, due to (lack of) callback support.
                                + Added _OperaAddMenuItem()/_OperaRemoveMenuItem() function.
                                * Fixed few function to read relative paths in opera prefs file.
    
                                v1.01 [5.Jan.2008]
                                * Now compatible with AutoIt 3.2.10.0.
                                * Variable names and spell corrections.
                                + Added 2 more UDFs:
                                                        _OperaRestart()
                                                        _OperaMultiUserModeIsOn()
    
                                v1.0 [28.Dec.2007]
                                * First Release.

P.S

If this library will be usefull to many of you guys, i would like to here a feedback here, because then i will ask from Dev Team to add this library as Standard UDF Library, to be included in the AutoIt3 installset - and yes, if neccessary, i will make all needed resources as mention in the User Defined Functions Standards.

Enjoy!

Yes, I know

Don't stop heare! I use only Opera Browser, and I think that Opera.au3 should be used insteed IE.au3. A simple test whith Opera and IE will show many things...

I don't study the Opera structure carefully, but if u can bring some au3 features, do it!(By the way, it is the only browser that let me do au3 things from my mobile phone!)

I used Opera Library in the scripts that call this _CryptIniSection function.

MsCreatoR if you would like to adapt it to be Opera-specific and/or

make changes for UDF compatibility and include it in your library that would

be fine with me. I added a couple of lines of error checking and reposted

the function:

_CryptIniSection

Hi, I glad that you find my library usefull, maybe i will add something similar to work with Wand/Cookies/Widgets etc. in the future. Thanks.

[MrCreatoR]

Hm, it seems that few posts in this thread was deleted?

[muncherw]

I haven't used this yet but I'm a huge Opera fan so I look forward to checking it out.

[JesseBarnett]

Hey Nice!!

I'm sure it will come in handy and it reminded me of the only sore point I have had with Opera the last couple of years. Soon as I finish up the script I am working on, I'll have to tackle a COOKIE MANAGER with Autoit!

[MilesAhead]

Just FYI, I tried to recompile a script I wrote using Opera_Library, with the latest AutoIt3

stable release and it flagged a couple of warnings and one error. Didn't like $SS_BLACKFRAME constant in

_Opera_Integration_Example() but adding #include <StaticConstants.au3> fixed it up.

Tried it since installing Opera 9.64 and the _OperaGetProfileDir() returns an error.

[MrCreatoR]

Update available!

ChangeLog:

v1.02 [03.Jul.2009]

• Now compatible with AutoIt 3.3.0.0.
• + Opera 10 support.
• + Added _OperaGetBookmarksFile() function.
• + Added _OperaScreenCapture() function...

  ATTENTION: supported only for v3.2.10.0 or higher, due to (lack of) callback support.

• + Added _OperaAddMenuItem()/_OperaRemoveMenuItem() function.
• Fixed few function to read relative paths in opera prefs file.

As you can see, this version was updated a few month ago, but i just wanted to make sure that it's working properly before i post it (since i use it my self )

@McCreator,

I am a new Opera convert after years of using Firefox. Your UDF looks fantastic. Is there a helpfile with examples that would help me use your UDF.

The thing I miss most about firefox is the ability to drag and drop a link so that it would open in a new tab (using the addon super drag n drop).

I can do this in Opera by enabling Drag=255 in [user Prefs]. Drag and drop will work many websites but not all (eg my.yahoo homepage).

Would your UDF be able to help with this? If not, have you found a workaround?

Thanks.

[picea892]

Dragging and dropping a link on the taskbar? That doesn't seem like a time savings. Why not just use the keyboard.

ctrl shift click to open link as background tab

shift click to open link as foreground tab

Even right clicking the link and selecting open as tab is faster than dragging a dropping.

Edited December 18, 2009 by picea892

[AdmiralAlkex]

Clicking on the link with the third mouse button (usually mouse wheel) is much faster than that. Press SHIFT+Mouse3 to change how the link should be opened.

[JackHammer]

Hi, is there any way to get the number of opened tabs in Opera? I tryed to use WinList() function, but it doesn't work with Opera younger then 10.50
