Get PID from _IECreate Instance? [Solved]

[ken82m]

Is it possible to get the PID of the process created by _IECreate

The page my script is going to sometimes triggers a MsgBox relating to MediaPlayer about upgrading some DRM licenses.

I get what I need and issue an _IEQuit but it won't close while that pop up is there.

Is it possible to get the PID so I can issue a ProcessClose() in case _IEQuite doesn't work?

Thanks,

Kenny

WinGetProcess(_IEPropertyGet($o_ie, "hwnd")) ?

Thanks

Based on your idea I just added this to my IE.au3 under _IEPropertyGet in case I need it again.

Case $s_property = "PID"; Added by Kenny - Based on HWND
   If Not __IEIsObjType($o_object, "browser") Then
      __IEErrorNotify("Error", "_IEPropertyGet", "$_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType")
      SetError($_IEStatus_InvalidObjectType, 1)
      Return 0
   EndIf
   SetError($_IEStatus_Success)
   Return WinGetProcess(HWnd($o_object.HWnd())); Will return 0 if PID was not found

Now I can just call

_IEPropertyGet($IE, "PID")

Thanks,

Kenny

Sorry to revive an old post but it help me almost do what I wanted to. Problem now is that it closes all IE Tabs including other IE windows that I have open. how can I get it to only close the tab or window that was created with _iecreate?

Thanks,

You can try with _IEAttach and _IEQuit() to close the tab.

I can get the pid and close ie using the below code but even if "Test" is in a seperate ie window all by its self the below code closes ALL ie windows and tabs. im looking to only close the tab or window with title "Test" in the webpage title.

#include <IE.au3>
$iepid = _IEAttach("Test")
$hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($iepid, "hwnd")
Local $pid = WinGetProcess(_IEPropertyGet($iepid, "hwnd"))
ProcessClose($pid)
