IEQUIT

[flyonthewall]

hello,

at the end of an install, a new ie browser launches to ask the end-user for their email address and to be notified of updates...

i only want to close this one ie browser in case they have several open.

The variable you gave the _IECreate(), just use that same variable in _IEQuit()

eg

$oIE=_IECreate("http://www.xobni.com/uninstalled?ver=1.6.3...6-B07F2DEC90A3}")
_IEQuit($oIE)

thanks for the reply

the variable _IECreate opens a new window, then _IEQuit closes the new window, but the

browser window that was launched from the install remains open.

hope that makes sense.

thank you again.

i'm still reading the help file, and searching as much as i can.

Since your script did not open the file, it has no way (at this point) of knowing which window to close.

If the page that opens has a specific name or text in the tile bar, you might be able to use WinClose()

Use the Autoit Window Info tool (Start|Programs|Autoit v3|Autoit Window Info) to look at it

thank you for the reply and the info.

i was trying WinWaitActive but did not know how to close...but this works just fine below:

If WinExists("Why did you uninstall? - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "") Then
    WinClose("Why did you uninstall? - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "")
EndIf

thanks again.

iexplore.exe is always the name of the process. If you want to close all the iexplore.exe processes just use some loop to check whether iexplore.exe still exists and terminate it. If you want to close only your new iexplore.exe process use the _IEPropertyGet($oIE, 'hwnd') call to get the main window's handle and handle it via Win* functions.

FYI, if you are only doing a single command in an if statement, doing the statement in a single line is slightly faster/more efficient.

$title = "Why did you uninstall? - Microsoft Internet Explorer"
If WinExists($title, "") Then WinClose($title, "")

A single iexplorer.exe or window (with tabs) can control multiple IE instances. Please see _IEAttach
