IE new functions

[yehia]

hi all just wasted about 2 days to write down those functions

i was working on a program that have an IE object embedded and i had to go to MSDN to get some object methods and properties since there was no functions for what i wanned in the UDFs

and here is a list of what i came up with in the end :

_IEElementReplaceText()

_IEDocMoveElement()

_IEDocInsertElement()

_IEPopupCreate()

_IEPopupHide()

_IEFrameScrollTo()

_IEElementScrollIntoView()

_IEGetElementFromPoint()

_IEFrameSetPos()

_IEBodyFindText()

_IEElementSetBKColor()

_IEElementSetColor()

_IEWindowExists()

_IECheckOnline()

_IEElementSetCursor()

maybe more to come but i don't think so

anyway if i saw someone interested in this maybe i will create some examples

please make a comment if you think this helps

hope this helps all

Edit: updated a function and posted the code after applying the error check system

IE New.au3

There is absolutely no error checking.

[dantay9]

I agree totally. For this to be added to the current autoit version, you have to error check the functions. The dev team will not do it for you. Regarding your script, some of these functions could prove potentially useful.

Looks like good addition.

Go and finish this so it can be added to standard IE UDF.

[yehia]

sure i will do it, but should i use the same error debug variables in the main IE UDFs doc or it would be ok if i created new ones?

and thanks all for the responses

[dantay9]

It would be best if you used the current variables in your UDF, but many people have used their own variables. I would try to use as many of the current variables as you can without changing how they work. If you need to create another variable to check for another error, do that. It is better to have more variables and error checking than no error checking at all.

[yehia]

ok added error check to my functions using the same error flags that was used on the old IE functions

and examples r coming ...

[techbard]

Hey... Nice Works!!!

I'll try it.

[bo8ster]

Good work there. I recommend you get DaleHohm to look at them. If he is happy with them you have a change to get them added.

Hi,

Have you an idea on How to automate Input type=file with IE8, Dale find a solution for IE 7 or IE6 but this solution is not applicable with IE8 because of security prevention.

Thanks

[yehia]

thanks all

@ LOULOU r u talking about the value property?

if so i have IE 8 beta and it works, u can manipulate the value

anyway to test this the property is named value so all u have to do is get an element then $element.value = "your value string"

and i guess there is another way through textrange elements but so far i only managed to use body text elements only

Edit: oh and one more way you can set the mode of IE8 to work under a lower version mode like IE7 and 6

Try to automate an Input type = file , and try to assign a value in the texte zone where you chose the name of the file , and you will see it is impossible due to security restriction, what i find is a way to bypass this problem

[yehia]

yes LOULOU change the mode to any previous version and there will be nomore security restriction

once more thats right from MSDN

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535128(VS.85).aspx

Internet Explorer 8 and later. When a file is selected by using the input type=file object, the value of the value property depends on the value of the "Include local directory path when uploading files to a server" security setting for the security zone used to display the Web page containing the input object.

The fully qualified filename of the selected file is returned only when this setting is enabled. When the setting is disabled, Internet Explorer 8 replaces the local drive and directory path with the string C:\fakepath\ in order to prevent inappropriate information disclosure.

To illustrate, suppose you attempt to upload a file named C:\users\contoso\documents\file.txt. When you do this, the value of the value property is set to c:\fakepath\file.txt.

Hi, Loulou !

an idea on How to automate Input type=file with IE8?

Cet exemple de code fonctionne (pour moi):

$ie = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
$ie.Navigate("file: ///L:/miniedit_tst3.htm")
$ie.Visible=1
Sleep(1024)  ;wait for full load 
inputfile('champinput','C:\fichier.dat')
Exit

Func inputfile($id,$filename)
   $ie.Navigate("javascript: document.getElementById('"& $id &"').click();")
   Sleep(1024) ;wait depend of computer's speed 
   Send($filename)
   ;Sleep(1024)  ;wait only for user see the filename sended
   Send("{ENTER}")
EndFunc

Ne pas oublier de changer l'URL, ni de mettre le bon ID de l'input, et de choisir un nom de fichier existant.

In IE8, the input type=file text box is read-only. You can't even type into it with the keyboard. They long ago disabled the ability to set the value with script. You need to click on the associated "Browse..." button and automate filling in the file selection popup box with standard Win* functions.

You are right. But, if you want use the Autoit's IE-library (#include <IE.au3>), it not will run. Because _IEAction($inputobj, "click") wait the end of the dialog box.

My exemple of code run ok, but because it do not wait, after the click.

Like this:

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IE_Example("form")
$oT = _IEGetObjById($oIE, 'fileExample')
MouseMove(_IEPropertyGet($oT, "screenx") + _IEPropertyGet($oT, "width") - 10, _
          _IEPropertyGet($oT, "screeny") + _IEPropertyGet($oT, "height")/2)
MouseClick("left")
WinWait("Choose File to Upload")
$hChoose = WinGetHandle("Choose File to Upload")
ControlSend($hChoose, "", "Edit1", "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT")
ControlClick($hChoose, "", "Button2")

Dale

[Zedna]

Instead of 

ControlSend($hChoose, "", "Edit1", "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT")

is better

ControlSetText($hChoose, "", "Edit1", "C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT")

especially for non English enviroments with special accented characters in path

[yehia]

dalehohm its nice to see you here and thanks for your replies

can you take a look on the error checking in the functions to tell me if i did it right?

thanks alot

and 1 week for examples
