Hi.

Know that little icon that appears next to a websites name in your browser? for example the "H" logo when you goto www.autohotkey.com, i'm trying to figure out a way to retrieve that logo file or add it directly as a picture?

I've tried:

Code:

Gui, add, picture ,, www.google.com

Sorta already figured that that wouldnt work and it was abit more advanced that this, just really couldn't figure out where to start

If anyone would be able to point me in the right direction it would be much appriciated.

You can access the logo by using the Menu command to retrieve the icon from the AHK exe itself.

I'm sorry, dont think i made myself clear

I'm not looking for the "H" logo specificly, i'm looking for a general way to retrieve logos from different webpages.

Thanks though.

Following the statement of the wiki you can simply get a page with AHKs URLDownloadToFile and parse for the fav.ico destination link within its code.
Sample:

Quote:

afterwards you can do an URLDownloadToFile again

As long as you're sure of the path to server if the full path isn't specified the above mentioned should work. For autohotkey:

Code:

http://www.autohotkey.com/favicon.ico

Thanks alot for your quick responses. The wiki article was good, but i'm still lacking abit to get it to work

tried:

Code:

URLDownloadToFile, www.google.com, googlewebsite.html

But it didnt seem to download any file which i could then retrieve the path of the logo from?

Edit: tried saving in other formats aswell

Code:

URLDownloadToFile, http://www.autohotkey.com/favicon.ico, fisk.ico

Works just fine, but that requires already knowing the path to the favicon.

Here is sample code using the iWeb functions to return the path to the favicon if it exists on the page. It is tested for the sites shown but I can't guarantee it will work on all sites (requires the COM Standard Library and the iWeb functions):

Code:

errLvl=
site:="MSN.com" ; www.msn.com
; site:="Home | The Root" ; www.theroot.com
; site:="Retrieving logo/icon of homepage" ; http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=332509
iWeb_Init()
pwb:=iWeb_getWin(site)
Loop % COM_Invoke(pwb,"document.all.tags[link].length") {
  if (COM_Invoke(pwb,"document.all.tags[link].item[" A_Index-1 "].rel") = "shortcut icon") {
    fav:=COM_Invoke(pwb,"document.all.tags[link].item[" A_Index-1 "].href")
    errLvl=true
    break
  }
}
iWeb_Release(pwb)
iWeb_Term()
if !errLvl {
  MsgBox, 48, Warning, There is no icon available from this page.
  return
}
if !InStr(favico,"http") {
  ControlGetText, url, Edit1, % site
  RegExMatch(url,"is)http://[^/]+",m)
  MsgBox % m fav
  return
}
MsgBox % fav
return
