Hello all, Need info from two IE windows at same time.

First post, tried several searches of forum and on google with little success.

I need to have the script open IE window for say www.google.com and then open a new IE window for www.yahoo.com. How can this be done? Do I need to study the Group sections? code would be:

run, www.google.com
; do some stuff here
run, www.yahoo.com
; do other stuff here with both windows still active using winactive to switch between the two.

What I get now is Yahoo open in the same window Google was in.

Hopefully I've described my desires in a manner easily understood. Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

dj

To open a new Internet Explorer thread, use iexplore.exe before the URL.

Another question, if i run this skript

2 iexplorer windows will open.
Does anybody know, how i could get them opening in the same window?

Although I don't understand how or why you would want them to open in the same browser window, there is a setting in MSIE's Tools > Options > Advanced for reusing existing browser windows.

I found the setting, changed it, but it doesn`t change the behaviour of the InternetExplorer. If I start the explorer from AHK, I will get a new window each time. Had a look at the DDE but dont know how to use it the correct way.
I will have a look at it next week. Thought, i could use this way to change a Webpage in the explorer, but it seems to be less reliable than changing the adress directly with a controlsend to edit1.
