 |
|
I need to find a way for ahk to locate a text box on a web page and put the cursor there. There is only one text box on the page, but the location may change a bit based on what else is on the page, and would definately not be in the same spot for tab order every time.
Not sure if I am using correct term for text box, I mean a box where I would enter text on the web page.
Let me know if this can be done with AHK, thanks! |

I am not sure how I would do that, if it will work I would need more information on how. |

| Code: | #Persistent
SetTimer, WatchActiveWindow, 20
return
WatchActiveWindow:
WinGet, ControlList, ControlList, A
ToolTip, %ControlList%
return |
That code is from the AHK Help file. It displays in Real-Time the active windows Control's list.
Hope this helps

That won't help with web pages, since most (if not all) browsers don't use standard Windows controls (like Static or Edit.)
This could be done via COM + MSHTML for Internet Explorer, but it isn't what you'd call simple. It might be possible for other browsers using Active Accessibility. |
