 Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2008 8:00 pm Post subject: Help with using COM |
 |
|
I have found the COM function that I need to retrieve a url from IE here:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19255&highlight=locationurl
I can't figure out how to just get the URL of the currently active IE window.
Something like this: (does not work)
| Code: |
COM_Init()
pwb := WinExist ("A") ;<---- pretty sure this is wrong
CurrentURL := COM_Invoke(pwb, "LocationURL")
Msgbox, %CurrentUrl%
return
|
I've looked around for a definition of "pwb" but couldn't find one. a search with COM in it turns up a LOT of results (mostly scripts using yahoo.com or google.com for examples)
I have the list of COM functions, just need to know what to pass to them to get them to work  |

Isn't it just WinExist() without parameters?
I'm not sure..

fron the manual:
 | Quote: | | The function WinExist() returns the Unique ID (HWND) of the first matching window (0 if none). Since all non-zero numbers are seen as "true", the statement if WinExist("WinTitle") is true whenever WinTitle exists. |
WinExist("A") will retrieve the HWND of the active window.
My problem is COM_Invoke wants something other than a HWND in the pwb variable, I don't know what it does want though. thanks for the effort though  |

I rewrote sean's example:
| Code: | COM_Init()
psh := COM_CreateObject("Shell.Application")
psw := COM_Invoke(psh, "Windows")
Loop, % COM_Invoke(psw, "Count")
{
pwb := COM_Invoke(psw, "Item", A_Index-1)
; note here the wnd of Item[A_Index-1] is found
wnd := COM_Invoke(pwb, "hWnd")
sInfo .= COM_Invoke(pwb, "hWnd") . " : """ . COM_Invoke(pwb, "LocationURL") . """,""" . COM_Invoke(pwb, "LocationName") . """,""" . COM_Invoke(pwb, "StatusText") . """,""" . COM_Invoke(pwb, "Name") . """,""" . COM_Invoke(pwb, "FullName") . """`n"
COM_Release(pwb)
}
COM_Release(psw)
COM_Release(psh)
COM_Term()
MsgBox, % sInfo
Return |
I don't know which window id but my point is that pwb is returned from the iteration on windows in shell.application and that you dont invoke "locationurl" with a window id.

; ask the OS COM to create a named object Shell.Application
psh := COM_CreateObject("Shell.Application")
; call the function named Windows on the created object
; presumable this returns another new created object
psw := COM_Invoke(psh, "Windows")
; loop for all windows (get the count by calling the count function on the windows object
Loop, % COM_Invoke(psw, "Count")
{
; create an object representing the a_index-1'th item by calling the function Item with an index on the windows object
pwb := COM_Invoke(psw, "Item", A_Index-1)
