Hi there

I have tried the solution offered at www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic19256.html

The thing is that the webpage is opened in a new explorer window and not in a new tab as I want. is there anyway to change this?

thanks

[Guest]

most likely - do you have an example?

Sorry if I am not clear , but I want to open a webpage (lets say Gmail) , and wait for it to load in order to continue and enter username&password. in order to do that I 've read the suggestion at www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic19256.html. I am trying to put the suggested lines in my script. The thing is that the explorer window is open in a new window, and not in a new tab (like pressing ctrl+t in explorer) which is what I want...

what should be my script stracture?, 1.gmail, 2.put the suggested script which makes it wait to load, and then 3. continue with another lines (enter username&password)?

I'm seeing 2 different questions, the first being how to open the webpage in a new tab rather than a new window. How are you opening this webpage? Clicking a link? Using th Run command? Are you using Internet Explorer & COM, as Sean's thread shows? What do you have so far for code?

well , I guess the confusion arrise mostly because I am not used to run this script. I have understand that in order to run a webpage and wait for it to load I have to run sean script ( just change the webpage adress in sUrl line at the begining of the script)...

so far I have loaded a webpage (google for example) by the simple command : run www.google.com. then a new tab in internet explorer (in an explorer window which was already opened) is loaded.

when I am running sean script , a webpage is loaded in a new explorer window... all i do is running this: (maybe I need to do something else?)

#Persistent
sUrl := "http://www.gmail.com"

COM_Init()
pweb := COM_CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
sink := COM_ConnectObject(pweb, "IE_")
COM_Invoke(pweb, "Visible", True)

bComplete := False
COM_Invoke(pweb, "Navigate2", sUrl)
While !bComplete
Sleep, 500

COM_DisconnectObject(sink)
COM_Release(pweb)
COM_Term()
Return

OnComplete:
bComplete := True
Return

IE_DocumentComplete(prms, sink)
{
If NumGet(NumGet(prms+0)+24) = NumGet(sink+12)
SetTimer, OnComplete, -10
/* more rigorous way
COM_Release(punk1:=COM_QueryInterface(NumGet(NumGet(prms+0)+24),0))
COM_Release(punk2:=COM_QueryInterface(NumGet(sink+12),0))
If (punk1 = punk2)
SetTimer, OnComplete, -10
*/
}

IEReady(hIESvr = 0)
{
If Not hIESvr
{
Loop, 50
{
ControlGet, hIESvr, hWnd, , Internet Explorer_Server1, A ; ahk_class IEFrame
If hIESvr
Break
Else Sleep 100
}
If Not hIESvr
Return """Internet Explorer_Server"" Not Found."
}
Else
{
WinGetClass, sClass, ahk_id %hIESvr%
If Not sClass == "Internet Explorer_Server"
Return "The specified control is not ""Internet Explorer_Server""."
}

COM_Init()
If DllCall("SendMessageTimeout", "Uint", hIESvr, "Uint", DllCall("RegisterWindowMessage", "str", "WM_HTML_GETOBJECT"), "Uint", 0, "Uint", 0, "Uint", 2, "Uint", 1000, "UintP", lResult)
&& DllCall("oleacc\ObjectFromLresult", "Uint", lResult, "Uint", COM_GUID4String(IID_IHTMLDocument2,"{332C4425-26CB-11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}"), "int", 0, "UintP", pdoc)=0
&& pdoc && pweb:=COM_QueryService(pdoc,IID_IWebBrowserApp:="{0002DF05-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}")
{
While, COM_Invoke(pweb, "ReadyState") <> 4
Sleep, 500
While, COM_Invoke(pweb, "document.readyState") <> "complete"
Sleep, 500
COM_Release(pweb)
}
COM_Release(pdoc)
COM_Term()
Return pweb ? "DONE!" : False
}

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say you're not experienced with COM, right?

Sean's example uses the DocumentComplete event; however, for simplicity, I'm going to use the ReadyState (or Busy - noted in comments) property. (if the previous sentence doesn't make sense right now, don't worry, it doesn't matter) Here is an example:

For some reason the above code doesn't work for me in IE7.

[MasterFocus]

Tested, works for me.
(IE8, WinXP)

I'm simply wondering why it wouldn't work on my machine/setup. Visible creates a blank IE. Navigate2/Navigate (for that 'identity') opens a 2nd window with a different object 'identity.' I can make it work, regardless. I was wondering why this doesn't work. It seems like it ought to.

[vista_player]

I have to cope with the same problem in vista, as I tried this... How do you get over this?

[jethrow]

See if this thread answers your question: running COM commands on vista
