How would it not be relevant? I'm using this for explorer windows, not for IE windows with tabs and it works fine there mostly.
The IEGet method should work for explorer after some customization, I haven't decided yet which one might work better. Hwnd method might be able to reach windows which incorporate a shell view? I'm not sure yet if that would be a pro or con. |

because the shellwindows collection is in the order created which has nothing to do with which one is active what is wrong with
| Code: | | hwnd:=WinExist("ahk_class CabinetWClass") |
which would get the top most file explorer window
there is no need to go thru the complexity of rifleing thru the shellwindows collection at all unless your later planning on using COM in which case you would want the already known via winexist hwnd to be compared with the other hwnd's in the shell collection so you may arrive at a proper pwb

That's exactly what I'm doing, sorry if I didn't make that clear.
I'm calling various COM functions like Navigate2, SelectFiles etc on the active explorer window. |

I noticed in my task manager that "iexplore.exe" stays open and munches up memory even if you use the COM_Invoke(pwb, "Quit") method, so I did some searching on the MSDN and found that I need to use the COM universal "Close" method as well to free up the resources used by the exited internet explorer object like this: | Code: | | COM_Invoke(pwb, "Close") |

I don't know much about the COM universal "Close" method, but are you using a different pwb (pointer) to close each WebBrowser Object? (pwb1, pwb2, pwb3 ...). Additionally, you could also use Process, Close.

I didn't get past step 1.
I downloaded the OCM.ahk, I didn't see anything to do on the page for Standard Library.
When I copy and paste the scripts and paste it into my address bar, while on the Forum Search page... I get nothing.
I guess I'll hit some of the other listed tut's that are linked on this page.
What am I doing wrong? |

Please read this. COM.ahk goes in your "Lib" folder; the path should be something like "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Lib"

So, when you are on the Search Forum page and enter the following code into the URL Address bar and hit enter, nothing happens? | Code: | | javascript: document.all.search_keywords.value = 'Input Value'; void(0) |
If so, what browser are you using? I have noticed that FireFox doesn't like all, but you could use: | Code: | | javascript: document.getElementsByName('search_keywords')[0].value = 'Input Value'; void(0) |

As tank said, no, firefox is not a COM object. You could use javascript injection though, something like this: | Code: | ClipBoard := "javascript: document.getElementsByName('search_keywords')[0].value = 'Input Value'; void(0)"
Send, !d^v{Enter} |

Wait a minute... Shoe leather taste better with salt on it... I guess I should open my eyes.
It worked as described. I'm an idiot, sorry  |

Can I use this/COM to automate the retreival of a webpage source by URL?
I have a URL to a dynamically built page, I want IE to open the window -in the background- and save the source to a file.
I was looking at this line:
text := COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.getElementsByTagName[TD].item[2].innerHTML")
But I'm not sure how to set up everything that wraps it. I just get an error...
Is there any way I could beg for an example? Thank you! |

Read some more and did this, but still get an error:
| Code: | com_init()
pwb := COM_CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
COM_Invoke(pwb , "Visible=", "True") ;"False" ;"True" ;
text := COM_Invoke(pwb, "document.getElementsByTagName[TD].item[2].innerHTML")
msgbox %text% |
'no com dispatch object'... what am I missing? |
