Thanks, malcev. As others have complained of on StackOverflow, the supplied SeleniumBasic.chm file is corrupt. I didn't see any other API documentation in the folder.

Strange. For me this file works on both systems: Win7 and Win10.

Perhaps it's a question of encoding. I haven't tried with Win10 yet, but I will. Might I ask what codepage your system is?

Большое спасибо! As it turns out, I was able to open it from the command prompt with
I don't recall this happening before, that I had to do that, that is. Double-clicking a *.chm file generally opens the file for me. At any rate, thanks again, and the mystery is solved! And the file is very helpful indeed.

@gregster, did You ever use selenium wrapper for vba? And if Yes, where did You find this methods: AddExperimentalOption, ChromeOptions?
@daiweisc, preferences You can set with WebDriver.SetPreference Method.
@gregster, thank your reply soon, i will try it on Monday.
@malcev, thank your conclusion, i think it will be simple for use, but i am confused with WebDriver.SetPreference and WebDriver.AddArgument? what is the difference of WebDriver.SetPreference and WebDriver.AddArgument?

in Edge and Firefox ,I want to use the function of "ask where to save each file before downloading", just like Chrome code :
Code: Select all
prefs := """download.prompt_for_download"": True" ; or prefs := "'download.prompt_for_download': True"
options.AddExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs)
How to write the code in Edge and Firefox ?

@euras, read this topic from the start.
@daiweisc,
1) Code that You provided will not work.
2) Boolean value true in Com is not just "true" or 1, but ComObject(0xB, -1).
3) You can search for Edge and Firefox preferences by Yourself.

@Xtra
I'm using Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) version 18 and thats the problem because you can only download the drivers up to version 17, version 18 needs to be installed through the command window so I don't get an .exe-file that I could copy to the SeleniumBasic Folder.
That is my problem.
I already tried downloading the version 17 file. The .exe-file can be started without a problem but when trying to access that driver via AHK I still get a timeout message.
I can not use Edge well,how do you access the driver via AHK. I downloads the Edge WebDriver and copy it to the SeleniumBasic Folder. But it does not work.

How to Translate this:
Select oSelect = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("yy_date_8")));
oSelect.selectByVisibleText("2010");
to autohotkey to use with Selenium.
this code is for select a element from a listview
Thanks.

I was playing around with burque505's PDF code that he posted in 2019 and managed to dig up a way to take a screenshot of the page thanks to this wonderful StackOverflow answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60992134/seleniumbasic-vba-takescreenshot-element-outside-of-the-screenshot-error?r=SearchResults
Code: Select all
driver:= ComObjCreate("Selenium.CHROMEDriver") ;Select and Create Chrome driver instance
driver.setbinary("C:\Software\Chromium\chrome.exe") ;Sets path to custom Binary
driver.AddArgument("disable-infobars") ;Hides 'Chrome is being controlled by automated test software' message
driver.AddArgument("--start-maximized") ; Maximize Chrome Browser
driver.AddArgument("--disable-gpu")
;driver.AddArgument("--headless")
driver.get("https://www.startpage.com")
driver.executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete") ; wait until page loads completely before proceeding
;driver.Window.Maximize ; Maximize the window, not really necessary as chrome starts that way by default
savepath = C:\Users\%A_UserName%\Downloads\StartpageScreenshot.png
driver.TakeScreenshot().SaveAs(savepath)
run, %savepath% ; Open screenshot
Msgbox, Screenshot taken!
ExitApp

Thanks,
@Thoughtfu1Tux! Here's a version using
SChrome_Get by
@AHK_User with credits to
@tmplinshi,
@CH HAN and
@Joe Glines.
Code: Select all
#Include SChrome_Get.ahk
driver := SChrome_Get("https://chromium.woolyss.com/")
driver.AddArgument("disable-infobars") ;Hides 'Chrome is being controlled by automated test software' message
driver.AddArgument("--start-maximized") ; Maximize Chrome Browser
driver.AddArgument("--disable-gpu")
;driver.AddArgument("--headless")
driver.executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete") ; wait until page loads completely before proceeding
;driver.Window.Maximize ; Maximize the window, not really necessary as chrome starts that way by default
savepath = %A_ScriptDir%\ChromiumScreenshot.png
driver.TakeScreenshot().SaveAs(savepath)
run, %savepath% ; Open screenshot
Msgbox, Screenshot taken!
ExitApp
EDIT: Seems to work fine like this as well.
Code: Select all
#Include SChrome_Get.ahk
driver := SChrome_Get("https://chromium.woolyss.com/")
driver.executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete") ; wait until page loads completely before proceeding
;driver.Window.Maximize ; Maximize the window, not really necessary as chrome starts that way by default
savepath = %A_ScriptDir%\ChromiumScreenshot.png
driver.TakeScreenshot().SaveAs(savepath)
run, %savepath% ; Open screenshot
Msgbox, Screenshot taken!
ExitApp
RE-EDIT:
This scrolls the nav footer into view before taking the screenshot.
Code: Select all
#Include SChrome_Get.ahk
driver := SChrome_Get("https://www.amazon.com/")
driver.executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete") ; wait until page loads completely before proceeding
driver.FindElementById("navFooter").ScrollIntoView()
;driver.Window.Maximize ; Maximize the window, not really necessary as chrome starts that way by default
savepath = %A_ScriptDir%\ChromiumScreenshot.png
driver.TakeScreenshot().SaveAs(savepath)
run, %savepath% ; Open screenshot
Msgbox, Screenshot taken!
ExitApp
