I have a script that uses comobj to go to webpages, do some tasks for me and save data. I run it using Visible := False and if possible dont want to change that, if i have no choice well i have no choice.
It working mostly very good. Sometimes, I want to be able to click button and see if it stuck on page or what page it on etc.
Can i do something to show the ie window once the script already running?
Hopefully the smart ahk people are on here sunday too

wb.visible := true ... obviously you will have to add your COM object (name) instead of wb.
You could write this into a hotkey, if you wanted, so that you could make the IE instance visible if you would feel the need to - and add another hotkey (or make a toggle using the same key) to make it invisible again.

thats working out for me. I can finally see where things are holding exactly without guessing. My other choice was to leave it to True or built a gui that updates me what its doing and that would still keep me guessing and curious so your solution is best
