Getting value from html button inside gui

16 Aug 2018, 10:04

This is what I got so far. I want to retrieve the value from a button when I press it. How should I go about doing that?

Code: Select all

#Singleinstance force

html=
(
<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html>
  <head>
   <style type="text/css">
    html {overflow:hidden}
    body {background:#AAAAAA;}
    .first {background: #AAAAAA; color: #111111;}
    .second {background: #111111; color: #AAAAAA;}
   </style>
  </head>
  <body>
   <button class='first' id='stuff' value='1'>Button 1</button>
   <button class='second'id='stuff' value='2'>Button 2</button>
  </body>
 </html>
)

Gui,Margin,0,0
Gui, Add, ActiveX, W400 H300 x0 y0 vdoc, HTMLFile
doc.write(html)
add_ButtonHandler()
gui, show
return

add_ButtonHandler() {
    global
    Loop % doc.getElementsByTagName("Button").length
        ComObjConnect(b_%A_Index%:=doc.getElementsByTagName("Button")[A_Index-1], b_%A_Index%.GetAttribute("Id") "_")
}

stuff_OnClick() {
    ;get the contents of the values from a button here
    MsgBox A
}

I'm glad I could help ;) Btw, I used the getAttribute method; its main advantage is that it does not notify of COM errors if the property could not been accessed, regardless the use of ComObjError. Also, note that I used event.srcElement, which is IE-specific (or, at least, I think). You can off course use alternatively event.target.
