Hi, I tweaked the code a little - auto highlighting. Kind of nice to be able to paste the selector without manually selecting an element.
If it's acceptable, I'll do the rest of the groups (only IE Browsing group for now).
All I did was use ControlFocus, Edit1, then Send, then send left arrows, shift down, right arrows, shift up. Not much to it. Below is sample code.

Code: Select all

tnav:
    GuiControlGet, sCurrentText,, MainEdit
    ControlFocus, Edit1
    Send, {End}`ntnav("https://www.google.com/",""){Left 20}{Shift Down}{Right 14}{Shift Up}
return

Excellent @burque505! :bravo:

To best honest: I was trying to do the same, but with Clipboard and Ctrl ^v but on button, it didn't work...

Great also the "to go to next line" and highlighting parameters ... Simple good trick I didn't know.
For sure is more than "acceptable", if you'll be kind to adapt it to other button I'll thank you again...

Neat,it's more convenient if you pack the examples within the github repo though.

Good though, CyLON! I´ll try to get up to speed with github so I can maybe fork it and do pull requests. Beyond me at the moment, though :facepalm:
Here's another attempt that gets rid of the problem with 'tsnap' and gets through the IE Browser and Chrome groups. I haven't tackled any of the scripts available from the menu, not sure if I should.

I'd recommend using messages to do this instead of sending arrows. Use EM_GETSEL after the button is clicked to get the caret position and then use EM_SETSEL with proper offsets of the current position to set the selection in the control.

EM_GETSEL
EM_SETSEL

Thanks, kczx3, that looks useful for other things I'm fiddling with also. I'll see if I can come up with something.
I notice from the docs that it'll work with Rich Edit controls, which will definitely be useful. It'll take me a while, no doubt, as I haven't yet made any significant use of messages (other than pasting in other people's code to my scripts).
Regards,
burque505

Edit: Using EM_GETSEL and EM_SET_SEL definitely works, but there is a lot more code.
I'm trying to split it up, so far I've got these sections that actually work. There is some flickering, but it does seem a little faster for sure. Probably worth it, even if I have to do it without functions.
By the way, pinvoke.net is another great place for constants. I should have thought to look there before. First category on the left.

Code: Select all

tnav:
    GuiControlGet, sCurrentText,, MainEdit
    ControlFocus, Edit1
    ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, Edit1, A
    VarSetCapacity(vPos1, 4), VarSetCapacity(vPos2, 4)
    Send, {End}`ntnav("https://www.google.com/","") ; {Left 20}{Shift Down}{Right 14}{Shift Up}
    SendMessage, 0xB0, % &vPos1, % &vPos2,, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;EM_GETSEL := 0xB0 ;(left, right)
    vPos1 := NumGet(&vPos1, 0, "UInt"), vPos2 := NumGet(&vPos2, 0, "UInt")
    nPos1 := vPos2 - 20
    nPos2 := vPos2 - 6
    SendMessage, 0xB1, %nPos1%, %nPos2%,, % "ahk_id " hCtl

return
This segment works fine, but it will require lots of cutting and pasting if I don't split it up into functions I can call. Maybe I'm better off just doing the cutting and pasting, though. Here it is with one function, at least :)

Code: Select all

tnav:
    GuiControlGet, sCurrentText,, MainEdit
    ControlFocus, Edit1
    ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, Edit1, A
    VarSetCapacity(vPos1, 4), VarSetCapacity(vPos2, 4)
    Send, {End}`ntnav("https://www.google.com/","") ;
    ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, Edit1, A
    VarSetCapacity(vPos1, 4), VarSetCapacity(vPos2, 4)
    SendMessage, 0xB0, % &vPos1, % &vPos2,, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;EM_GETSEL := 0xB0 ;(left, right)
    vPos1 := NumGet(&vPos1, 0, "UInt"), vPos2 := NumGet(&vPos2, 0, "UInt")
    nPos1 := vPos2 - 20
    nPos2 := vPos2 - 6
    SetText(nPos1, nPos2)
    
    ; ....
    
    SetText(startPos, endPos) {
    ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, Edit1, A
    VarSetCapacity(vPos1, 4), VarSetCapacity(vPos2, 4)
    SendMessage, 0xB0, % &vPos1, % &vPos2,, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;EM_GETSEL := 0xB0 ;(left, right)
    vPos1 := NumGet(&vPos1, 0, "UInt"), vPos2 := NumGet(&vPos2, 0, "UInt")
    nPos1 := startPos
    nPos2 := endPos
    SendMessage, 0xB1, %nPos1%, %nPos2%,, % "ahk_id " hCtl
}

return
So I tried to split it up still more, since that worked, but I'm creating a Frankenstein's monster. Obviously none of this is going to work outside the main script, but it does work.

Code: Select all

tnav:
   ; This first function was to be (hopefully something I can use at some point to shorten it.
   ; For now, I may end up just cutting and pasting the code that works.
   ; I think I've reached a point of diminishing returns.
    Prep1()
    Send, {End}`ntnav("https://www.google.com/","") ;
    ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, Edit1, A
    VarSetCapacity(vPos1, 4), VarSetCapacity(vPos2, 4)
    SendMessage, 0xB0, % &vPos1, % &vPos2,, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;EM_GETSEL := 0xB0 ;(left, right)
    vPos1 := NumGet(&vPos1, 0, "UInt"), vPos2 := NumGet(&vPos2, 0, "UInt")
    nPos1 := vPos2 - 20
    nPos2 := vPos2 - 6
    SetText(nPos1, nPos2)
    
    ;.....
    
    Prep1() {
    GuiControlGet, sCurrentText,, MainEdit
    ControlFocus, Edit1
    ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, Edit1, A
    VarSetCapacity(vPos1, 4), VarSetCapacity(vPos2, 4)
}
    ; ....
    
    SetText(startPos, endPos) {
    ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, Edit1, A
    VarSetCapacity(vPos1, 4), VarSetCapacity(vPos2, 4)
    SendMessage, 0xB0, % &vPos1, % &vPos2,, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;EM_GETSEL := 0xB0 ;(left, right)
    vPos1 := NumGet(&vPos1, 0, "UInt"), vPos2 := NumGet(&vPos2, 0, "UInt")
    nPos1 := startPos
    nPos2 := endPos
    SendMessage, 0xB1, %nPos1%, %nPos2%,, % "ahk_id " hCtl
}
    
    

return
I'm definitely open to all suggestions, this is new ground for me.

Thanks for comments, I'm not sure to anderstand (due to my poor english and also ahk knowledges)

@CylON: do you speak about examples of Gist.
@burque505: is there a way to add you as collaborator (and who is interested) on Github to make some release or fork ?(also on this I'm...limited)

Thanks, have a good night (sorry afternoon)

@burque505, fine! sure, all time you need, no emergency. I continue to work on it. After, if you want you, you could make any changes.
I really appreciate your effort. Also from all other people of this good forum :thumbup:

Yes,i tend to clone repos's that i find useful so it's more intuitive that way,and others can even contribute examples to your repo where as only you can post to your gist... & good morning to you...

@burque505 @kczx3 :
Thanks for your effort, then as @burque505 said
Using EM_GETSEL and EM_SET_SEL definitely works, but there is a lot more code.

At this point, isn't it quicker and shorter to use inputbox or some pretty cocobelgica's entryform ? :think:


@CylON: Good Idea! I created the repo with all examples: HERE :dance:

for example, some sites we have to do something like this to access elements in frames we cannot access directly via a pointer to the web browser... joe glines have excelent videos about this... the code looks like this:

frame := ComObj(9,ComObjQuery(pwb.document.All("WA1").contentwindow,"{332C4427-26CB-11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}","{332C4427-26CB-11D0-B483-00C04FD90119}"),1)
frame.document.getElementById("F_66").value := "User"


some mouse event that look like this
frame.rb89(evt := frame.document.getElementById("B_89"))
frame.rohk89()

I will send you the web site that I use this code via private message (it is a old code maybe it dont work anymore, as I use "findtext()" function to do the work... but ComObj is the "right way" :-D

@leosouza85,
ok I will add a TagIE function for that... Give me some days
I think it's possible also to record frames levels in iMacros. Then it could be much easier to pass it to tagIE with selectors already done. :P
