Hi,

I'd really appreciate some help with automating IE with either WASP or
AutoIT (as a com object).



With WASP I can ( so far ):-

[1] Reliably retrieve the IE Window handle and activate it.
[2] Enumerate the controls Eg for Google.com :-
Handle Title
------ -----
2622466
3802162
2688236
5113172 Navigation Bar
1180754 Google - Windows I.
3278158 ITBarHost

Now, I take it 5113172 is the id of the search text/input box ? if so
how do I activate or select it? I reckon once It's activated using the
send-keys cmdlet should be straighforward enough? No problems sending
keystrokes into Notepad for example. I just can't seem to figure out
how to select controls in IE.

Using AutoIT as a com object seems fascinating..does anyone have any
sample scripts for that?

There also seems to be a dearth of documentation for AutoIT, all I
could find was a O'Reilly ebook, but that didn't contain any samples
for automating IE at all. Can anyone recommend any good learning
resources for AutoIT? I posted a couple of times on the forum over
there but couldn't get any more than 1 or 2 word "answers" :-(

Would be very grateful for any pointers. Thanks,

Stuart
