I just wonder ??

I just wonder ??

If I create an IE instance,

Thus

Set oIE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application", "IE_")



Is there an "oIE." variable that I can set to Affect/Control the
"Magnification Factor" (percentage at the bottom right of the IE window
that is eventually created)


Does anyone know about this please ??

Dear Pete,

The Subject of a post is meant to be a very brief summary of the contents of
the post, in order to attract the right respondents. You have just won the
2009 prize for the most meaningless Subject line. Can't beat this one!

This might help:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...94(VS.85).aspx

There are screen properties deviceXDPI and deviceYDPI which you might be
able to use. I think this requires at least IE 7.

Someone also called James used "Help" for a subject line on August 20;
surely these two are in a close tie.

I have done a little investigating (still ongoing)
BUT
It looks to me, at the moment, like deviceXDPI, deviceYDPI, logicalXDPI and
logicalYDPI are all 'Read Only'.

BUT IF
Anyone has any working scripts that prove otherwise, I would be very grateful
if they could provide a snippet.

I note you warning and am only really interested in using it for IE8

The good, but second best, thing is that I can detect the Scale Factor in
JavaScript and advise the user to change it !!

Thanks
