I have created a code that will open Internet Explorer, navigate to a site, prompt for credentials and a date range, and then save the data (theoretically) to a text file.
Everything works except for saving the data. When I click their export button, it pops up a new window that is untitled (so I can't focus on the window by name) and when I try to save it to a .txt file it saves the 1st webpage that is still focused, not the popup window.
How do I shift focus to the popup window/save the popup to a text file?
Unfortunately I can't provide much code, but here is the code I am using to save to a text file:
TEXT = objIE.Document.Body.InnerText
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile("Banorte.txt", 2, True)
ts.Write TEXT
ts.Close
Also, I don't have an option to download any software to help me with this. I am also not opposed to using a different language if need by, or call a separate script.
Thank you for taking a look!
------EDIT------
Here is some additional code, the site is banorte.com, this is the code that runs after I log in.
And by popup, I mean it opens up a new window in internet explorer, but it is not like a tab, that has a name and could be added to the parent window. It is a standalone.
objIE.Document.getElementsByName("btnEntrar").Item(0).Click
While objIE.Busy
WScript.Sleep 100
Wend
objIE.Document.getElementsByName("ctl00$Contentplaceholder1$btnConsultar").Item(0).Click
WScript.Sleep 5000
objIE.document.parentWindow.execScript "javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$Contentplaceholder1$grdCuentasCheques$ctl02$ctl00','')"
BEGDATE= InputBox("Please enter the beginning date DD/MM/YYYY:","Please provide additional info.")
objIE.Document.getElementById("ctl00_Contentplaceholder1_ucPeriodoFechas_WucFechaInicial_txtFecha").value = BEGDATE
ENDDATE= InputBox("Please enter the ending date DD/MM/YYYY:","Please provide additional info.")
objIE.Document.getElementById("ctl00_Contentplaceholder1_ucPeriodoFechas_WucFechaFinal_txtFecha").value = ENDDATE
objIE.Document.getElementsByName("ctl00$Contentplaceholder1$btnConsultar").Item(0).Click
WScript.Sleep 2000
Issue is after this command:
objIE.Document.getElementsByName("ctl00$Contentplaceholder1$btnExportarSaldos").Item(0).Click
Do Until objIE.readystate = 4
WScript.Sleep 10
loop
TEXT = objIE.Document.Body.InnerText
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile("Banorte.txt", 2, True)
ts.Write TEXT
ts.Close
objIE.Navigate "https://nbem.banorte.com/NBXI/Corporativa/Cerrar.aspx"
ObjIE.quit

I am trying to write a VBScript that opens Internet Explorer, navigates to a YouTube video, and then press the next button (the next button is show in picture).
Here you have my code:
Option Explicit
Dim msg, sapi, ie, shell, firstVideo
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Navigate "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VisBywjQuZU"
ie.Visible = 4
waitForLoad
ie.Document.GetElementsByClassName("ytp-play-button ytp-button").Item(0).Click
waitForLoad
ie.Document.GetElementsByClassName("ytp-next-button ytp-button").Item(0).Click
'waits for ie to be completely loaded
Sub waitForLoad
Do while ie.Busy
WScript.Sleep 200
Loop
End sub
As you will notice by playing the script, I am able to interact with the play/pause button without problems. But when it comes to the next button, vbs is just doing nothing.
How can I make this work?
For my job I often need to enter standard texts in an application to show which actions have been taken.
At a previous job I have been using a VBScript that I found that worked perfectly. What it does is open up an inputbox, you enter a number and the script runs the corresponding subroutine entering the text you requested.
Below you can find an example script of how it works.
In the past I used it in Windows XP, which worked perfectly:
I'm in my application, ready to input text.
I use a shortcut key to start up the VBScript, say CTRL-ALT-T
The inputbox opens
I enter a number
The inputbox closes and Windows XP automatically goes back to my application
The text is being put in the application
But Windows 7 has a slightly different task behaviour. When a window closes in W7, the previous window appears on screen but is NOT actively selected. As a result, the text is not being put in that window.
Is there any way to make the window actively selected?
I'm interested in a solution in VBScript form. But if someone happens to know a solution to change Windows 7's behaviour so it behaves like Windows XP concerning this issue, that would be interesting as well. I find the old behaviour much more convenient in general.
Here's a short example of the script:
'-----------------------------
'VBScript for inputting text
'-----------------------------
Option Explicit
Dim oFS, oWS, oWN, Shell
Set oWS = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oWN = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set oFS = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'-------
' Menu
'-------
Select Case InputBox ( _
"Enter type of comment, then press enter or click Ok..." & vbCrlf & vbCrlf & _
" [1] Text 1" & vbCrlf & _
" [2] Text 2", _
"Menu")
Case "1"
Call sub1()
Case "2"
Call sub2()
Case Else
WScript.Echo "You entered an invalid menu choice!"
End Select
Call CleanUp
'------------
' Subroutines
'------------
'------------------
Sub CleanUp()
Set oWS = Nothing
Set oWN = Nothing
Set oFS = Nothing
WScript.Quit
End Sub
'------------------
Sub sub1()
WScript.Sleep 500
Shell.SendKeys "Standard text 1{ENTER}"
End Sub
'------------------
Sub sub2()
WScript.Sleep 500
Shell.SendKeys "Standard text 2{ENTER}"
End Sub
I have found a simple solution which I have been using for a few days now without any problems. I added below code right after the beginning of each sub:
Shell.SendKeys("%{ESC}")
In the past I've used the script below to detect if an active window with the title "Remote Desktop" is or isn't active. If it isn't active the script will auto launch or make it active again.
Question: Is there a way to detect if a window is active and auto close it? I'm setting up a kiosk in chrome kiosk mode on a Windows 7 machine for our office. The main page launches a selected Google form in a pop-up window. The form confirmation page has the title "Thank You!" in the title bar. Is there a way for the script to auto detect this window and close it? This would be nice because the user would see that their response was submitted (for a second or two) but if they did not close the window it would not still be open when the next user goes to use the kiosk.
Another option might be if there is a way to use a Google script on the form to program the submit button to close the window. I'm not sure if that's possible.
Option Explicit
'On Error Resume Next
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Do
If (objShell.AppActivate("Window Title Here") = False) Then
objShell.Run "mstsc.exe " & chr(34) & "c:\scripts\Remote Desktop.rdp" & chr(34)
WScript.Sleep 5000
Else
WScript.Sleep 3000
End If
Loop
If the window I need closed is active and then the following script is ran the window will close. It's almost like I need to piece the top and bottom code here together to achieve what I need, but I'm not sure how.
Dim oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If oShell.AppActivate("Untitled - Notepad") Then
WScript.Sleep 500
oShell.SendKeys "%{F4}"
End If
I'm trying to find a script that will run on startup and wait for a window with a specific title to open and then close it once it is detected. It would be even better if I could control how long the window remains open once detected, but if I could just get it to close that would suffice.
I think I've found a good solution. I found this post and modified the answer. Does anyone see any issues with this?
' Will loop forever checking for the message every half a second
' When it finds the message it will close the window
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Do
ret = wshShell.AppActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
If ret = True Then
wshShell.SendKeys "%{F4}" 'ALT F4
End If
WScript.Sleep 500
Loop
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Do
ret = wshShell.AppActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
If ret = True Then
wshShell.SendKeys "%{F4}" 'ALT F4
End If
WScript.Sleep 500
Loop
The only trouble i see is the Alt+F4 will sequentially close windows until it will want to shut down windows itself. kinda makes me nervous even though this script will only detect the name you give it.
I tried the script and it works fine but what about using the escape key for certain windows?
The other thing i do not like is this is always running and taking resources. I slowed down the loop so it will at least be paused in the background most of the time..
I've read every question that came up when I typed my title, as well as several other web pages, and I still haven't found the answer I'm looking for. I believe this is fairly straightforward, just must be missing something as my program doesn't do anything.
Here's what I want it to do (for all practical purposes, let's say I'm searching for my favorite discussion here on SO):
Have the main SO page loaded (stackoverflow.com/).
Utilize the Open File (CTRL+O) feature of IE to enter the specific address of the page I'm looking for.
Utilize the Select All (CTRL+A) feature to highlight the entire text to be copied.
Utilize CTRL+C and CTRL+V to, respectively, copy and paste this into a word document for presentation purposes.
Here's the code I have so far:
' Sets up the objects.
Dim objIE, WshShell, objWord
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Set objWord = Application.CreateObject("Word.Application")
Dim i, strUserID
with CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
wshShell.SendKeys "^O"
.navigate "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/[link of question would go here]"
wshShell.SendKeys "^A"
wshShell.SendKeys "^C"
AppActivate ("Document1 - Microsoft Word")
wshShell.SendKeys "^V"
end with
For some reason, this isn't working the way I want it to. Any suggestions?
I tried making a script that should perform the following functions:
runs in background
focus moves to next tab if user press any key
run on windows platform.
I used the following code but its not working :(
Please correct me if I had made a error in code.
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim a
Do
a = WScript.StdIn.Read(1)
wshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
Loop
