Here is the error i'm getting ... Specifically: busy The error shows busy is causing an issue - have you tried without busy ?

Well, you could get it by window title or webpage name/url (see WBGet & IEGet here ) ... ... or you could utilize the fact that that the new window should be the last item in the shell.application->windows collection. You could do this by getting the window count, clicking the link, waiting for ...

Doing COM would still create an excel instance - though it could be hidden. You might be better off writing to a CSV file, which should open by default in Excel.

Try the GetAddress method

See the all property. When in doubt, try the call in javascript. Any of the following are appropriate:

Functions are local by default.

AHK has some syntax designs that don't translate well into other languages. A good example is in AHK, the following 2 calls are the same: object.key object["key"] That being said, if you are focusing on web-scraping & tutorials, I'd highly recommend making your code easily translatable...

Try using KeyWait to make sure the modifier key (win key) is released before the send statement occurs.

Thanks for the info/examples ... that's pretty much everything I needed :) Here's another version, manually constructing the VARIANT instead of using a SafeArray ... This is slightly faster to access, but slower to create/destroy ... I hadn't even considered reusing the save variant structure (inter...

Here's an extended example using HTMLFile - thought this focuses more on having your AHK script respond to webpage events, rather than javascript responding to events & communicating with AHK: WM_KEYDOWN = 0x100 GoSub, GetHTML OnMessage(WM_KEYDOWN, "WM_KeyDown") Gui Add, ActiveX, w350 ...

Note that a lack of understanding on my part around variants & memory was one reason I put this project on hold - and at this point it's unlikely I'll finish the library.

... This seems to be the inevitable cost of clearness ... Also, the way I see it, This.Base.A or This.Base.Base.A are more descriptive related to the relationsship than a hard-coded class name. I'm not sure how much experience you have in OOP, or how far you plan to go, but I'd be curious to see if...

The problem can occur anytime the user is trying to change an instance object and accidentally uses a key of a class object. This would immediately affect all running instances relying on the class object. So, you're accessing a key from the base which holds an object, and you want that object to h...

The way I see it, instances should be able to overwrite keys/variables inherited by the base class for the instance only in either case, not only for non-object keys/variables. So, let's take Internet Explorer, for example. Say we have an object key , let's use the document object, that is defined ...

... even though .Base. is not specified? Instance.B does not exist, so it accesses the base key, which holds reference to an object. Then, it accesses the [1] key & changes it to True. I think you are misunderstanding variables vs objects . A variable holds reference to an object ... it isn't a...

Nope - if you provide a strait-forward question with a simplistic code example to demonstrate your point, I'd elaborate more. As a rule of thumb, though, objects don't get copied internally.

however the discussion is whether or not the small subset of command arguments that can accept expressions WITHOUT using the % (to force expression mode) should remain or not Do we have a list of these? Visual examples of where it wouldn't be desirable to require a % for expressions could help clar...
