Guest Ryan Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi All, Yet another Noob on the forums. AutoIT has been great. I'm not sure of the limitations of this great platform, but I'm hoping to get some tips from the experts on the possibility of automating a windows update. (Yes, I know I could use SUS, but right now that's not an option). I read through the forums and saw post asking how to tell if a webpage was finished loading - Larry had suggested using a While loop checking the text of the Status bar. Unfortunately, when I run WinUpdate, it doesn't always report the corret text in the status bar. Another suggestion in that post was to use the PixelGetColor function to see if the page stopped loading by looking at the color of the "Stop" icon in IE. Yet another problem - for some reasons, even when pages are finished loading, the Stop button never changes color... I've also tried using the WinWait function and wait until it sees a specific piece of text on the webpage, but this doesn't seem to work either... (I'm guessing it can't look for HTML text?) Any ideas on how to get this working? Here's my bit of code: expandcollapse popup$MSWIN="http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp" Run ('explorer.exe '& $MSWIN) WinWait("Microsoft Windows Update - Microsoft Internet Explorer") WinSetState ( "Microsoft Windows Update - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) ;This was Larry's suggestion... $nSure = 0 While $nSure < 80 If StatusBarGetText("Microsoft Windows Update - Microsoft Internet Explorer") == "Done" Then $nSure=$nSure+1 Else $nSure=0 EndIf Wend Sleep(4000) ;This was another forum member's suggestion... ; $pixcolor = PixelGetColor(145, 68) ; MsgBox(0,"The decmial color is", $pixcolor) ; While $pixcolor = 79103 ; Sleep(1000) ; WEND Send("+{TAB 6}") Send("{ENTER}") Sleep(12000) Send("+{TAB 5}") Send("{ENTER}") Sleep(8000) Send("{TAB 26}") ;Send("{ENTER"}) WinWaitActive("Microsoft Internet Explorer") ControlClick("Microsoft Internet Explorer", "", "Button2") Send("!{F4}") ;Finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
