COMate - control COM objects via automation - OBSOLETE!

Kwai, it works fine here if I remove the 'https' business.

The following mixes your code with some previous COMate code and runs fine here with both the webgadget and an IE instance.

I think this confirms that it is indeed an 'access denied' problem that you are experiencing for some reason.

I just download tailbite and tried to create COMate as lib but get an error:

undefined symbol 'COMate_COMate_Class_Invoke"

What can i do?

Thanks

Kwai chang caine · Post by **Kwai chang caine** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 4:30 pm

but if you want to send the webgadget to navigate, dont need to wrapp the webgadget

Hello RICARDO glad to call you

But if i don't Wrap the WebGadget....how can i use it after with the "ExecuteJavaScript(Command$)" procedure ???? :roll:

Don't use Tailbite!

Why would you want to Tailbite this library; surely in source code form it is just as convenient, if not more so?

Must admit that I have not kept up with any Tailbite / user-lib issues because I will no longer use closed libs other than dll's so I can't really comment on what might be wrong here.

Just add srod's procedure

Code: Select all

Procedure.i ExecuteJavaScript(Gadget, command$)
  Protected browser.COMateObject, documentDispatch.COMateObject, script.COMateObject
  Protected result
  browser = COMate_WrapCOMObject(GetWindowLong_(GadgetID(gadget), #GWL_USERDATA))
  If browser
    documentDispatch = browser\GetObjectProperty("Document")
    If documentDispatch
      script = documentDispatch\GetObjectProperty("script")
      If script
        result = script\Invoke("eval('" + command$ + "')")
        script\release()
      EndIf
      documentDispatch\Release()
    EndIf
    browser\Release()
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure

And us your webgadget as usuall

I want to Tailbite it because, in first place i can then code and run unsaved stuff, just for testing.

And even if i save it, i always have to carry and reference the XIncludeFile "COMate.pbi", a lib is much more comfortable for me.

I understand your point about opensource libs, but creating the lib is just for more handly managment of people born in latin countries

Otherwise i need a new PB Command to overwrite

Code: Select all

IncludePath "..\"
XIncludeFile "COMate.pbi"

by

Code: Select all

IncludePath "I dont remember where it is!!!"
XIncludeFile "COMate.pbi"

Yes probably

But that when even strange this history that why the webgadget is different of IE client :roll:
Because, i believe, it's exactly the same motor no ??

In the same time i try to convert a VB code to PB.
But obviously i can't, it's a mass murder

I try to use directly the COM to pilot IE, for see if i can around my problem

This is my cowpat

Code: Select all

IncludeFile "COMate.pbi"

Define.COMateObject WebObject 
Global HTTPObject.COMateObject 
Global HTML_Txt_Search.COMateObject 
Global HTML_Form_Search.COMateObject 

HTTPObject = COMate_CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

If HTTPObject 
 
 HTTPObject\SetProperty("Visible= #True") 
 HTTPObject\invoke("Navigate('http://www.Ebay.fr/')") 
 HTML_Txt_Search\invoke("Doc.All.Item('satitle')")
 HTML_Form_Search\invoke("Doc.Forms('headerSearch')")
 
 While status$ <> "Terminé"
  Status$ = HTTPObject\GetStringProperty("StatusText") 
  Delay(10)
 Wend 
 
 HTML_Txt_Search\SetProperty("Value=PureBasic")
 HTML_Form_Search\SetProperty("submit")
 
 
 HTTPObject\Release() 
 
EndIf

And this is the VB code

Code: Select all

Option Explicit

Private Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long)

    End If
End Function

Private Sub IE_DownloadComplete()
Dim Doc As IHTMLDocument2
Dim nCount As Integer
    If IE.LocationURL = "http://www.ebay.fr/" Then
        SetWindowPos Me.hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOACTIVATE Or SWP_SHOWWINDOW Or SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE
        
        Set Doc = IE.document
        
        On Error Resume Next
        nCount = Doc.All.Item("satitle").length
        On Error GoTo 0
        
        If nCount > 1 Then
            Set HTML_Txt_Search = Doc.All.Item("satitle").Item(0)
        Else
            Set HTML_Txt_Search = Doc.All.Item("satitle")
        End If
        Set HTML_Form_Search = Doc.Forms("headerSearch")
        
        Btn_Search.Enabled = (Not HTML_Form_Search Is Nothing) And (Not HTML_Form_Search Is Nothing)
        Txt_Search.Enabled = Btn_Search.Enabled
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Txt_Search_Change()
    HTML_Txt_Search.Value = Txt_Search.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Btn_Search_Click()
    HTML_Form_Search.submit
End Sub

Thanks SROD
Like the GODS.....can you show me the way

Kwai chang caine · Post by **Kwai chang caine** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 5:15 pm

I don't know if that can help you, but i have simplify at the maximum the VB code.
My mind is good, by the COM, the private job site works fine with this code

Code: Select all

Private WithEvents IE As InternetExplorer
Private HTML_Txt_Login As HTMLInputElement
Private HTML_Txt_Pass As HTMLInputElement
Private WithEvents HTML_Form As HTMLFormElement

Private Sub Form_Load()
 Set IE = New InternetExplorer
 IE.Visible = True
 IE.navigate "https://SitePrivate/index.jsp"
End Sub


Private Sub IE_DownloadComplete()
 
 'Dim Doc As IHTMLDocument2 <--- that's works with or without this line
 Set Doc = IE.document
       
 Set HTML_Txt_Login = Doc.All.Item("name")
 Set HTML_Txt_Pass = Doc.All.Item("pass")
 Set HTML_Form = Doc.Forms("theform")
 
End Sub

Private Sub Btn_Search_Click()
 HTML_Txt_Login.Value = "xxxx"
 HTML_Txt_Pass.Value = "xxxx"
 HTML_Form.submit
End Sub

Kwai, for once we agree, that translation of yours certainly is a cowpat!

I could translate for you, but I can't be bothered right now - I'm simply too busy! Perhaps someone else will do it for you? To be honest, with all of your COMate experience now, you should be able to translate that quite quickly.

SFSxOI · Post by **SFSxOI** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 10:34 pm

This seems to work:

Code: Select all

index= objCollection\GetIntegerProperty("Add(" + Str(objItemColl) + " as COMateobject)")

The 'as COMateobject' was the secret. I had done GetIntegerProperty once before but never even thought about the 'as COMateobject'.

Thanks srod

Only way of passing a COM object which has been wrapped up in a COMate object!

If you can say right......

I so much like, give to you the true mind

But a gravel for you is a rock for KCC

When you are come great like you....i understand it's so difficult for you to understand my difficulty.
How a runner champion, can be understand, the baby who just be born when he can't just walking

Perhaps someone else will do it for you?

Perhaps ......i begin to pray

Our father who is in the sky, that your name is sanctified...

I could translate for you, but I can't be bothered right now - I'm simply too busy!

Never mind....I don't know your are so busy

I never want disturb you, never never

Your works is more important...you are right

You give us so much already

I wish you a good day

Okay, I have tested the following on a non-https site (the PB forums as it was!) and it works fine :

Code: Select all

IncludePath "..\"
XIncludeFile "COMate.pbi"


Global IE.COMateObject, HTML_Txt_Login.COMateObject, HTML_Txt_Pass.COMateObject, HTML_Form.COMateObject

;Returns #True if successful.
Procedure.i Form_Load()
  Protected result = #False
  IE = COMate_CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") 
  If IE
    IE\SetProperty("Visible= #True") 
    IE\Invoke("Navigate('https://SitePrivate/index.jsp')") 
    
    While Status$ <> "Done" 
      Status$ = IE\GetStringProperty("StatusText") 
      Delay(10) 
    Wend 
    result = #True
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure


;Returns #True if successful.
Procedure.i IE_DownloadComplete()
  Protected result = #False, doc.COMateObject
  If IE
    doc = IE\GetObjectProperty("Document")
    If doc
      HTML_Txt_Login = doc\GetObjectProperty("All\Item('name')")
      If HTML_Txt_Login
        HTML_Txt_Pass = doc\GetObjectProperty("All\Item('pass')")
        If HTML_Txt_Pass
          HTML_Form = doc\GetObjectProperty("Forms('theform')")
          If HTML_Form
            result = #True
          EndIf
        EndIf
      EndIf    
      doc\Release()
    EndIf
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure


Procedure Btn_Search_Click()
  If HTML_Txt_Login And HTML_Txt_Pass And HTML_Form
    HTML_Txt_Login\SetProperty("Value = 'xxxx'")
    HTML_Txt_Pass\SetProperty("Value = 'xxxx'")
    HTML_Form\Invoke("submit")
  EndIf
EndProcedure


Procedure TidyUp()
  If HTML_Txt_Login 
    HTML_Txt_Login\Release()
  EndIf
  If HTML_Txt_Pass
    HTML_Txt_Pass\Release()
  EndIf
  If HTML_Form
    HTML_Form\Release()
  EndIf
EndProcedure

Note the TidyUp() function!

If it doesn't work on your https site(s) then I'm afraid that you are on your own.

Oooohhhh my dear SROD

You are so sweet for me

It's true i don't want to take so much your time

Then KCC have create a new THREAD, like you have say to him, for ask help with another member of forum

http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=36715

I don't know ....but perhaps a new idea of somebody :roll:

Really i thanks you, for your kindness with the poor KCC.

I'm confused, but i don't works today.
KCC is unnerve because he can't try your splendid code

But monday, KCC run at his works, and fall in the staircase, don't say hello at "nobody", fall on his computer, and the first thing he test, it's your code

I thanks you very very much.
And i wish you a very good week end

Works good for to be again more intelligent .....if it's possible obviously :roll:

Your Personal IDIOT, who love you
KCC
