Antonio,

Sorry, but I can't get it to work. I always get error trying to do the :Submit()

I tried:
oActiveX:GetProp("Document"):GetProp("Forms"):Submit()
oActiveX:GetProp("Document"):GetProp("Forms")[0]:Submit()
oActiveX:GetProp("Document"):GetProp("Forms[0]"):Submit()
oActiveX:GetProp("Document"):GetProp("frm_test"):Submit()

And so many other variants, but no luck. Can you try it on your end?
Thanks!

To give you a hint, this is a working xHarbour sample:

Code: Select all  Expand view

PROCEDURE Main()

   LOCAL oIE

   oIE := CreateObject( "InternetExplorer.Application" )
   oIE:Navigate( "http://www.winfakt.be/form_test_1.htm" )
   oIE:Visible := .T.

   WHILE oIE:Busy
      SecondsSleep( 1 )
   END

   oIE:Document:Forms[0]:Submit()

RETURN

Patrick,

Please try it this way:

oActiveX:GetProp("Document"):Forms[0]:Submit()

Please try it this way:
oActiveX:GetProp("Document"):Forms[0]:Submit()

Works!!!
Damned!! Why did I forget to try just THAT one..

Thanks Antonio!

This is a brief explanation about the Class TActiveX that may help to other users too:

An ActiveX control is like another "visual" control, where events arrive, and has properties (GetProp(), SetProp() methods) and methods (Do() method).

The ActiveX control manages OleAuto objects, so when we do:

oDoc = oActiveX:GetProp( "document" )

oDoc is an OleAuto object. From that moment on, we can manage oDoc as we are used with OleAuto objects

Antonio,

oDoc = oActiveX:GetProp( "document" )
oDoc is an OleAuto object. From that moment on, we can manage oDoc as we are used with OleAuto objects

Yes, this is the trick! With oDoc we can do a lot of things now!

Thanks!
