Need clarification about WIN32OLE.new

[Raveendran Jazzez]

Hi All,

is it possible or not ?

Program:

require "watir"

ie = WATIR::IE.new
ie.visible=false
ie.goto("http://blahblah.com")

When i run this program initially

ie = WATIR::IE.new this line creating IE object. So i can able to see
that window.
After that only i can able to invisible the window.

But i want to create new ie window initially invisible mode.

My tries:


I tried to change the watir gem codings

//watir/ie.rb

def create_browser_window
@ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application'
end

I added a @ie.visible=false after
@ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application'. but it was not
working. so i decided to add code to WIN32OLE gem or plugin. But i
can't do it.


So simply my need is,

@ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application'

want to create a application in invisible mode.

Thank in Advance

ie.goto("http://blahblah.com")

Try this:

$HIDE_IE = true

ie = WATIR::IE.new
ie.goto("http://blahblah.com")

Hi Pettichord.

After a long gap i taken that task and finished it following way..


watir gem/new.rb

replace ie.visible = $HIDE_IE to ie.visible != $HIDE_IE


Thanks
