Help me. How to open a new IE window?

[angel]

Hi

I want python(win32com ) to open a new IE window.
Source is:
/******/
import win32com.client
msie = win32com.client .Dispatch("Inte rnetExplorer.Ap plication")
msie.Visible = 1
msie.Naviagte(http://www.python.org)
/******/
The problem is the program always grabs a existed IExplorer window or
Explorer window. It never opens a new window.

Please help me. Thanx
Victor

I ran into that same problem. Try this:

msie = win32com.client .DispatchEx('In ternetExplorer. Application.1')

It seems to work for me.

Hi. Perhaps you may want to check out the webbrowser module:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import webbrowser as browser
>>> browser.open("w ww.python.org", new=True)[/color][/color][/color]

OR
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> browser.open_ne w(url)[/color][/color][/color]


OR
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> IE = browser.Windows Default()
>>> IE.open_new(url )[/color][/color][/color]


HTH,
Sean

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open _new("www.pytho n.org")

it will work fine with IE (if IE is the default browser)

I guess the OP didn't specify, but the above won't work if you need to control
the browser from then on (which is what I assume he was trying to do by
obtaining an IDispatch pointer to it).

Here is how you do it:

Here is a quick way to do it but it works!
If you want to learn more go to pamie.sourcefor ge.net
This has a class file that helps you automate I.E.

# DispatchEX allows you to open a new window

from win32com.client import DispatchEx

import time

def wait(ie): # very important!!! you have to wait for each page to load
"Given an IE object, wait until the object is ready for input."
while ie.Busy: time.sleep(0.1)

doc = ie.Document
while doc.ReadyState != 'complete': time.sleep(0.1)
return doc

def ClickLink(ie, mylink):
#hrefs = []
for link in ie.Document.lin ks:
if link is None: break # needed for browser bug

if link.innerText == mylink:
link.Click()


# Here is what you need
ie = DispatchEx('Int ernetExplorer.A pplication')
ie.Visible = 1
ie.Navigate ('www.python.or g')

# Some extra
wait(ie)# Very Important!
ClickLink(ie,'S earch')


#later
