New to thinBasic

[ostapas]

Good day,
I just recently stumbled upon thinBasic, so got a few questions. Is it possible to perform browser automation using thinBasic like in AutoIt?(e.g., click links, fill in web forms, extract data from web pages). Also, in Thin Air IDE "Tools" menu there is an option to compile code using MASM32, MASM64, RC, etc.) So I could't find out, how to use this option. I installed MASM32, but this menu is still disabled. Any help please? :)

Hi ostapas.

I'm sorry but it is not possible to interact with the browser using automation at the moment.

Regarding the IDE we are changing it a lot and there will not be support for anything that is not thinBasic.
Please check current thinBasic beta version at http://community.thinbasic.com/index.php?topic=3214.msg24069#msg24069

Ciao

In any case if you can drive me to where I can get help on AutoIt browser automation I can check and see what I can do in thinBasic.
An example, docs, ... whatever.

I already started something about that so maybe I can integrate what is missing.

If you install latest thinBasic beta (I gave link above) and check \thinBasic\\SampleScripts\UI\WebBrowser\ directory you will find few examples of what is already done. Plus check help for info about UIAdv module and WebBrowser... keywords

Thanks
Eros

Hi ostapas,

welcome to the forums.

Some browser automation can be done via COM module, please see my post here:
