Handle pop-up windows in internet explorer

[evdokimos]

Hi all
I have the following macro that opens a site then click on a button to customize search. When it is executed, a new window is opened to tick some boxes. I want to tick all boxes but I don’t know how to do it programmatically. I search similar cases but I couldn't find an answer. Any ideas?

Sub OpenSite()
Set IE = New InternetExplorer
Set objHTML = New HTMLDocument
apiShowWindow IE.hwnd, SW_MAXIMIZE
URL = "http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=art&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=3&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50"
With IE
.navigate URL
.Visible = True
While .Busy Or .readyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
Wend
Set objHTML = .document
DoEvents
End With
Set ButtonIE = IE.document.getElementById("custLink")
ButtonIE.Click
End Sub

You first need to reference the new IE window, using one of the following methods:

1. Loop through Shell.Windows looking for the IE window with some attribute which matches the one you're looking for, e.g. IE. LocationURL, IE.LocationName, IE.Document.Title, etc.

2. Loop through SHDocVw.ShellWindows (SHDocVw is the library which contains the InternetExplorer class), looking for the IE window with some attribute which matches the one you're looking for, e.g. IE. LocationURL, IE.LocationName, IE.Document.Title, etc.

3. Use a class module with Public WithEvents IE As InternetExplorer, and trap the NewWindow2 event.

Once you have an object reference to the new IE window, you can reference the HTMLDocument element within it, and tick the boxes, which are probably HTMLInputElement elements.
