List All Properties in Object

[crazypabs]

Hi

I need to list all the properties in an object. Anyone got any VBA code to do this.
I dont want to just look up the OB as this wont then allow me to export and compare the results for any changes in the object's properties.

Any thoughts?

As far as I know there's no code that will do this.

What objects do you want to compare?

I have a reference to the IE HTML library and I have set the object as follows...

Set s3 = myIE.Document.all.tags("TEXTAREA").Item(1)

where myIE is the IE explorer object and textarea is the area I am attempted to evaluate.

I am trying to assess all the properties of s3 before, during and after interaction of the user. Once I have a full list of the properties at each stage i then want to compare the properties to see why and where it changes.

Since this is, I think an HTML element it might be able to loop through the properties but I don't know if it would be worth it.

A lot of the properties will have their own properties which will have their... and so on.

I attempted something similar once and ended up with some crazy looping.

found some MS code that kind of worked, but didnt.

I will just have to give it some trial and error, I have so far spent about 60hrs on trying to figure out this bug, and it is the last thing stopping me from taking over the world mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha

What is it you are trying to do?

Is there no other way than comparing every property of the object(s) before/after?

What code did you find and what's the 'bug'?

I am going to be sent a series of text files containing quotes, e.g. "I have nothing to proclaim except my genius", I want the code to open IE link to my Facebook page click on the text area for putting comment on the wall then click post.

I have everything in place except the process that clicks on the textarea, whenever I do this and attempt to set the HTML Text area element properties innertext, outertext or value then the text appears in the text area but when the code clicks the Input element to post the wall comment it just sits there.

I can see that the textarea properties change but I cant get the value to be set then post.

Really discombobluated.

I will have another crack at it tomorrow night.

I honestly don't know why you want to list all the properties, I don't think it will help.

How about concentrating on the button you are clicking?

Perhaps it's something that's triggered by that which is the problem.

Hi Norie,

Thankyou for all your help, very much appreciated. Eventually I found the solution.

FYI The developers of the website had created a text box area in html with one name, but for some reason when the button ******* event was triggered the values were transfered to a hidden INPUT object and the content of the extarea was ignored.

I have now solved my problem and I am going live with my code this week. Thanks Again
