Post by Hoa » Mon May 29, 2006 5:49 am

Hi,

I would like to navigate to a numbers of URLs and do something in the background and I don't want IE windows to display. Is there a way of doing this ?

Can some please help me with this?

Many thanks

You don't say what method you are using. If you are using VBScript you can set the visible property to zero. See the example here:

Change IE.Visible = 1 to IE.Visible = 0.

If you are using WebRecorder to create your script you can use the ShowIE function, with the Visible flag set to zero:

LibFunc>hIE,ShowIE,r,%IE[0]%,0
