Getting the URL of the Front IE Window w/ VBScript
Author: Brent Simmons Posted: 12/18/1998; 5:11:00 PM Topic: Getting the URL of the Front IE Window w/ VBScript Msg #: 1453 Prev/Next: 1452 / 1454
Here's a question for VBScript experts:I'm trying to get the URL of the frontmost window in Internet Explorer.
My code looks like this:
Sub Main
Dim ie
Set ie = GetObject ("", "InternetExplorer.Application")
MsgBox ie.LocationURL
End Sub
When I call it, the MsgBox window is always empty. I've checked in the documentation that I'm retrieving the correct property. I've also tried other properties: locationName also doesn't work, but Parent, for example, does work.
I've also read the docs enough to know that GetObject gets an existing object: I don't want to use CreateObject because I want the URL of the window that's already open, I don't want to create a new window.
I'm running IE 4.0.1 on NT, if that's relevant.
