How to set an URL on Internet Explorer's Address Bar
Hi,
Is it possible to set an URL on MS Internet Explorer's Address Bar then move to the URL's page? I could interrogate the area but don't know the way to do that. What I want to do is to paste an URL, go to the other page, get some values from there(e.g. Yahoo Finance).
Thanks,

To navigate the browser, there is a control that is disabled by default that you can interrogate called the Browser. To add it to your hierarchy, you'll need to do the following;
1. Change the IgnoreMainBrowser property to false.
2. Start Interrogation.
3. Make sure that no pages are matching (you can navigate to a page you are not using for your solution like pega.com).
4. Uncheck Create Global Web Page from the Interrogation form.
5. Interrogate something on the page.
6. In the hierarchy you created, you should see a control just above your web page. This is the browser control and has a navigate method.
7. You can now delete anything under this control.
8. Make sure you adjust the match rules for this hierarchy and all objects therein to ensure that it matches on all of your pages.

Hi Swarnendu,
Is OpenURLInWindow a method? Which object has it? I couldn't find it in the help, so could you give me a bit more about that?
/Thank you.

Hello Yukihito-san,
You can interrogate the address bar and go button, then you can set the text of the address bar then click on OK.
attached the screenshots for your reference.

Hi Harish,
I could interrogate controls but they don't work in Automation. I'm trying two ways,using Web Adapter and Windows Adapter, but neither can set URL on txtAdressBar.
Web Adapter
Windows Adapter
Would you show me more about how you did?

I'm afraid I don't know why it doesn't work. The difference I can tell is Selected Target Name, which shows [FullName on Yahoo] as mine while [FullName on txtAdressbar] as yours. I interrogated in Default mode the area as I showed on the first post (August 18, 2017 - 3:50pm). Have I had any problem?

Hi,
Try in the below way.
instead of Created event for the YahooFinance control,
use the default page (first page) Loaded event.
for this, you've to interrogate the default page also.
OR
for testing purpose, create a form with button and on that button click event set the url and click on go button
Thanks,
Harish.
