Get handle to a created internet explorer window

How can I get the handle for an internet explorer window created by

IE_Create>0,IE[0]

I later want to set focus to the internet explorer window to grab the current URL.

I got more internet explorer windows open at the same time, so I need the handle to the windows when they are created.

The "handle" stored in IE[0] is always Zero. If I use

SetFocus>%IE[0]%

it will not work for me.

Is "IE[0]" a window name or a window handle. If it is a window handle the Setfocus> line must be preceded by the line Let>WIN_USEHANDLE=1.

Let>WIN_USEHANDLE=1
SetFocus>%IE[0]%

Read help for any window control function to see how to use "WIN_USEHANDLE"

I use

IE_Create>0,IE[0]

to creat an internet explorer instance.

I've never used Web Recorder but from reading in the forum I think that IE_Create>0,IE[0] will create a variable "IE[0]" with a value that is the window's handle.

No, it does not. It always gives the handle Zero. That's the problem with it.
