Need VB Script to automate the IE !!!!

[maahi@VB]

Hi All,

I am a beginner to Vb Script, So i wanted to know the some useful information for my scenario automation.
My scenario includes ::
1. Opening the Internet Explorer
2. Maximize the window
3. Wait for Page to load fully
3. Click on Link
4. Getting the text from a label/Span
5. Verification of the text in the browser

Is is possible to automate the flow by using simple Vb script (.vbs file) without using any automation tool???
Please help in this regard.
Thanks in Advance !!

All that can be done by using the InternetExplorer.Application object and HTML Object Library. Clue.... Google...

Is it possible for a VBscript to open a maximized (not fullscreen) Internet Explorer window and bring it to the foreground? I am using the below code to open the IE

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.menubar = 1
IE.toolbar = 0
IE.statusbar = 0
IE.Navigate ("My Html form")
IE.Visible = True

I have tried using the property .FullScreen, but it is opening the IE window in full screen mode.

But I want it to be in Maxzimized(Not in full screen mode)

I found the code below from another posting, but it give me errors when I try to run it from a VBscript.

'Declare Function apiShowWindow Lib "user32" Alias "ShowWindow" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

Global Const SW_MAXIMIZE = 3
Global Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
Global Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1

apiShowWindow IE.hwnd, SW_MAXIMIZE

I think the above will work fine for Excel macros, is there any relevant VB script code for the above ??
