Webbrowser: Need help on delays inside the loop

Hi everyone!

I have a webbrowser control that opens a website and automatically fill in the textboxes on the forms. I am done with that part but im having problems with the loop.

The data are stored in the database where i populate it using Msflexgrid. And i use two textboxes for ranges like process 1-5 or 10-20... etc coz i have more than 10,000 records.

I want to leave my computer to process it but for the sake of testing i put number ranges that is incorporated in my loop.

Code:

---

Dim x As Long ' loop counter

tempnum = CLng(txtFrom.Text)

For x = CLng(txtFrom.Text) To CLng(txtTo.Text)

    With WebBrowser1
        .Document.All("Add").Click

        ' error on this part coz the above code is not yet completed
        .Document.All("Firstname").Value = MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(tempnum, 1)
        .Document.All("Lastname").Value = MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(tempnum, 2)
        .Document.All("Save").Click
        tempnum = tempnum + 1
    End With
Next x

I'm having problems with the click event coz it will not wait for the document to complete before firing the next command. Is there a workaround for this delay without moving the rest of the function to "WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete" event?

There are several possible solutions. The easiest to try is

Code:

---

Dim x As Long ' loop counter

tempnum = CLng(txtFrom.Text)

For x = CLng(txtFrom.Text) To CLng(txtTo.Text)

    With WebBrowser1
        .Document.All("Add").Click
        DoEvents

        ' error on this part coz the above code is not yet completed
        .Document.All("Firstname").Value = MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(tempnum, 1)
        .Document.All("Lastname").Value = MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(tempnum, 2)
        .Document.All("Save").Click
        tempnum = tempnum + 1
    End With

---

Next x

I've tried it. it will not work.

Is there a workaround for usinga a delay without moving the rest of the function to "WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete" event?

like this for example. it works with no prob.

Code:

---

Dim x As Long ' loop counter

tempnum = CLng(txtFrom.Text)

For x = CLng(txtFrom.Text) To CLng(txtTo.Text)

    With WebBrowser1
        .Document.All("Add").Click      'clicking add button
                                                'the function is located
                                                'on document complete below
        .Document.All("Save").Click    'clicking save button
        tempnum = tempnum + 1
    End With
Next x

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)

    If (pDisp Is WebBrowser1.Object) Then
        If URL = "https://www.expected_URL_To_Trigger_A_Function.com" Then
            .Document.All("Firstname").Value = MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(tempnum, 1)
        .Document.All("Lastname").Value = MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(tempnum, 2)

        End If
    End If
End Sub

The problem with this is I have a loop is rhere any other way for the next command to wait until document is completed?

Define "completed"

completed as in "html document is completely loaded" before firing the next command.

By the way, im browsing a secure page https and it seems that some button is not responding to what its suppose to do. Sometimes I need to hit F5 to refresh it and it will be ok. Is there a tip when using secure pages?
