[RESOLVED] My code is working only when I toggle a breakpoint and STEP into code

[Krass]

The following code launches internet explorer on the google webpage. Then a routine confirms that the IE windows was opened AND found.

Call proLaunchIE

Public Sub proLaunchIE()
    Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE www.google.com", vbMaximizedFocus
    
    Dim booIEWasFound As Boolean
    For i = 0 To 20
        If fctIEHasFinishedLoading("Google") = True Then
            'loading SUCCESSFUL
            booIEWasFound = True
            Exit For
        End If
    Next i
    
    If booIEWasFound = False Then
        MsgBox "String 'google' not found"
        Exit Sub
    End If
End Sub


Public Function fctIEHasFinishedLoading(strWindowCaption As String) As Boolean
    Dim strWindowCaptionFound As String
    
    Call proWaitWithSleep(1000)
    strWindowCaptionFound = (GetCaption$(DLHFindWin&(frmForm, strWindowCaption, False)))

    If strWindowCaptionFound <> "" Then
        fctIEHasFinishedLoading = True
    Else
        Debug.Print "window-caption not found"
    End If
End Function


Public Function GetCaption(lhWnd As Long) As String

Dim sA As String, lLen As Long

   lLen& = GetWindowTextLength(lhWnd&)

      sA$ = String(lLen&, 0&)

   Call GetWindowText(lhWnd&, sA$, lLen& + 1)
   GetCaption$ = sA$
    DoEvents
End Function

Public Function DLHFindWin(frm As Form, WinTitle As String, _
CaseSensitive As Boolean) As Long

Dim lhWnd As Long, sA As String

   lhWnd& = frm.hwnd


Do

   DoEvents
      If lhWnd& = 0 Then Exit Do
         If CaseSensitive = False Then
             sA$ = LCase$(GetCaption(lhWnd&))
             WinTitle$ = LCase$(WinTitle$)
         Else
             sA$ = GetCaption(lhWnd&)
         End If

       If InStr(sA$, WinTitle$) Then
          DLHFindWin& = lhWnd&
          Exit Do
       Else
         DLHFindWin& = 0
       End If

       lhWnd& = GetNextWindow(lhWnd&, 2)

Loop
End Function


Public Function EnumProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Boolean
    Dim sClass As String * 255
    Call GetClassName(hwnd, sClass, 255)
    If Left(sClass, 4) = "Edit" Then
        hwndCONTROL = hwnd
        Exit Function 'the first "edit" field found is the one I need - I can quit function
    End If
    EnumProc = hwnd
End Function

This code will work ONLY if I toggle a breakpoint in the proLaunchIE procedure. I can simply CTRL-BREAK into code, then press F5 and it'll find the "google" IE window. But won't find it without user interaction. It will simply end the loop without finding IE. I think this is weird. Anyone with an idea what is causing that?

Tried putting "DoEvents" here and there but it didn't help.

Thank you!
