How to know if Navigate2 of Webbrowser control has finished?

[alexandros]

Does anybody know how to know if Navigate2 function of Webbrowser control has finished?

I navigate to a website then navigate to a link of a frame of this website.
The problem is that the computer does not wait until the navigating has finished.

i read i should type something like this

Private Sub wbrowser_BeforeNavigate2(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant, Flags As Variant, TargetFrameName As Variant, PostData As Variant, Headers As Variant, Cancel As Boolean)
hdoc_complete = False
End Sub
 
 
 
 
Private Sub wbrowser_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
If (pDisp Is wbrowser.Object) Then
hdoc_complete = True
End If
 
End Sub
and in the main sub
 
wbrowser.Navigate2 (wbrowser.Document.frames.Item(5).Document.All.tags("A").Item(3).href)
    DoEvents
    
    Do While hdoc_complete = False
        DoEvents
    Loop

the problem is that the computer halts and hdoc_complete is FALSE ALL THE TIME.

please help because microsoft screwed it again !!!

I don't really know which approach you've chosen in the above example, but you could use the DocumentComplete and NavigateComplete events of the browser control. You could e.g. check if the URL is right before doing anything else. Also take a look at the Budy property of the browser control (which returns True when the browser is working, else False).

from what i have read the documetcomplete event
is not reliable.
i tried to use them but they were crap.
instead i used a timer to wait 3 seconds for each page.
now it works fine but it is not that good programmatically.

i will try the budy property you told me.

cheers

Ok, good luck. And sorry but it's busy, not budy, my bad...
