letting script wait for browser to finish

[Berend Jan]

hi again,

sorry for spamming but i'm really a n00b at this still.

But my question is how do I pause the script to wait for a internet page to have loaded completely and then continuing?

If the page changes the title of the Internet Explorer title bar, you can check for that.

This something like this:

Make sure to use opt:

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

Func _WaitForWebPage()
    Do
        $sIEstatus = StatusbarGetText("Internet Explorer")
    Until $sIEstatus = "Done"
EndFunc

Isnt there a way to "scan" the progress bar?

I'll test it. Though i'm using Mozilla Firefox, should this be a problem if i change it to:

Func _WaitForWebPage()
    Do
        $sMOZstatus = StatusbarGetText("Firefox")
    Until $sMOZstatus = "Done"
EndFunc

If it is a problem, try using the AutoIT Window Info tool to determine what the control is called. Then use something like this:

Func _WaitForWebPage()
    Do
        $sBrowserstatus = ControlGetText("FireFox", "", "FireFox Status Control Name")
    Until $sBrowserstatus = "Done"
EndFunc

Good luck, Mozilla Firefox doesn't give up the status bar text easily (if at all), nor is it listed as a "control" per say with the window spy.
