Determine activity on IE

[furrycow]

Just a quickie...

is there a function of any kind to determine whether or not something has just happened in IE (im using it embedded if that makes a difference). So for instance, if a link on a page was clicked?

Or even more efficiently, a way of determining when a web address of an instance has changed.

Currently, i've got this method, but it is hardly accurate, and although it does pick it up most of the time, it does quite often fail, for obvious reasons.

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE=_IECreate("about:blank")
$address2="about:blank"

While 1

$address1 = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "locationurl")

If $address1 <> $address2 Then Msgbox(0,"","The web address has changed")

$address2= _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "locationurl")

Sleep(500)

WEnd

Is there a better solution??

Thanks.

Maybe,,,

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate("about:blank")
$handle = WinGetHandle("")
$address2 = "about:blank"
$text2 = "" ;

While WinExists($handle)

    $address1 = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "locationurl")
    If $address1 <> $address2 Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "The web address has changed")
        $address2 = $address1
    EndIf

    $text = _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE)
    If $text <> $text2 Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "The text has changed")
        $text2 = $text
    EndIf


    ; etc. etc. etc


    Sleep(100)

WEnd

Perfect, thanks!

Although just a heads-up, the HTML reading part of it came up in error, when i was changing webpages fast, it was some object error in the IE.au3.

Thanks again!

Welcome!

Just add the IE error handler. Be sure to see....

_IEErrorHandlerRegister()

and

_IEErrorNotify()
