_IEloadwait problem

[LucasM]

Hello comunity, i´ve started working with AutoIt and i´m getting a lot of trouble when i try to modify functions

Basically what i´ve been asked to do is, to open a Iexplorer window, make it navigate to msnbc.com (this specific page cause it got heavy flash content) and after loading... redirect that adress or just duplicate the tab.

The main problem is that sometimes, "msnbc" doesnt show "DONE" on the statusbar, so i figured out that i needed to modify that function in orded to

kill the loading process after a couple of seconds.

This way, iexplorer would do whatever i ask it to do next without waiting to complete the load right ?

how can i do that ?

Hi, LucasM, welcome to the forum. If you do not want to wait for the page to load at all, you would set the 4th option in IECreate to 0. Something like this:

#include <IE.au3>
_IECreate("www.msnbc.com", 0, 1, 0)
;next task

If you want it to wait a certain amount of time, but not until the page loads, look into the Sleep function in the help file.

Jlogan, that was incredibly fast. I´ve tried that and it shows me an error saying this

"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (202) : ==> "Func" statement has no matching "EndFunc".:

Func _IECreate($s_Url = "about:blank", $f_tryAttach = 0, $f_visible = 1, $f_wait = 1, $f_takeFocus = 1)

>Exit code: 1 Time: 0.2092"

ive placed that under complete functional line wrote. and that error was shown.

Can you post the exact code you use? I tested JLogan3o13's code here and it works just fine.

[LucasM]

im reading all the tutorials i can while posting here. i really want to keep learning bout this program. but until 3 days ago i´d never programmed anything in my life..

i ´ve started working and this are the things they asmk me to write. it´s a little bit confusing , but probably not impossible.

[water]

The error you get may be caused by a missing quote or something like that. Hence I ask for the skript code you run.

[LucasM]

Well we just wrote this... and it seems to work for now.

Func WaitLoad($window) ;1 a waitload le asigna window

Dim $state

Sleep(5000)

$state = ControlGetText($window, "", "msctls_statusbar321")

Sleep(2000)

If $state = "Done" OR "Done, but with errors on page" Then

Sleep(1000)

Else

EndLoad($window)

EndIf

EndFunc

Func EndLoad($window)

Sleep(2000)

Send("{ESC}")

Sleep(2000)

EndFunc

any idea of doing this in native functions ?

[LucasM]

ok, it doesnt work properly. Windows continue loading.. without reaching the next line

i cannot send you the code cause it wont work on your computers.

im working on layers. with an api.

Can you not write a small reproducer that illustrates where the script is failing? If your script is not working, yet you cannot show your code, you make it nigh impossible to assist you.

I hope this is the way to post it.. otherwise ill make a mess here. xD

the problem seemed to be the webpages i was trying to load... they were too heavy
