Need help to wait on IE window status "DONE"

[tonycst]

Hi guys, immaking automattic printing of an IExplorer page.

I tried using _IELoadWait function but its not working for me because i do not create window, it pups out.

My script is waiting for window to exist and then it sends CTRL+P to print.

It works fine but page is not loaded 100% so it prints blank page or openens wrong printing dialogue.

Here is a piece that is used to detect window as soon as it pops on the screen.

If WinExists ($LabelFromINI) Then
    WinActivate ($LabelFromINI)
    Send("^p") ;send PRINT shortcut
    WinWaitActive ("Print","",2) ;wait for PRITN dialog to apear
    $LabelDownCount = GUICtrlRead ($ArrowDownToLabelPrinter) ;returns # of times to press arrow DOWN
    $LabelUpCount = GUICtrlRead ($ArrowUpToLabelPrinter);returns # of times to press arrow UP
    If $LabelDownCount > 0 Then Send ("{DOWN " & $LabelDownCount & "}")
    If $LabelUpCount > 0 Then Send ("{UP " & $LabelUpCount & "}")
    Send ("{ENTER}") ;Press Enter to pritn using selected printer
    WinWaitClose ("Print") ;wait for PRINT dialog to close
    If GUICtrlRead ($AutoCloseLableWin) = $GUI_CHECKED Then WinClose ($LabelFromINI) ;Close printed page it set to autoclose
    If GUICtrlRead ($LabelCloseWaitCheckBox) = $GUI_CHECKED Then WinWaitClose ($LabelFromINI) ;Wait for uset to close printed page it set to manual
EndIf

I hope my script make since and explanes why i cant use _IELoadWait

Perhaps i dont know how to use _IELoadWait correctly, please show me how.

Greatly appreciated to be in AUTOIT community.

Waiting for resolution all thanks to you.

The help file for _IELoadWait (section: Remarks) describes why the function not always returns the desired result.

If you need to wait until the statusbar shows "DONE" maybe function StatusbarGetText helps.

try this

While 1
$state = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "readystate")
$state2 = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "busy")
if ($state = 4 Or $state = 'complete') and $state2 = False then ExitLoop
Wend

can You analyze content ?

$sInnerText = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "innertext")

maybe $sInnerText is specyfic , for example if web page always ends with the same string ?

I ended up using "StatusbarGetText"

Worked like a charm but there are more then 2 windows pop one after another, so by the time 1st window says "DONE" and script activats it, another window is also becomes DONE and becomes activated by its self.

I wonder if there is a way to lock activated window when other windows are trying to pop in foreground and become activated.

Is there such thing to lock window activated preventing others to become activated unless told to do so ?

Thank u guys for all ur examples.
