Relaunching IE and navigate to a URL when loading takes more time

[Gowrisankar]

Hello everyone,

When I launch a URL and the webpage takes more time to load (say more than 1 minute), I want the URL to be relaunched.

I used _IELoadWait(). But the control doesn't get pass through the _IELoadWait() command, since the webpage takes more time to load.

I searched some of the older posts related to this topic. But I couldn't work them out.

Please guide me.

Please show us what you've attempted thus far.

Sure Danp2.

Global $oIE_SL_CA = _IECreate()
_IENavigate($oIE_SL_CA, "---URL-HERE---")
_IELoadWait($oIE_SL_CA)

The IE window is just passive for long time. But the webpage was not loaded.

I tried the following code after the _IELoadWait()

Local $sStatusMessage = _IEPropertyGet($oIE_SL_CA, "statustext")
MsgBox(0, "Information", $sStatusMessage)

The status text was not displayed since the control didn't get past _IELoadWait().

Does this work for you?

 

While 1
    _IELoadWait($oIE_SL_CA, 0, 300000) ; Timeout Value in milliseconds
    If Not @error Then ExitLoop

WEnd

Hi Floops.. I will try it and let you know in few minutes.

I tried the following code with time out value as 10 seconds. But the message box I have coded below was displayed only after several seconds when the webpage was completely loaded.

While 1

      _IELoadWait($oIE_SL_CA, 0, 10000) ; Timeout Value in milliseconds

      MsgBox(0, "Information", "ReLaunching")

      _IENavigate($oIE_SL_CA, "---URL-HERE---")

      If Not @error Then ExitLoop

   WEnd

That's how it is supposed to work. The call to _IELoadWait will return when either the page has completely loaded or the timeout has occurred.

[Gowrisankar]

I think the timeout was not considered.

Only after nearly one full minute, the webpage was loaded and the message box was populated.

Is there a way to consider the timeout value alone and relaunch the url when the timeout has occurred?

[Floops]

Try this please

 

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE_SL_CA = _IECreate()

While 1

    _IENavigate($oIE_SL_CA, "https://google.com", 0) ; change the url

    _IELoadWait($oIE_SL_CA, 0, 10000) ; Timeout Value in milliseconds
    If Not @error Then ExitLoop

    MsgBox(0, "Information", "ReLaunching")

WEnd

If the Timeout is reached the _IELoadWait Function returns an error.

The script only exits the loop if there is no error, aka the site loading successfully.
