[Solved] What is the replacement to _ieloadwait() in UI Automation?

[Exit]

 

Edit: Problem solved. See my post 4 entries below.

I am currently converting a script from internet explorer to google chrome.
Now I'm looking for the replacement for _IELOADWAIT()
My first attempt was

$oWindowPattern1.WaitForInputIdle($iMilliSeconds, $bSuccess)

but unfortunately the script did not wait.

Does anyone has a solution?

You will need to check the status of document.readyState as mentioned below --

P.S. You can take a look at _WD_LoadWait from the Webdriver UDF for how we implemented it there.

Seems pretty complicated.
But I'll try my best. 🤔

Check if the next element you want to act on is available

Pixelchecksum

Sleep 5000

Javascript thru addressbar will give you also access to all dom info.

....

Many alternatives are there depending on your goal and requirements.

Now I have found a solution.

Unfortunately, there is a dependency on the German language. ☹️
But my problem is solved.
Here is my solution:

expandcollapse popup

;~  _IELoadWait($oIE)
;~ =============================================================


        ; find "Google Chrome" pane

        Local $pCondition0, $pPane1, $oPane1
        $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition($UIA_NamePropertyId, "Google Chrome", $pCondition0)
        $oWindow.FindFirst($TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition0, $pPane1)
        $oPane1 = ObjCreateInterface($pPane1, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement8, $dtag_IUIAutomationElement8)


        ; Find "Neu laden" Button

        Local $pCondition1, $pButton, $oButton
        $oUIAutomation.CreatePropertyCondition($UIA_NamePropertyId, "Neu laden", $pCondition1)
        $oPane1.FindFirst($TreeScope_Descendants, $pCondition1, $pButton)
        $oButton = ObjCreateInterface($pButton, $sIID_IUIAutomationElement8, $dtag_IUIAutomationElement8)


        ; Get "Neu laden" button description

        Local $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1
        $oButton.GetCurrentPropertyValue($UIA_LegacyIAccessibleDescriptionPropertyId, $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1)
        ConsoleWrite("Before reload: $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 = " & $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 & @CRLF)


        ; reload Window

        ControlSend($hWin, "", "", "^r") ; neu laden
        Sleep(100) ; allow refresh to start


        ; wait for "noload" description
        While $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 <> "Seite nicht weiter laden"
            $oButton.GetCurrentPropertyValue($UIA_LegacyIAccessibleDescriptionPropertyId, $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1)
            Sleep(20)
        WEnd
        ConsoleWrite("During reload: $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 = " & $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 & @CRLF)
        ; wait for "load complete" description
        While $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 <> "Diese Seite neu laden"
            $oButton.GetCurrentPropertyValue($UIA_LegacyIAccessibleDescriptionPropertyId, $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1)
            Sleep(20)
        WEnd
        ConsoleWrite("After  reload: $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 = " & $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 & @CRLF)

;~  end of _IELoadWait($oIE) sollution
;~ =============================================================

And here's the console output:

Before reload: $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 = Diese Seite neu laden
During reload: $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 = Seite nicht weiter laden
After  reload: $sLegacyIAccessibleDescription1 = Diese Seite neu laden
