Affe 1 Posted September 13, 2007 I am writing a multimedia web crawler that uses google to find media files. (Note: I do know that this is in violation of Google TOS). I use two embedded IE windows that are hidden to navigate. This brings my first question: How can I disable the "clicking" sound that is made when the program navigates to a new URL? Now, the search results are populated into a listview on the GUI. The search is SUPPOSED to continue until the user clicks "Stop". This brings my next question: I have the search in a "While" loop, with the condition being $search = True. I have a "Stop" button that sets $search to False. However, this doesn't seem to have an effect. The search keeps going until it errors out. This also freezes the GUI, keeping the user from being able to download the files or being able to sort the listview. I tried adding a GuiGetMsg into the loop, but it seems to have no effect. The code for the "While" loop is below: $search = True While $search = True $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $cancel_btn Then $search = False ExitLoop EndIf $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE) $iNumLinks = @extended For $oLink In $oLinks $str = String($oLink.href) $check = StringInStr($str, "google") If $check = 0 Then $check = StringInStr($str, "blogger") If $check = 0 Then $check = StringInStr($str, "orkut") If $check = 0 Then $check = StringInStr($str, "cache") If $check = 0 Then $check = StringInStr($str, "e-mp3s") If $check = 0 Then $check = StringInStr($str, "fast-mp3") If $check = 0 Then _IENavigate($oDownload, $oLink.href) _IELoadWaitTimeout(15000) LinkGet() EndIf EndIf EndIf EndIf EndIf EndIf Next _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Next") WEnd The LinkGet() Function code is below: Func LinkGet() $oDLs = _IELinkGetCollection($oDownload) For $oDL In $oDLs $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $cancel_btn Then $search = False ExitLoop EndIf $a = StringSplit($search_goal, ".") $str = String($oDL.outertext) $check = StringInStr($str, $a[1]) If $check = 0 Then Else $check = StringRight($str, 3) If $check = "mp3" Or $check = "mp4" Or $check = "wma" Or $check = "avi" Or $check = "wmv" Or $check = "exe" Then $a = StringSplit($oDL.href, "/") $pingstr = $a[1] & "//" & $a[3] $ping = Ping($pingstr, 250) If $ping = 0 Then $ping = "?" EndIf $Search_Array[@extended][0] = $oDL.href $Search_Array[@extended][1] = $oDL.outertext $Search_Array[@extended][2] = $ping $Search_Array[@extended][3] = InetGetSize($oDL.href) $Search_Array[@extended][4] = $check $str = StringFormat("%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|", $search_count, $Search_Array[@extended][4], $Search_Array[@extended][1], $Search_Array[@extended][3], $Search_Array[@extended][2], $Search_Array[@extended][0]) GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($str, $listView) $search_count = $search_count + 1 EndIf EndIf Next EndFunc ;==>LinkGet Does anyone have any suggestions?

Affe 1 Posted September 13, 2007 I found a way to make the IE window hidden. So instead of using an embedded Activex, it is now in windows, which seems to make the program more efficient, and removes those unsightly boxes created by "hidden" embedded windows. But I would still like to disable the clicking sound, and I still need help to stop the search... [center][/center] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Affe 1 Posted September 13, 2007 My main problem is being able to exit the loop, and allow the GUI to operate while the search is going on. Does anyone have a suggestion for this??? [center][/center] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Affe 1 Posted September 14, 2007 I found a way to get out of the loop and prevent the program from locking up, so this is no longer needed. [center][/center] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
