<IE.au3> _IELoadWait

[trandatnh]

_IECreate() , _IENavigate() and some _IE* functions have _IELoadWait option. _IELoadWait so good but I'm having problem with it. I don't want to wait for image load.

question: how can I use _IELoadWait functions (in _IECreate(), _IENavigate()) and don't need to wait image load?

thanks.

Dog ate your help file? Look at the $f_wait parameter for those functions in the help file.

maybe u don't understand my question.

I read about $f_wait but if set $f_wait = 1 ~> wait for load image

if set $i_wait = 0 ~> no wait anything, ~> sometime the source of site is nothing too.

I'm talking about the option, if set $f_wait = -1 then ~> wait load source but dont wait load image?

Hmm, if the page is standard HTML, turn wait to 0, load page, loop-read HTML-Body and if string </html> can be found continue...

Exactly.

if set $i_wait = 0 ~> no wait anything, ~> sometime the source of site is nothing too.

I don't understand what you mean here.

Where did you see an option for $f_wait = -1? That will be exactly the same as $f_wait = 1 (both True, wait for page to finish).

Dale Hohm did post a solution somewhere for turning images off when loading the page. I don't remember how it worked, but if you use the Search function, you should be able to find it.

It was meant to be funny by reference to "My dog ate my homework."

There is another way... turn off the wait in _IECreate and then monitor the readystate yourself with _IEPropertyGet(object, "readystate")

Object can be the browser object (e.g. $oIE), document (e.g. $oDoc = $oIE.document) or any DOM element. Readystate values unfortunately are either strings or constants, depending on the object.

0 = uninitialized

1 = loading

2 = loaded

3 = interactive

4 = complete

_IELoadWait uses this property and checks for the numeric or string value. You typically will not want to continue before 3, interactive.

Thank Dale, and here is my way.

While Not ($o_object.readyState = 3 Or $f_About)
    If (TimerDiff($IELoadWaitTimer) > $i_timeout) Then
        $i_ErrorStatusCode = $_IEStatus_LoadWaitTimeout
        $f_About = True
    EndIf
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

While Not (IsObj($o_object.document.body) Or $f_About)
    If (TimerDiff($IELoadWaitTimer) > $i_timeout) Then
        $i_ErrorStatusCode = $_IEStatus_LoadWaitTimeout
        $f_About = True
    EndIf
    Sleep(100)
    WEnd

I still have problem with _IECreateNew(). I want to invisible IE instance with _IECreateNew and here is my way

Local $s_random, $h_IEhandle, $o_IE
    Local $result, $f_mustUnlock = 0

    $s_random = "about:blank-" & Random(1000000, 9999999, 1)
    Run(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " & $s_random)

    If Not WinWait($s_random, "", 60) Then; Expected IE window did not appear
        Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    EndIf
    
    If Not $f_visible Then $f_takeFocus = 0; Force takeFocus to 0 for hidden window
    
    If Not $f_visible Then
        $result = __IELockSetForegroundWindow(1)
        If $result Then $f_mustUnlock = 1
    EndIf
    
;If Not $f_visible Then WinSetTrans($s_random, '',0)

    $h_IEhandle = WinGetHandle($s_random, "")
    $o_IE = _IEAttach($h_IEhandle, "hwnd")

    If Not IsObj($o_IE) Then; attach failed
        Return SetError(2, 0, 0)
    EndIf
    
    $o_IE.visible = $f_visible
    
    If $f_mustUnlock Then
        $result = __IELockSetForegroundWindow($LSFW_UNLOCK)
    If Not $result Then __IEErrorNotify("Warning", "_IECreate", "", "Foreground Window Unlock Failed!")
; If the unlock doesn't work we may have created an unwanted modal window
    EndIf

    _IENavigate($o_IE, $s_url)
    Return $o_IE

It does not work well as my expected. if i set $f_visible= 0 , IE instance will be invisible but when one IE instance is created, it will take focus of the current activate windows. And it still visible in a short time

I want it don't appear, don't take focus. How to do that?

thanks for read.

You're doing everything I would suggest. IE8 appears to have a "newprocess" flag so there may be some new options comming -- but I have not tested with it yet.
