axwebbrowser wait problem

[hawk1ns]

Hello , a short description of what i want to do :

 

a friend has asked me to try this for him..

 

i have this working on a manual basis , i.e using buttons and manually inputting product number so i am nearly there

 

i input a number in a textbox ( item number )

then click browse button on application and the website appears in a axwebbrowser1 window

i then click on a view source btn and can view the html in a textbox

 

i can the sort and parce through the html to grab product info and image url etc

 

i will store this in a database when i am finished :)

 

the above works fine ...

but the idea is to set a loop from 1 to say 100000 and have the pages entered automaticaly....

 

heres the problem tho:

 

the loop goes way to fast and does not allow the web page to load before continuing to next step..

 

how can i enter a check so that everything stops untill the web page has fully loaded ?

 

Kind regards

Carl

if you only want to be able to navigate to the sites and retrieve the source of them sites / also be able to download images etc... why not use System.Net.WebClient ?

here's an example , just downloading 3 sites , with a 100 millisecond pause :

   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Dim strUrls() As String = "http://google.com [url]http://yahoo.com[/url] [url]http://msn.com[/url]".Split(" ")
       Dim x(3) As System.Net.WebClient

       Dim i As Integer
       For i = 0 To 2
           x(i) = New System.Net.WebClient()
           Dim st As New IO.StreamReader(x(i).OpenRead(strUrls(i)))
           MsgBox(st.ReadToEnd)
           Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
           st.Close()
           x(i).Dispose()
       Next

   End Sub

thanks for the suggestions :)

I seem to have a problem with this line of the code :

 

Dim strUrls() As String = "http://google.com <a href="http://yahoo.com" target="_blank">http://yahoo.com</a> <a href="http://msn.com" target="_blank">http://msn.com</a>".Split(" ")

 

blue error lines on a few things

can you suggest why ?

 

Kind Regards

yes it's supposed to be spaces not the < href stuff , thats how it converted on the thread :-\

http://google.com

http://yahoo.com

http://msn.com

with spaces.

well i think i need to keep going the way i was , cos when i get the html by the way above i get a different page , it also says :

turn your browser scripting on.

grabbing the url

 

hello , i have used the script above to display the html text in a textbox , i would now like to also put the actual url into this box.

 

basically i have some links for a php script on my website that used numbers in its directory , to try and catalogue i want to know where each link goes ..

 

for example http://somesite.com/phpscript?id=number

actually goes to a website so

the html i get from the code above displays the html code for the page but i also want to grab the url web address?

 

Kind Regards

Carl
