Visual Basic :: Shell IE, Load Webpage && Log Whether Webpage Loads Or Not

Need To Pause/Wait While A Webpage Loads?
I am in the process of writing a program that has to download data from over 200 webpages(not source data I don't want the HTML Coding), the program works fine in the manual mode with a vbOKOnly as I visually watch the pages load, I would like to be able to have the program do this for me.

Here is a look at what I have so far!

Code:
Private Sub Command3_Click()
Dim x As Long, strFF As String, sURL As String, curURL As String, str As String, i As Long

sURL = App.Path & "URLList.ini" 'File containing the URL List
strFF = App.Path & "TextFile.txt"

Open sURL For Input As #3
Do Until EOF(3)
Input #3, str
curURL = str
i = i + 1

WebBrowser1.Navigate2 curURL
MsgBox i & "--> " & str, vbOKOnly 'my Temporary MsgBox Fix
'Need a pause/wait statement here
Text1.Text = WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerText

Open strFF For Append As #1
Print #1, Text1.Text
Close #1

Loop
Close #3

End Sub
Any Suggestions greatly appreciated.

TIA

Shell Webpage
How would I open a local webpage(saved on PC) using internet explorer? I'm pretty sure it would involve the shell comand (of which I have little, or no experience), but I don't know the specifics. Thanks.

Load A Webpage
Hello,

I want to load in visual basic a webpage. I don't want to do anything with it, only load it. The page i want load contains a script what will executed then.
Is it possible, when yes, how can I load this webpage?

How To Load Webpage In VB6?
I would like to open a webpage (text files) in Visual Basic 6, and store the results in an array. I don't want the user to see the webpage opening up, like running shell explorer or shell start. I found quite a few examples online, but none of them worked. In Perl, this is all the I would have to do:

PHP Code:

use LWP::Simple;
local $www='http://www.google.com';
my @ray=get $www;

I am an Unix (C, Perl, Shells, etc) programmer, and this is one of my first attempts at Windows programming. So, please be kind and help me out.

Thank you

Waiting For A Webpage To Load
hi,

I'm having troubles loading a webpage, waiting for the load to finish, then read the source and get data from it.

What I currently do is this: I use one sub to load the page (using a webcontrol) and then another sub: web1_DocumentComplete that gets the data.

But this is how I would like it to be: I want the .navigate command and the _DocumentComplete in one function, something like this:

Code:
private function get_data(byval site as string)dim source as string
web1.navigate site
**wait for the page to load**
... (code that gets the source from web1)end function
I dont want my script to wait a specified timeperiod, as I want my script to work as fast as possible, and I want it to work for every user.

Anyone knows what code I should use to '**wait for the page to load**' ?

Thx

I Can't Get The Webpage To Load The Next Page!
I'm trying to get my webcontrol to click on the NEXT button so the second page will load. For some reason I keep getting this URL:

http://www.domain.com/javascript:NextPage('1')

here's part of the VB code

Code:
c = wb.Document.body.innerHTML
i = InStr(c, ">Next</A>")
If i = 0 Then
Label5 = "All IDs collected."
Command4_Click
Else
i = InStrRev(c, "href=""", i)
c = Mid(c, i + 6)
i = InStr(c, """")
c = left(c, i - 1)
c = Replace(c, "&", "&")
If left(c, 5) <> "http:" Then c = left(wb.LocationURL, InStr(8, wb.LocationURL, "/")) & c

tmrTimeout.Enabled = True: Recollect = True
wb.Navigate c

here is the HTML:

HTML Code:
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

<td align="right" width="150">
<a href="javascript:NextPage('1')">Next</a> >
</td>

Load Webpage From Browser
Hey gang!

I would like to write a verification script in VBScript that would prompt the user for name and password. It would then check the stored information and if the user has rights to see a page, then it can load the page.

If not, then load a blank page or stop altogether.

I can figure out the user input part, but being able to open a page from the browser is what I need help with.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for your time.

Load A Webpage Once At Start-up Of Program
Hey, i am trying to make one webbrowser navigate to a page at the start of a program, but i don't know how to go about doing it, so any help is appreciated, thanks !

I mean it does it automatically so the user doesn't have to click...

EDIT: Totally forgot about HTML Library components... TX !

Webpage Will Only Load, If A Msgbox Is In The Code
Hi All,

When I navigate to a webpage using:

webbrowser.Navigate("mypage.com")

I can wait for the page to load in my web browser control by doing:

VB Code:
While brWeb.ReadyState <> SHDocVw.tagREADYSTATE.READYSTATE_COMPLETE Application.DoEvents() End While

Now i need to click a button in the web browser programatically by doing (to call the next page):

Item.click()

(where item is the submit button)

The problem is now if I call:

VB Code:
While brWeb.ReadyState <> SHDocVw.tagREADYSTATE.READYSTATE_COMPLETE Application.DoEvents() End While

straight after this it thinks readyState is already complete because it doesn't seem to load the new webbpage in the first place(the url is still the same). It will only load the web page if I put a messagebox in my code after the "item.click".

Why is this? Any ideas what I can do about it? I can't have a message box in there and if I don't it doesn't load the page?!?

Waiting For WebPage Load To Continue Code
Hey guys I need help yet again, good new is I'm starting to get a better handle on things. Right now I'm bringing up a webpage entering a password pressing enter and then I want to wait for the page to load before I perform my next step which will yet again require another page load, and this repeats a few times.
I select buttons with each page load using mouse events, I know I can do this with modyfing the HTML DOM i believe its called but im still trying to understand that, in the meantime, im just working on getting the code to wait for the page to finish loading before it continues.
Currently I have it run a function that has it wait a specified amout of miliseconds before it runs
Thanks in advance!

Dim WinWnd As Long
Dim ButtonHandle As Long
ClStatus = txtClosingStatus.Text
TabW = 100
MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE = &H8000
MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE = &H1
MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = &H2
MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = &H4

Shell "C:Program FilesInternet ExplorerIEXPLORE.EXE http://webprogram", vbMaximizedFocus
WaitMS 5000 'waits 5000 miliseconds
WinWnd = FindWindow("IEFRAME", "http://webprogram- Windows Internet Explorer")

PressString "password", True 'enters the password
WaitMS 500 'waits 500 miliseconds

PressKeyVK keyReturn, True, False, True 'presses the return key

WaitMS 3000 'Waits 3000 miliseconds

If there is someway to replace the WaitMS Function with one to wait until the page loads, thats what i need...thanks!!!

Programatically Clicking Submit In A Web Browser Doesn't Load Next Webpage
Hi,

I load a webpage into my webbrowser and then programatically click the submit button on the page, which should load the next page. The problem is it doesn't unless I place a message box in the code. My code goes something like the following:

Code:
'Currently on webpage 1
input.click() 'the submit button to webpage 2

while axwebbrowser1.readystate <> readystate.complete do
application.DoEvents
end while

msgbox("Only works if this is in")

xxxxxx'Other code to go to other webpages 3, 4,& 5 using the webbrowser.navigate command DoEvents works for this and the webpages are shown

(The syntax may not be quite right on the above as I don't have my code to hand at the moment)

The "application.DoEvents" is never called (this is not because of the syntax btw) readystate is always equal to complete and when I check the URL out it is still on the first page (the submit button one). (There is no point just having the "application.DoEvents" on its own either cos VB doesn't think there are any events to do). VB only goes and loads webpage 2 if the msgbox is there otherwise it will do something like a page not found on webpage 2 and go on to load webpage 3, 4 and 5. Why is this and why doesn't DoEvents work when you are programatically clicking on a webpage, but does when you use the navigate method? Any ideas with what I can do to overcome this problem and have my webpage load and display when .click is called?

Cheers

Shell - App Loads Into Processes?
Hello,

I am writting an application monitor (a service - using ntService ocx) to ensure that my app is always running. Not at log in, but at start up.

The problem I've got is that when I call Shell or ShellExecute from my service the app loads into the processes and does not show on the desktop. When I run the code outside of the service it seems to work okay??

Here is a snippet of my code -

Code:
If Not modAppRunning.CheckForProcByExe(strAppName) Then
' Not found start it
retVal = Shell(notepad.exe, vbNormalFocus)
If retVal <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Started by the Service (" & NTService.DisplayName & ")"
Else
MsgBox "Error With Launch!"
End If
Else
MsgBox "Already Running"
End If
Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there a way round it or a better way of doing it even?

Cheers Al

Shell - App Loads Into Processes Not DeskTop?

Shell Loads App Into Processes And Not Desktop? ***Resolved***
Hello,

I am trying to shell notepad from my app (a service using ntService ocx).
It's telling me that it is loaded, however it is not being displayed on the desktop. I've checked the task manager and it's not there, but it is listed in the processes

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there a better way of doing it? I've also tried using ShellExecute to no avail. Strangely it seems to work okay when I test the code outside of the service??

Here is a my code -

VB Code:
If Not modAppRunning.CheckForProcByExe(strAppName) Then ' Not found start it retVal = Shell(notepad.exe, vbNormalFocus) If retVal <> 0 Then MsgBox "Started by the Service (" & NTService.DisplayName & ")" Else MsgBox "Error With Launch!" End If Else MsgBox "Already Running" End If

Form Loads Twice When I Load It With Forms.Add
I have a strange problem. One of my forms loads twice when loading it with the Forms.Add method, but if I use the {FormName}.Show method it only loads once. It seems to have something to do with the FileListBox being accessed. I have tested this and found that if I comment out the code that accesses the FileListBox the form will only load once as expected using the Forms.Add method.

I have included the project where it is repeatable everytime. Just run the project and you will see that the form frmCheckIn will load twice (you will need to move it to see the second one). All the othe forms load only once.

I used ******* to track the called events and if you look in the folder ******* log you will find a text file that has the tracking information. Search for frmCheckIn.frm.Form_Initialize and you will see that it will reload after the FileListBox Event (frmCheckIn.frm.File1_Click). Now if you comment out the code in the Event the form will only load once (you will need to close one frmCheckin form to rerun or more will open).

If you have trouble deciphering the RSTool trace log let me know...

Now if you close both frmCheckIn forms and use the menu to open the form it will only open once (Operations->Check In Files).

Using VB Code On A Webpage
Hi,

This is a question which has been irritating me for a long time...

I want to make an online VB project, one that has an HTML page and a .dll controller. How do you install it to webhosting? The package and deployment wizard does not seem to do it correctly and the dll does not function.

How can I get a VB app working on my site online using VB code??

Webpage Title
I am thinking of writing a program that will read a title of a (will run on remote machine) webpage and store the title in a file. My program will check the title every hour. The reason for this is, I have a PCanywhere on one machine (ISP using DHCP) so if I want to connect I need to know the public IP Address. If the last and current IP Addresses are differnet it will email me the new Public IP Address.

1. Is there a way to read the title of a webpage without bringing up the browser? If so what controls do I need to use?

2. Is there another way besides what I am thinking to receive the current Public IP Address

Thanks
