I am new to c# and its concepts, so i am sorry if this question is kind of dumb. I try to do some automatation using the winforms webbrowser control
elements = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input");
foreach (HtmlElement element in elements)
{
if (element.GetAttribute("value") == "Anzeigen")
element.InvokeMember("click");
}
while (webBrowser1.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete) Application.DoEvents();
// do some math on recived html
// ......
// show results
MessageBox.Show(numPlanets.ToString() );
So, to explain it: Im looking for a Button with the value "Anzeigen", simulate a click on it, then wait till NEW page is loaded and do my calculations then. Unfortunately my calculations are done on the OLD HTML content, because its not waiting for the page to load. Strangely if i enter an Thread.Sleep(5000); after the foreach loop, this Sleep is executed BEFORE the click is simulated, and the calculation fails also.
I just need some synchronous behavior for that click, withouth using an event.
Hope u can help me with that, sorry for my bad english
EDIT: Solved it like this: Variable bool webbbrowserfinished = false inside the class, if i want synchronous behavior, i do it like this:
webbrowserfinished = false;
// do navigation here
while (!webbrowserfinished)
{
Application.DoEvents();
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
webbrowserfinished = false;
You can try WebBrowser.DocumentCompleted Event Occurs when the WebBrowser control finishes loading a document.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.Navigate("google.com");
webBrowser1.DocumentCompleted += new WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted);
}
void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Completed Now!");
}
