I'm using .NET WebBrowser control. How do I know when a web page is fully loaded?
I want to know when the browser is not fetching any more data. (The moment when IE writes 'Done' in its status bar...).
Notes:
Here's what finally worked for me:
public bool WebPageLoaded
{
get
{
if (this.WebBrowser.ReadyState != System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserReadyState.Complete)
return false;
if (this.HtmlDomDocument == null)
return false;
// iterate over all the Html elements. Find all frame elements and check their ready state
foreach (IHTMLDOMNode node in this.HtmlDomDocument.all)
{
IHTMLFrameBase2 frame = node as IHTMLFrameBase2;
if (frame != null)
{
if (!frame.readyState.Equals("complete", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
return false;
}
}
Debug.Print(this.Name + " - I think it's loaded");
return true;
}
}
On each document complete event I run over all the html element and check all frames available (I know it can be optimized). For each frame I check its ready state. It's pretty reliable but just like jeffamaphone said I have already seen sites that triggered some internal refreshes. But the above code satisfies my needs.
Edit: every frame can contain frames within it so I think this code should be updated to recursively check the state of every frame.
