firefox browser busy flag

[jackson_thom]

Hello,

one of my application has to be on firefox browser, so my labview program has to communicate to "outside" labview by doing something thru firefox. 

is there a way to know whether the firefox had finished loading a page? maybe a DLL or something for me to poll in labview to decide the page is loaded?

thanks.

Don't know about Firefox, but you can embed a built in Microsoft browser (which I assume uses IE, or possibly Edge by now) and use .NET events to see that the page has loaded. You can see an example, which shows the event (but not the callback VI) here - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Mouse-event-in-embedded-internet-explorer/m-p/2853528#M832248

A quick search does indicate that there are other web browser controls which you can embed, but I didn't dig in to see what kind of feedback they give you.

Thanks tst,

initially i was using embedded internet explorer, but this specific case it has to be firefox. i wonder if firefox can similar status flag like internet explorer.

or worse case is i put delay and hope it loaded on time
