Does anyone know how to (in visual basic 6.0) detect if a certain web page has been opened? I am not that good in vb yet when using commands that work with the user32 or any of that fun stuff…(ugh). My last thread in vb REALLY helped me alot so im hoping for the same here. If this is at all possible please let me know! :D

It's easy if your trying to detect the website being visited in the Microsoft Internet Control if your using it in you application.

Detecting whether…
-The site is currently being loaded?
-The user has opened the site in the past?
-The site is currently open in a browser?

Site = Inet.OpenURL("URL",something)
If(Str(Site)"Site text Here"))Then
Blah
End If

I use a NavigateAndWait in my webbased applications..

Private Sub NavigateAndWait(ByVal URL As String)
    'Navigate to a URL, and wait for it to fully display.
    Dim StartTime As Long
    StartTime = timeGetTime
    StatusBar1.Panels(3).Text = ""
    ProgressBar1.Visible = True
    MousePointer = vbHourglass
    CurrentURL = ""
    WebBrowser1.Navigate URL
    Do Until CurrentURL > ""
        DoEvents
    Loop
    MousePointer = vbDefault
    ProgressBar1.Visible = False
    StatusBar1.Panels(3).Text = "Elapsed: " & Format((timeGetTime - StartTime) / 1000, "#.00") & " seconds"
End Sub

Which basically loads the page and waits untill it is loaded.

If your doing anything on the pages you can check if the page contains certain code..

Private Function WebPageContains(ByVal s As String) As Boolean
    'Returns whether or not the web page contains a certain phrase.
    Dim I As Long, HTMLElement
    For I = 1 To WebBrowser1.Document.All.length
        Set HTMLElement = WebBrowser1.Document.All.Item(I)
        If Not (HTMLElement Is Nothing) Then
            If InStr(1, HTMLElement.innerHTML, s, vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
                WebPageContains = True
                Exit Function
            End If
        End If
    Next I
End Function

My application was simply a bot for Dark-Future and Pimp Area, which combined my own OCR and script for crimes and stuff.

i was thinking of something that would run on a timer…that will detect a certain website being opened or IS open (on any bowser)…lets take runesacpe for example…cause we all love that game…

tmr
tryandfindwebsite
iffound…
nernerner
endif
endsub…

that kinda thing…so that if i have it running it will detct certain websites that opens from anywhere(anybowser) on my comp.

kinda make sense now?
buckleyindahouse-i think that might work..im going to test it soon
rogeruk-sigh…now your getting to complex for my small little brain.. :) That is for just opening a website though right?

The navigate and wait will simply navigate to a page and wait for it to load ^_^.

You want to detect if ANY browser has runescape open? as in Firefox etc?. If so the aboves are not gonna work lol.

Yah-i kinda want something like a internet block-but it just KNOWS when the site is up. (Im trying to record my total time on) *also my brothers*

You should take this question to a news group, and just so they can understand you, word it somewhat like this:

Is there a way I can detect if another program (In this case, a web browser) has a certain property for an element (In this case, with the web browser, if a web page is being viewed)?

Total time on what?, the PC? using a browser? Runescape only?

R0b0t1- thanks, ill try that

rogeruk- i want to be able to record total time on just runescape, running from any web browser.
