IE loading event
-
Hi, I want the details of IE window as soon as IE window is opened either by double clicking from Desktop icon or from Start menu. So is there any event which gets fired when the IE window is opened which I can capture in my program. My program will be a Windows service written in C#. Please let me know how it can be done. Thanks in advance. Sunil

Here is a function I wrote that checks if Internet Exlplorer is running and if it is, the function returns true. You can put this function in a function of a Timer class that executes the IsExplorerRunning function at a specified interval - therefore checking every let's say 100 milliseconds. Let me know if you have any questions. Make sure you include System.Diagnostics: using System.Diagnostics;//put at the beginning //put function in class private bool IsExplorerRunning() { Process[] myProcess = Process.GetProcesses(); int i = 0; try { while (myProcess[i] != null) { if (myProcess[i].ProcessName.ToUpper() == "IEXPLORE") { int i2 = 0; try { while (myProcess[i2] != null) { myProcess[i2].Close(); i2 += 1; } } catch { } return true; } i += 1; } } catch { } int i3 = 0; try { while (myProcess[i3] != null) { myProcess[i3].Close(); i3 += 1; } } catch { } return false; }

Hi, Thanks for your solution. But won't it slow down the system running this code every 100 milliseconds? Regards, Sunil

It works fine on my computer, but I agree there should be a more efficient way of checking. Note the function doesn't contain the code for the Timer object - you can add that to it if you need to. This function checks if Internet Explorer is running. There should be another function which invokes this (IExplorer checking function) The Process object doesn't seem to have a function that checks if a program has started running. If you find a class that has a function that checks that, you don't need the Timer object function to check every so milliseconds.

I may be wrong but I think if you create a new instance of the internet explorer object and one already exists it will take ownership of the running process as for the timer object, I would instead start a running thread and set it to sleep for an acceptable durration of time, upon waking it does the check.

I agree about the thread sleep solution. I didn't have it on a thread though, but it would be better to have it on a separate thread. This was just an example - if you want to you can modify the function so it accepts a ref parameter. Then pass your existing object as a ref parameter to this function.
