I'm working on a program that automatically re-posts Craigslist posts in a batch form.
I'm executing a method called arrayTest() that contains a line webBrowser1.Navigate(urls[i]);. This will get a URL from an Array and have the webBrowser1 open it. After that is executed, the clickRepost(); method is called. This method simulates a button click. But the method executes before the webBrowser1 gets to finish opening the URL.
What i need help on is telling the program to wait for the webBrowser1 to finish opening the URL before moving on to the next method.
What i have tried so far:
Task t = Task.Run(() => {
webBrowser1.Navigate(urls[i]);
})
t.wait();
clickRepost();
This still causes for clickRepost() to not let webBrowser1 finish loading the URL. I also tried to add System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) in between calling methods but as it does so in Java, it only shuts the program for x-Seconds.
This is a segment of my program, really the only ones I'm having trouble with.
private void arrayTest()
{
String[] urls = CLLinks.Text.Split('\n');
for (int i = 0; i < urls.Length; i++)
{
log.AppendText("Opening Url...\n");
webBrowser1.Navigate(urls[i]);
log.AppendText("Reposting...\n");
clickRepost();
log.AppendText("Checking Completion...");
webBrowser1.Navigate(urls[i]);
completionCheck();
}
}
private void CLRenBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
arrayTest();
}
private void completionCheck()
{
HtmlElementCollection col = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input");
foreach (HtmlElement item in col)
{
if (!(item.GetAttribute("value") == "Renew this Posting"))
{
log.AppendText("Renew Posting does not exist");
}
else
{ }
}
}
private void clickRepost()
{
HtmlElementCollection col = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input");
foreach (HtmlElement item in col)
{
if (item.GetAttribute("value") == "Renew this Posting")
{
item.InvokeMember("click");
}
else
{}
}
}
CLRenBtn_Click Is the button i press on the form to start the Re-posting. arrayTest() will be changed to a more relevant name. At the time i was just testing whether this would work. And im planning on merging clickRepost() and completionCheck() since they do the same thing.
Many thanks in advance!
