Hi,

I have a connection to an active Internet explorer window, where I call the Navigate2 method to download a http page. After calling this navigate method I would like to stop the current thread processing and wait for the web browser to completely download the page.

I currently have the following code,

m_webBrowser.Navigate2(URL);

while(m_webBrowser.GetBusy())
{
DWORD res = WaitForSingleObjectEx(m_webBrowser.GetBrowserWnd (),20000,TRUE);
}

but the method GetBusy() of web browser returns false after only a couple of milliseconds, but I know full well that the page is not yet downloaded. Also the function WaitForSingleObjectEx returns in a complete state.

What I woul ideally like to do is stop within this while loop and wait until the web browser has completely loaded the page, where I can then call the GetHtmlDocument method.

Any ideas
Thanks OMG | :OMG:

Hmmm, I don't know. GetBusy has worked fine for me in the past, but then again I was using Navigate not Navigate2. I don't know why in your case it returns false before it should...

As an alternative, you may wanna use the OnDownloadComplete event handler and have it signal an event that you then check inside WaitForSingleObject. I've never done that before; I used your technique and it worked fine.

Good luck!

Hi,

I am writing an app which communicates with a server using tcp/ip sockets over the internet. What I want to be able to do is add support for connecting via a SOCKS5 proxy server. Has anyone got any suggestions for how to go about it?

Any ideas
Cheers
Peter

On NT, use MoveFileEx(). On 9x/Me, you need to edit %WINDIR%\wininit.ini. On 95, it should look like:

[rename]
NUL=C:\your\file\here.exe

On 98/Me it's easier and can be done with WritePrivateProfileString():

[NUL]
c:\your\file\here.exe=1

Be aware that this file gets processed in real mode DOS, so you must use only short filenames.

AFAIK, the only way is to use CBT hook and respond to HCBT_ACTIVATE notification. If you're not allergic to Visual Basic you may find KB article Q180936 helpful. It's titled 'HOWTO: Position a MsgBox Using a Windows Hook Procedure'

Nope! You cannot!

If you are very specific about where you want it to come you can write your version of MessageBox and call it instead of using the standard MessageBox.

I am not sure, but there should be something in CP!

Do you mean "does MSDN include docs for windows XP development"? If so, yes it does. Furthermore, the last Platform SDK (now called something else, Windows SDK I think) include everything you need for XP (but not .NET)

Cheers

The MSDN library CD runs on Windows XP, there is no special version. The library contains technical information on creating applications using the new XP feature set.

It a bit of a joke. It is supposed to be the first recursive name. GNU can be expanded like:

GNU
GNU´s not UNIX
GNU´s not´s UNIX not UNIX
GNU´s not´s UNIX not´s UNIX not UNIX
.....

It was introduced by Richard Stallmann, who started Free Software Foundation and has made countless valuable contributions to the computer society (like emacs). Most of the linux operating system is based on GNU software (although Torvalds gets the honor for the kernel). The reason for creating GNU and GPL (GNU General Public Licence) was to fight Non-Free software (like UNIX), where the source is not available, and the user is bound by his licence. GPL does not prohibit any use of the source, as long as the final product is also released under GPL. There is also a lesser strict licence mostly used by GNU libraries, allowing developers to use GNU compilers (like gcc) to build non-free applications.

It does not have any literal meaning. It is a word,"gnu" as I already told you, which is an animal's name. Later on, they added this recursive expansion, partly in humor

Nish is right. The central part here is "Not UNIX", which would give an recursive acronyme like '_NU'. One of the few english words that would fit that template would be 'gnu'...

- Yep, I think you are right and smart. You must be a fan of UNIX.

- Well, another question arises in my head. I do not know why they do not use the UNIX kernel and write a new version of their own. Why not just implement the binaries of UNIX and use the UNIX kernel? It is a nice kernel, isn't it?

The keyword is "Free software" (guess that is two words). In Swedish there are two different words: "gratis", meaning "free of cost" and "fri", meaning free in the liberty sense. GNU software use both definitions. That means you can do all the things below:

(From the GNU hompage)

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

There is a whole family of UNIX-like OS:es and kernels, like BSD, freeBSD, Linux, AIX, XENIX, HP-UX, SCO, Solaris.... Most of them are not "Free" in any definition and does not make the source available. GNU did not write any kernel, but provide a lot of functionality that make up the OS, like the most common shellcommands (Fileutils).

Stallman himself is an idealist and don't use any "Non-Free" software.
