How to tell my program to wait until it has completed a task before it do a next task - programtesting28 - Dec 17, 2014

I have a program that is works fine one minute but as soon as my internet connection slows it stops working.

This is because I have everything set by timers.

I have tried slowing the intervals and still it messes up from time to time.

There must be a way for the program to wait until it has completed one task and then automatically carry out the next task instead of hooking the next task up to a timer.

Here is an example of what I mean:

Code 
WebBrowser1.navigate("http://www.google.com") 

    [IF COMPLETED THEN MOVE ON TO NEXT TASK] 

    WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("gbqfba").InvokeMember("click")

I'm pulling my hair out trying to work it figure it out lol

Thanks before 🤝😏

Here ya go.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.documentcompleted.aspx

so you could do

Code 
Private Property pageready As Boolean = False

Private Sub Load()

    WebBrowser1.navigate("http://www.google.com")

    WaitForPageLoad()

    WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("gbqfba").InvokeMember("click")

End Sub

#Region "Page Loading Functions"

    Private Sub WaitForPageLoad()

      AddHandler Webbrowser1.DocumentCompleted, New WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(AddressOf PageWaiter)

      While Not pageready

      Application.DoEvents()

      End While

      pageready = False

    End Sub

    Private Sub PageWaiter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs)

      If Webbrowser1.ReadyState = WebBrowserReadyState.Complete Then

      pageready = True

      RemoveHandler Webbrowser1.DocumentCompleted, New WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler(AddressOf PageWaiter)

      End If

    End Sub

#End Region
