While trying to figure out how to make the recently posted (by Paul Rubin)
ie navigation example work, I had occasion to run makepy.py on "Microsoft
Internet Controls". After doing this, the sample would fail on "ie.visible =
1". Removing the generated file would return the sample to working order.
Sample:
from win32com.client import DispatchEx
import time
ie = DispatchEx('internetexplorer.application')
ie.visible = 1
ie.navigate('http://www.w3.org')
time.sleep(2) # let the browser get to it, but sloppy - how to wait on
browser ready?
dom = ie.document
I'm also interested, as the comment suggests, on how to wait for a browser
to finish navigating before I query it's state? Come to think of it, is
there any way to get back an error status like <ahem> "403"? :)
