how to wait for axBroswer DownloadComplet e in a loop?

I've a wrapper class around axBrowser which logs into a site,
navigates to a data page and harvests info from it.

It works fine for a single data page (passing it a key for the data),
but my next task is to put it in a loop so that I can retrieve
multiple pages of data.

My problem is that how can I control the loop such that it won't try
and get the next page of data until the previous one has completed -
bearing in mind that I have to wait until the axBrowser has signalled
that its done the download by firing the DownloadComplet e event.

I think the logic would be something like this but I'm not sure how to
code this in C#:

1. Create new browser wrapper object (bwo).
2. Get a list of keys for the bwo to harvest data for.
3. Start loop of all keys.
4. Call Navigate2 in bwo to navigate to the correct data page using
the current key.
5. Wait until bwo has signalled that its fired DownloadComplet e and
got the data and has returned ok.
6. Jump back to 3 until all keys have been read.
Browser wrapper has the following standard axBrowser methods:
Navigate2 - to go to the desired data page.
DownloadComplet e - called when the data page is downloaded - could be
any length of time after Navigate2 called. Fires an event to signal
that we've done this page.

I've an inkling that I'll need to use threading, but I'm not sure how
to go about it and also that the axBroswer in single threaded which
may make it more interesting?

Thanks in advance for any help

I have tried to write a wait function but it seems like it will not brake the while loop. I tried two different solutions. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, and come with another suggestion? If I call the function like this: wait(500); it should wait 500ms right? function wait(time) { while(1){ setTimeout("break;",time); } }

Hi, I've omitted a large chunk of the code for clarity but the loop below is how I'm calling a delegate function asynchronously.

Is there a better way to make the thread wait until all calls are complete besides using the counter? I've seen some things...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
