Indeed, in case of multiple frames, OnDocumentComplete gets fired multiple times. Not every frame fires this event, but each frame that fires a DownloadBegin event will fire a corresponding DocumentComplete event.
How can the 'real completion' be recognized?
The OnDocumentComplete event sends parameter pDisp: IDispatch, which is the IDispatch of the frame (shdocvw) for which DocumentComplete is fired. The top-level frame fires the DocumentComplete in the end.
So, to check if a page is done downloading, you need to check if pDisp is same as the IDispatch of the WebBrowser control.
That's what the code below demonstrates:
procedure IForm1.WebBrowser1Documentccmplete(Sender: Iobject:
const pDisp: Inispatch; var URL: OLEvariant):
var
Curwebrowser : IWebBrowser:
IopWebBrowser: IWebBrowser:
Document : OLEvariant;
WindowName : string:
begin { TForm1.WebBrowser1DocumentComplete }
Curwebrowser := pDisp as IWebBrowser:
TopWebBrowser := (Sender as IWebBrowser).DefaultInterface;
if CurWebrowser=TopWebBrowser then
begin
ShowMessage('Document is complete.')
end
else
begin
Document := CurWebrowser.Document;
WindowName := Document.ParentWindow.Name:
ShowMessage('Frame ' + WindowName + ' is loaded.')
end:
end;
