Refresh/Reload a web page

I need to programmatically Refresh/Reload a web page (a page that is not mine) in a Browser (I use Firefox or Opera). Currently I do this by mouse click, but the refresh needs to be repeated every minute and the programmatic mouse click therefore renders the actual mouse useless - I want to leave the Browser on one screen and get on with other tasks on my other screen.
Code: Select all
Procedure RefreshWebPage()
;#------------------------
;Programmatic Mouse Click on Web Page Refresh/Reload Button
Protected In.INPUT
In\type = #INPUT_MOUSE
In\mi\dwFlags = #MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN
SetCursorPos_(igCurPosX, igCurPosY) ;center of button in relation to screen
SendInput_(1,@In,SizeOf(INPUT))
In\mi\dwFlags = #MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP
SendInput_(1,@In,SizeOf(INPUT))
EndProcedure

Hi Rashad
I'll try that. Ideal solution would be to use the WebGadget but it draws the web pages very badly

Hi Kiffi
Yes, if by new one you mean PB6.04 LTS. It renders a 6 image x 6 image arrangement as a 1 x 36 arrangement (1 huge column).
I thought WebKit was going to be used for Windows too, but apparently it is still Internet Explorer 4.0?

No, I mean the WebGadget that is delivered with version 6.10. If you add the #PB_Web_Edge flag there, WebView2 is used (under Windows). This is pretty much the most modern browser engine you can use.

Wow, I didn't know that as I hardly use PB these days - I was just going to implement the registry code here:

So, I'd better install PB 6.10 then!

OMG! The #PB_Web_Edge flag fixed the main issue and other little issues too!
Thanks Kiffi
