its a custom control that inherits from WebBrowser ctrl so you can use it just a normal WebBrowser control

Sometimes Busy runs into infinite loop and even if the document is fully loaded it stills considered as Busy...(especially if we have some async calls in the web document) Trying to figure this out .. but will be happy If you give suggestions :)

Hello, thank a lot. I implemented it, have still to test it in my scenario, because I don'r really understand it yet.
If I run the NavigateAndWait() in a separate thread, than I have to write a thread.join? Ineed the thread , because I run the Browser in separate windows and so I can also access the GUI of main window.
Another question is, to make sure the document is loaded after InvokeMember("click") on htmlElement, is it enought to call the
ClearCounters();
htmlElements[i].InvokeMember("click"));
WaitUntilComplete();
?
