Hello,

I need to have the browser history per tab. So i want a list like that:
Tab 1: www.google.at -> www.windows.at -> www.glert.at
Tab 2: XXX -> XXX -> XXX
Tab 3: .....

And so on: If the Users manuelly refreshes (Enter, F5,..) i want to clear the list of the tab (so basicaly only references/hrefs) should count. What is the best way to achive this? Is there in WindowStateChange oder DocumentComplete a way to get the id of the tab?

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards,
Harald

Short update:

I found a possible solution (right now i am not sure if it's 100% save). In DocumentComplete event i get the url to store and the this.HTMLDocument.referrer the referrer (empty if enter or refresh or so on). IE starts a new instance of the toolbar for every tab. So i just save the history in an class variable as ArrayList. So i have the history of every tab :)

Is that correct and a possible solution?


One more question: The DocumentComplete is always called twice, any idea about this?

Thanks and kind regards,
Harald

Hi Harald,

Yes, this is the correct solution. You can read more info about the 'referer' property here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752603(v=vs.85).aspx

Please try to use the DocumentComplete2 event of iemoddule instead of DocumentComplete.
E.g. 

private void IEModule_DocumentComplete2(object pDisp, string url, bool rootDocLoaded)
{
    if (rootDocLoaded)
    {
        // run your code here
    }
}
