MATLAB code to read status update message appearing in the web page (Internet Explorer in MATLAB GUI)

Hello,

In a GUI, I have an HTML viewer in the MATLAB figure using the following command actxcontrol('Shell.Explorer.2',[5, 150, 5000, 575], gcf); I call specific web pages based on my requirements and that part is working very fine.

The user interaction with this web page produces status update message on the web page which I would like to read.How do we read only those status update messages that appears on the screen? I know the x, y position of the screen where the message appears.

Please help. Thank you

Its is a game web page that I display on the MATLAB GUI. Based on the mouse click performed on the page, the web page provides a status update message as "Completed" or "Not completed" If the message is "completed" (it happens only if the click is accurately done) I would like to show the next web page, otherwise wait for the right mouse click until 60 seconds elapse and show the next web page.

Use event handlers to the actxcontrol object. rewrite the code statement in the MATLAB command window as

h = actxcontrol('Shell.Explorer.2',[5, 150, 5000, 575], gcf);

then type h.events to know about the events associated with this object

Then register appropriate event and write a function for that event.

More details are available in the following link http://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/using-events.html

Please reply if anybody has tried writing eventhandle function for the Shell.Explorer.2
