Better way should be hooking Internet Explorer for events detecting....
I suggest first to take a look here

and also this good answer by DragonSlayer here

BTW : how to grab the content of the IE ? Can i copy the HTML data to a memo box ?

Ferruccio Accalai

BdLm can you explain your comment?

BdLm

grabing the URL is a well known methode, i was just thinking about also reading out the HTML
content of the IE. I think about methode will not work for this add. problem ?

NOP...i've asked just to understand if you were asking something related to this question or just trying to suggest something else....
BTW the question point to how to save typed urls, not html content....

IE_Handle := FindWindowEx(IE_Handle, 0, 'ComboBoxEx32', nil);
if IE_Handle <> 0 then
begin
// WE FOUND THE IT ADDRESS EDIT
SendMessage(IE_Handle, WM_GETTEXT, sizeof(URL), Integer(@URL[0]));

BdLm

i just was thinking, if this modification of your code will bring the html content also

IE_Handle := FindWindowEx(IE_Handle, 0, 'ComboBoxEx32', nil);
if IE_Handle <> 0 then
begin
// WE FOUND THE html CONTENT
SendMessage(IE_Handle, WM_GETTEXT, sizeof(???), Integer(@????[0]));

BdLm, that's not my code, and i'll like to stay related to this Q. (you should ask a new Q. for this)...
BTW the content can't be grabbed that way....

Now, about the Kristao question, take a look also at this very good component coded by rllibby (also available on torry.net)
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20850691/intercepting-internet-explorer-messages.html

It's IEEvent to catch every Internet explorer event (maybe could be useful for you to BdLm)...
