Ahh, so it's an IHTMLWindow2 interface you're after. But what about this
function:

Function:
IBrowserService::GetNavigateState (BNSTATE *pbnstate);

Assuming you can find an IBrowserService interface somewhere (which I'm
guessing you can find examples of online). Then you can call this function
to get the current navigate state, maybe by polling, or by hooking a
navigation-related event.

There are 3 states according to the help file:

BNS_NORMAL
          The normal state.
BNS_BEGIN_NAVIGATE
          A begin navigation event has occurred.
BNS_NAVIGATE
          A navigation event has occurred.

I assume that:

BNS_NAVIGATE == TRUE navigate event happened
BNS_BEGIN_NAVIGATE == FALSE

adds up to NAVIGATE completed or abandoned.

Given the millions of functions it must be possible to work out which is the
case!
