Save a webpage to a HTML file?

[Smirre]

Hi!

Anyone know how to save a webpage to a HTML file stored on my computer? Can this be done with the Microsoft Internet Controls (A ref, not a control)?

This should be done without any msgbox ,etc....

hi yes you can do it with IE5.ocx in VB , what you need to do is right click on the page you want and then save it in a folder , remember this ocx is the same ocx like IE5


i hope this helps

Well, after about 2 minutes of sitting and using my brain I came up with up with an idea.

Retrieve -> HTML Source -> Write to file -> .htm (or .html).

^I thought of all this..all by myself!

And you said referenced? Ok.

Dim ie As New InternetExplorer

Private Sub Command1_Click()
     Dim strHTML As String
     strHTML = ie.Document.documentElement.innerHTML

     Open "C:\htmlfile.htm" For Output As #1
          Print #1, strHTML
     Close #1
End Sub

But you'd have to go to the page first.

If you would rather not go to the page first, you could look into the URLDownloadToFile API function.

DownloadFile "http://www.vb-world.net", "c:\vbworld.htm"

But I like the first way better, I think it'd be much quicker. Plus, you could always keep the referenced browser's visibility to false and just surf to it and get it's source. I think it'd be much quicker than using the API function.
