am not sure if these are hex values converted from letters

[jmsrickland]

I have never tried to display those special symbols on a webbrowser. Those symbols are from special font sets and are displayed when you type in the letter or number for that font.

Have you tried to change fonts for the browser? I think there is a <font.....> HTML tag. Try that. Like <font = "windings...>

[ladoo]

i understand what i need

here is the test code html

<font face="WEBDINGS">&hearts;

i need something in vb6 to convert our keyboard keys to html values like
& #1758;

[jmsrickland]

This works

WebBrowser1.document.write "<font face='Wingdings'>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890"

All you need to do is to figure out what characters you need to show the symbols you want to display

I tried all characters for Wingding but none of them were like what you showed in your 1st post.

Also, did you know that you can create your own fonts and add them to the system? Of course, your clients would also have to have this home-made font set.

The image shows all characters on a WebBrowser for Wingdings that I have

just wat i wanted thanks jim sir respect

[ladoo]

how do i send 1 icon out with message ?

[jmsrickland]

For additional symbols you need to also do all characters, not just keyboard characters. Like Chr(0) to Chr(255) and as I think you already know there is Wingdings2 and Wingdings3

[ladoo]

[ladoo]

1: how do i move WebBrowser1.document.write "<font face='Wingdings'>H" to webbrowser2

[jmsrickland]

I quess I don't understand your problem. When I use this:

WebBrowser1.document.write "<font face='Wingdings'>H"

it prints a hand with fore-finger pointing down on the WebBrowser

As far as below goes:

strOutput = strUserName & WebBrowser1 & ": " & strMessage
ProcessHTML "<font size=" & "2" & ">", strOutput, Web

I don't know what is the the variables and I don't understand why you are sending WebBrowser1 as part of the string

[ladoo]

webbrowser1 holds the icon right ? i want o send that icon along my message

[jmsrickland]

1: how do i move WebBrowser1.document.write "<font face='Wingdings'>H" to webbrowser2

Don't know what you mean by 'move' to webbrowser2. Why wouldn't you just write to webbrowser2

[ladoo]

omg i done it hahhahahhahahhhah omg

let me show u picture yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss hahhah

[jmsrickland]

webbrowser1 holds the icon right ? i want o send that icon along my message

WebBrowser1.document.write "<font face = 'Tahoma'>Hello, ladoo, how are you doing</font><font size=9 face='Wingdings'>H</font><font face = 'Tahoma'>what are you doing</font>"

Or, do you mean this:

"Hello, ladoo, how are you<img src = 'http://<----URL--->'>"

[ladoo]

omg i done it hahhahahhahahhhah omg
now all i need to do is type alphabets or numerics yes thanks jim for your help here look at it


this isssue i found is in module when proccess html was called the process html area has a replace code like this

If InStr(strText, "Wingdings") Then strText = Replace(strText, "Wingdings", "arial")

 If InStr(strText, "Webdings") Then strText = Replace(strText, "Webdings", "arial")

changed to

If InStr(strText, "Wingdings") Then strText = Replace(strText, "Wingdings", "Wingdings")

 If InStr(strText, "Webdings") Then strText = Replace(strText, "Webdings", "Webdings")

and now fine

[jmsrickland]

Well, that's what I showed you in post 17

[ladoo]

thanks allot jim , your help is always appreciated no matter what

[jmsrickland]

Duh, why do you replace Wingdings with Wingdings?

If InStr(strText, "Wingdings") Then strText = Replace(strText, "Wingdings", "Wingdings")

[ladoo]

yeh i disabled it this module was stripped out of some other source so now i have disabled this line, i didnt addd that line this was the line that gave me problems adding the webdings after i removed this it worked
