Web Browser Control
When using the web browser control in VB6 SP3, can I use a different browser than IE11? I have 3 browsers. No browser is listed as my current browser.
Thanks

no. you will need to find controls for the other browsers, eg "chromium embedded framework"

Re: Web Browser Control
Maybe I am looking at my problem the hard way. I have been using the Microsoft reference "Microsoft WINHTTP Services, Version 5.1", to access web pages and parse the data for my needs. The web site has changed from http to https. This reference no longer works. Several years ago I got a tip from this forum to use some security code to get past the https. It does not always work.
With HttpRequest
.Open "GET", "http://WHATEVER", True
.Open "GET", "https://www.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/intchart.asp", True
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_SecureProtocols) = SecureProtocol_ALL
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_EnableRedirects) = True
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_UserAgentString) = "IE11"
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_EnableHttpsToHttpRedirects) = True
.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_SslErrorIgnoreFlags) = 13056
' 13056: ignore all err, 0: accept no err
.Send
End With
I do not believe there is an updated reference from MSFT to solve my problem. So I tried using the web browser control. Does the "chromium embedded framework" get added to VB6 or Google Chrome. If chrome, what command do I need to add into VB6?
Thanks

Re: Web Browser Control
Any action that violates the terms of service of a third party is against the acceptable use policy of this site. In this case, you mentioned a site that explicitly states that "You agree to access the Services manually by request and not programmatically by macro or other automated means." Therefore, do not ask further questions about this.
