HTML of web page into VB3 textbox..

They made a VB3? Wow how old are you?


Live in the now....

well, if you can get me a free copy of VB6 then hand it over :D
I bought VB3 for $3, which was a good deal, considering it came with about 70 examples, but I cant find any way to get a web page onto it.

is there a way I can shell internet explorer onto a page that will copy the HTML of another page and write it t a text file or something??

thanks for your help...

You could do what you want very easily with a Microsoft Internet Transfer Control. This control, however, is a 32 bit control and comes with VB6. I stared VB programming back in '93 with VB3. There ain't no such thing with that version.

What control could he use with VB3 to access the internet?

When VB3 was popular, there were no internet controls for VB (at least none of which I'm aware). You could probably use the 16 bit version of ShellExecute to open a web page, but I don't believe retrieving web page source is something that could be done with the click of a button.

is there any way I could make a page, in perl or php or something, that would retrieve the HTML of a certain web page??

if so, how could I do it??

thanks,
