Save a webpage to a HTML file?

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! :rolleyes:

And you said referenced? Ok.

Code:

---

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.

Code:

---

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.
