[RESOLVED] Whats the best way to display website info?

Wondering, what's the best way to display text from a website to your form?

webbrowser control.

Aside from using a webbrowser control.

Like if I just want to display some text from a website to a label on my form.

You can use Inet for that.

Add a Command button, a label and the Inet control (Microsoft Internet Transfer Control in the components list) to your form

The code below gets the text from your starting post and shows it in a label.

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim strText As String
    Dim x As Long, y As Long
   
    strText = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=529677")
   
    y = InStr(1, strText, "<!-- message -->")
    If y Then
        x = InStr(y + 20, strText, ">")
        If x Then
            y = InStr(x, strText, "</div>")
            If y Then
                Label1.Caption = Mid$(strText, x + 1, (y - x) - 1)
            End If
        End If
    End If
End Sub
