Making webbrowser focus on one part of a website

Hey

Can anyone tell me / help me find the solution to this:

Is there anyway i can have a webbrowser only show the top two or three tweets from a twitter account? (https://twitter.com/pewdiepie)
Like, remove all the other objects on the page, and then center the tweets in the webbrowser?

Im kinda guessing that without some hardcore coding i will only be able to show ALL the tweets, not just the two or three newest.

Here is a code i found for hiding website objects from being shown in the browser:

Code:

---

Dim ele = _
            ( _
                From X In WebBrowser3.Document.GetElementsByTagName("div").Cast(Of HtmlElement)() _
                Where X.GetAttribute("id") = "[ID OF ELEMENT]" Select X
            ).FirstOrDefault

        If ele IsNot Nothing Then
            ele.Style = "Display:none"
        End If

---

I don't know how this works, but if there would be any options like replacing

Code:

---

ele.Style = "Display:none"

---

with

Code:

---

ele.Style = "Display:only"

---

or something like that, to only show the object in question, we would be half way there :P

Anyone got any ideas? :) Thanks for all replies. (I apologize for my bad english)

Anyone? :O

I have to say I can't really see any point to this but I did try a few ideas without success. If you wanted to extract the first few and transfer them to a new page or another control that would probably be possible but if you want to retain the rest of the page then it looks like a bit of a dead end.

I wouldn't neccesarily need to keep the tweets in the webbrowser. I could just set that to webbrowser.visible = false then have the tweets show up in some other kind of control. (Like putting them in labels.)

The main point is that i need the two or three (Hopefully three) tweets to show up somewhere so you can easily read it.

Ok here you go. The function returns HTML so show the results in a webbrowser (wb1 in this case)

vb.net Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        wb1.DocumentText = ""
        wb1.Document.Write(Get3Tweets("https://twitter.com/pewdiepie"))
    End Sub
 
    Private Function Get3Tweets(ByVal url As String) As String
        Dim wc As New Net.WebClient
        Dim htm = wc.DownloadString(url)
        Dim wb As New WebBrowser With {.DocumentText = ""}
        wb.Document.Write(htm)
        Dim tweets = From t In wb.Document.GetElementsByTagName("p") Where CType(t, HtmlElement).GetAttribute("classname") = "js-tweet-text"
        Dim s As New System.Text.StringBuilder
        For i = 0 To 2
            s.Append("<p>" & CType(tweets(i), HtmlElement).InnerHtml)
        Next
        wb.Dispose()
        Return s.ToString
    End Function
End Class

Well... Ehm... minor problem. (Unrelated to the code you sent me) but im still gonna ask:

I have two groupboxes that show statistics and ranking. The webbrowser "wb1" is layed on top of those.
I was planing to hide the groupboxes by "GroupBox1.visible = false" and "GroupBox2.visible = false". And set the webbrowser to visible = true.

But the webbrowser is apperantly "connected" to the groupboxes as if it is a control within them. And when i hide the groupboxes, the webbrowser doesn't show because of it.

Can i seperate the webbrowser from the groupboxes somehow? (While having both the groupboxes and the webbrowser at the same location?

Nevermind. Fixed it.
Used alot of [Name of control].location = New Point(#, #)

I've been trying to adopt dunfiddlin code to be able to get data back from :

Code:

---

<div class="content"> some text <br /></div>

---

...but i'm having a hard time. could someone guide me to the solution?

If you can guide me to the problem! :confused:

hehe :)

well, im trying to get the the "some text" from the

Code:

---

<div class="content"> some text <br /></div>

---

i tried changing

Code:

---

("classname") = "js-tweet-text"

---

to

Code:

---

("classname") = "content"

---

but no luck. did other changes to but none seemed to work :(
