How do you read html source?

Hi,

Can anyone please write a sample program for me telling how to read html sourcecode? I get really confused when people just give a function and nothing else cause I dont know too much.

Thanks

You can do it through a few ways.

1) MSInet Control (not reliable)
2) Winsock
3) URLDownloadToFile API function
4) WebBrowser Control:

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text1.Text = WebBrowser1.Document.DocumentElement.innerHTML
End Sub

---

4a)

Code:

---

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Private Function GetHTML(site As String) As String
    Dim IE As Object
    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    IE.Navigate (site)
    Do While IE.busy = True
        Sleep 500
    Loop
    GetHTML = IE.Document.body.innerhtml
    Set IE = Nothing
End Function


Usage


Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text1.Text = GetHTML("http://www.vb-world.net")
End Sub
