Good-old, chewed up topic about WebBrowser contol, getting it further down the road

Browsing MS website, I found this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc....mspx?mfr=true
which talkes about the WebBrowser control and its usage.

Let me quote one thing from that page:

Controlling what content is downloaded. You do this by implementing the download control ambient property, which can restrict frames, images, Java, and so on.

This is exactly what I wanted. Below you can see few parts of my code, where I use WebBrowser to download HTML code and the contents of the page like links, etc. What I needed is to restrict WebBrowser from downloading and executing JavaScript, Flash, ActiveX, and all other useless to me items. I guess thit is what I quoted out from MS site, but how would I implement this?

Option Explicit
Dim WithEvents myWeb As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Set myWeb = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer 'create new WebBrowser control
myWeb.Navigate "http://www.yahoo.com" 'go there
Do While myWeb.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
    DoEvents '
Loop
Text1 = myWeb.Document.documentElement.innerHTML 'grab HTML codes
'do some other stuff here
Text2 = myWeb.Document.documentElement.innerText 'grab the contents without HTML
'do some more stuff, blah, blah
Set myWeb = Nothing 'trash the page
'do something else
End Sub
 
 
Private Sub myWeb_NewWindow2(ppDisp As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Set ppDisp = Nothing
Cancel = True
End Sub
 
 
Private Sub myWeb_StatusTextChange(ByVal Text As String)
On Error Resume Next
'this speeds things up, cause you never know what other content will load on that page
    Dim ssnvar, re
    ssnvar = myWeb.Document.documentElement.innerHTML
    Set re = New RegExp
    re.Pattern = "</body>"
    re.Global = True
    re.IgnoreCase = True
    If re.test(ssnvar) = True Then myWeb.Stop
End Sub

To play with the above code you dont need WebBrowser control on your form, just add references to "Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5" and "Microsoft Internet Controls". 1 Command button, and 2 Text boxes with Multiline property = True.

Can you execute a button click in the page thru a webbrowser ?

Cheers

No with the above code. That WebBrowser will not be visible to you, because its not on the form.

Thanks,

I don't need the form visible, just need to invoke a method of an object in a web page in a WebBrowser.. I got it to work using the following:

    myWeb.Document.Forms("T").Hello.Click

Thanks for the code.

Chubby.

Found an example in C++(?) http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/b..._and_Execution
Any examples in VB6?
