[RESOLVED] Getting Yahoo Weather

[GDOG34]

Is there a way where you receive the curent Yanoo! Weather? Because I'm creating a application that will retreive the weather and I'm wondering if this is possible. Also can I have it where the user can select there current location and it can save it to file. Therefore, you can always change the settings.

Well, the first part, all you have to do is use the InStr and Mid commands to do all the work for you. The second part i dont really understand.

Ill give you some code after i finish doing some stuff i need to do

Inet1.openURL

I use this with textboxs to get an online yahoo weather report, don't know about getting return values:

 url = "http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGkjhpTIFH0AcBVr9XNyoA?p=weather+" & CityToUse & "+" & StateToUse & "&y=Search&fr=my_mod&ei=UTF-8"
    

ShellExecute ByVal 0&, "open", url, vbNullString, vbNullString, 5

But this is what I want it to do. Retreive the current weather "68°F" and then retreive the picture. Like if its sunny for example and thats all. Then i can make a timer that keeps the information updated.

Well, I finished it and it works like a charm. It shows the current weather and an image of the current fortcast esay as pie and it can be custimized. See it later in Simple Explorer 8.1!

Thankyou,

Desktop, It is a plugin for Simple Explorer 8.1. It has settings that allow you to change your weather provider, and when to update it's self.
