Well Printing To HTML (not Printing A HTML Page)
How would I take a group of database records and create a HTML page from them (I would like to do without going thru Access, if possible)...
Basically, my real goal would be able to print custom reports I made user Printer.print and then give the user the option as saving this report in HTML (WYSIWYG fromat).
Any ideas? Is this far-etched?
Printing HTML To File NOT As HTML. (See Inside)
OK, I am writing a program that recognises forum markup and converts it to HTML. For the specific forum I am writing it for, HTML goes unrecognised. I've finished the markup conversion code, but stumbled across the fact that putting HTML in the simulated "Post Area" and hitting Preview will actually cause that to be working HTML. Here's what I mean broken down a little.
<font color=red>Example.</font>
This posted on the forum will show: <font color=red>Example.</font>
But on my program it will show: Example.
I've pretty much figured out how to fix this, since if I convert...
<font color=red>Example.</font>
TO
<font color=red>hahaha</font>
It will show up as text just fine. However, here's where the problem is. I need an easier way to track any instance of html used and convert it. I could manually replace all pieces of HTML like above, but that would mean masses and masses of code, and I'd never manage to nail every single piece of HTML around. Surely there is an easier way to do this? Help would be much appreciated.
Printing HTML From Within VB
I have designed several forms using HTML code that are currently in use to format emails that I am sending from various parts of my VB 6 application. At various points in the application, I have provided the user with a Print button. Currently, this button simply uses the PrintForm command. However, this is limited due to the fact that the field length is greater than the capability of the form to display at one time. This leads to the user not being able to see all the information available when he prints the form.
I would like to be able to attach the HTML code to the program and allow the user to initiate a print that would then generate a nicely formatted printout.
Using the Printer. print command does not work as it simply spits out what amounts to the HTML source code.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a method to handle this item?
Thanks for the help.

I have a file on the hard drive, "Label.html". Is there a way to print this using VB so that IE/Windows does not prompt me to choose a printer and just chooses the default printer.
Thank you

Printing HTML?
Is there a control out there or something that lets me print HTML (not the code, but how it looks in a browser)? My program, PassProg, supports exporting to HTML and printing, but it would be much easier to ditch the printing code and just print the HTML It would look better, too, as my printing code can't do line wrapping?
So, is there an ActiveX control, DLL, whatever or other code to print web pages?

Printing HTML Documents.
Ok.. Here goes..
We are using StarOffice to generate HTML documents.
Using the header and footer options on the pages, Star Office previews and prints the pages correctly.. i.e. With the header and footer on EACH page.
When viewed in the WebBrowser control, however, the tags seem to be completely ignored, and the header and footer are printed as parts of the whole document... i.e. The header is at the TOP of the 1st page, and the footer is at the end of the x page, not on every page, as is represented by StarOffice.
Using a DLL Spy, i can see that StarOffice is using MSHTML.DLL
Is this the DLL that allows StarOffice to use the Header / Footer information?
Here is a snippit of the HTML code being used.
<DIV TYPE=HEADER>
<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=4 CELLSPACING=0>
<COL WIDTH=181*>
<COL WIDTH=75*>
<THEAD>
<TR VALIGN=TOP>
.... etc etc etc
<DIV TYPE=FOOTER>
<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>
<TR VALIGN=TOP>
<TD>
..... etc etc etc..
Any help would be greatly apperciated.

Printing An HTML File With VB
I need to open and print a HTML file in the Application directory from VB. I've search the forum for a while now and the closes piece of code that I've found is this...
WebBrowser1.Navigate App.Path & " est.html"
WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DODEFAULT
Which I found here...
http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthre...ighlight=print
My problem is that I have no idea how to use the WebBrowser Object and I can't find a thread that gives me advice. Right now the error I'm getting when I run that code is "Object Required." Do I need to include a component or a reference? Or should I "Dim Webbrowser1 As Webbrowser"?
Thanks for all your help.

Printing XML Or HTML Page
Hi,
I am using a PDF printer, and I want to print XML/HTML and DOC files to PDF. I know Word provides a COM object to print through VB. I do it like this
Dim w As New Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
w.ActivePrinter = "3-Heights(TM) PDF Producer"
Set doc = w.Application.Documents.Open(Text1.Text)
doc.PrintOut False, , Word.wdPrintAllDocument, Text2.Text, , , , , , , True
doc.Close (False)
w.Quit (False)
Does IE provide a similar method for printing? I have been unable to find any way f doing this.

HTML Printing Problem
I have a vb6 application with functionality that includes creating and printing html documents. I was using Internet Explorer (shdocvw.dll) to do the printing but the requirements have changed and now we must include a header and footer on every page.
We have just tried Crystal Reports; however, CR doesn't handle all of the html tags we use (not even tables!) Does anyone know of a tool out there that will allow us to print html with custom headers/footers or perhaps even a way to make it work with IE?
Thanks,

Printing A Pyramid In VBScript/HTML
Hello
I started a special project for someone. He wants to print out a pyramid. Here is my print function:
Code:
function print()
Dim i, iTop, iLeft
Dim iY
iY = 1
iTop=iTop-40
for i = 1 to 15 'nbTab
If i = iY Then
iTop=iTop+100
iY=iY*2
End If
Select Case i
Case 1:iLeft=1400
Case 2:iLeft=600
Case 3:iLeft=2200
Case 4:iLeft=200
Case 5:iLeft=1000
Case 6:iLeft=1800
Case 7:iLeft=2600
Case 8:iLeft=0
Case 9:iLeft=400
Case 10:iLeft=800
Case 11:iLeft=1200
Case 12:iLeft=1600
Case 13:iLeft=2000
Case 14:iLeft=2400
Case 15:iLeft=2800
End Select
document.getElementById("shema").innerHTML = document.getElementById("shema").innerHTML & "<table style=""position:absolute;top:" & iTop & "px;left:" & iLeft & "px;"" border=1><tr><td colspan=7> </td><td>" & tableau(i,1) & "</td><td colspan=7> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=3> </td><td>" & tableau(i,2) & "</td><td colspan=7> </td><td>" & tableau(i,3) & "</td><td colspan=3> </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>" & tableau(i,4) & "</td><td colspan=3> </td><td>" & tableau(i,5) & "</td><td colspan=3> </td><td>" & tableau(i,6) & "</td><td colspan=3> </td><td>" & tableau(i,7) & "</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>" & tableau(i,8) & "</td><td> </td><td>" & tableau(i,9) & "</td><td> </td><td>" & tableau(i,10) & "</td><td> </td><td>" & tableau(i,11) & "</td><td> </td><td>" & tableau(i,12) & "</td><td> </td><td>" & tableau(i,13) & "</td><td> </td><td>" & tableau(i,14) & "</td><td> </td><td>" & tableau(i,15) & "</td></tr></table>" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
next
end function
In this case, I know that there is 15 blocks to my pyramid, so I manually calculated the left position of my blocks
Select Case i
Case 1:iLeft=1400
Case 2:iLeft=600
Case 3:iLeft=2200
Case 4:iLeft=200
Case 5:iLeft=1000
Case 6:iLeft=1800
Case 7:iLeft=2600
Case 8:iLeft=0
Case 9:iLeft=400
Case 10:iLeft=800
Case 11:iLeft=1200
Case 12:iLeft=1600
Case 13:iLeft=2000
Case 14:iLeft=2400
Case 15:iLeft=2800
End Select
But if I have 31 blocks, I will need this piece of code:
'Select Case i
' Case 1:iLeft=3000
' Case 2:iLeft=1400
' Case 3:iLeft=4600
' Case 4:iLeft=600
' Case 5:iLeft=2200
' Case 6:iLeft=3800
' Case 7:iLeft=5400
' Case 8:iLeft=200
' Case 9:iLeft=1000
' Case 10:iLeft=1800
' Case 11:iLeft=2600
' Case 12:iLeft=3400
' Case 13:iLeft=4200
' Case 14:iLeft=5000
' Case 15:iLeft=5800
' Case 16:iLeft=0
' Case 17:iLeft=400
' Case 18:iLeft=800
' Case 19:iLeft=1200
' Case 20:iLeft=1600
' Case 21:iLeft=2000
' Case 22:iLeft=2400
' Case 23:iLeft=2800
' Case 24:iLeft=3200
' Case 25:iLeft=3600
' Case 26:iLeft=4000
' Case 27:iLeft=4400
' Case 28:iLeft=4800
' Case 29:iLeft=5200
' Case 30:iLeft=5600
' Case 31:iLeft=6000
'End Select
So how can I write a generic function that calculate my left positions....

Please Help. Printing {html Formated Mail From Outlook}
I have a strange problem but I'm sure someone can help. I use a button in Access to generate an email in Outlook. I use the HTMLBody so that I can have different font colors etc. It works fine. However, if I print it out before I send the email, it prints out portrait (great) but doesn't look like an email, ie. no To: header etc. If I send and then print, it looks like an email but always prints out landscape no matter where I change the setting. I'm assuming its the HTML that is doing it. I have tried putting everything in a one cell table at 60% width, which works as far as the looks of the email, but still prints landscape with half the page blank. What can I do??????????
Question On Printing An HTML Table Generated By VB
Hi all,
I have a print report button that calls Internet Explorer, and writes and HTML Table to the page. I use this method, because it's fast and easy to code, and the cells and rows are dynamic.
Before I selected "Print background colors and images" in Tools/Internet Options/Advanced, the cell borders would print great, however the black separator bars would not print. After I selected it, the separator bars print great, but the cell borders are hardly visible.
The separator bars are simply cells that span all 4 columns, have bgcolor set to 000000 and have as data. The table itself has a border of 1.
Is there any way to get both to print?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Printing Multiple HTML-Documents Using WEbBrowser Control
Hello !
Iīve got the following problem. In a VB-Program ( Version 6 ) I need to print multiple HTML and XML-Documents.
This should happen in a loop above the desired documents ( all available on harddisk !) . But there are a lot of problems using the webbrowser control. only one object of the control is instantiated cause the loop can contain up to 10000 documents , so that an initialize of one Browser-control for each doc will soon stop the computer from doing anything.
In this loop I navigate to the doc then give the execwb OLECMDID_PRINT.. command... wait for Readystate = READYSTATE_COMPLETE close the document and walk to the next document...
But it doesnīt work. Not every document is printed or the Explorer is closed before all docs are printed or no doc is printed .... and so on..
I know that the browser creates a second process to print the doc , so I tried it with waiting 1st for the message IE_DocumentComplete and the win_onafterprint. but still the docs are not printed out correctly .
When I implement a For-NExt-Loop before processing the next doc , sometimes all docs are done well... but only sometimes.
I īm glad to hear about any solution for this problem. I donīt prefer a solution in VB , if you know any ActiveX component that can print either HTML as XML , please tell me.
Waiting for your answers ;-))

How To Shade Between Cells In HTML, I Am Creating Report In Html From Vb6 ! Attached
Hi,
I need a help in shading between cells in my report which i prepar in HTML. Here with this post i attached my project in a Zip file, the database is also in the same Directory. You can open and run the project named Scheduler.vbp inside the Folder Sheduler. It will work. The path for database is already assigned.
1. Run the Project, in the main Form u can see the "Forecast Shutdown" Button & Click it. U will see the Form where i generate report. Just click the report button to see the report in the Internet Explorer, because all values are given default.
2. What i require is, the final look of my html report will be as similar to the scd.bmp in Sheduler Folder. You can see the shade starts from middle of one cell & ends in the middle of the next cell.
I populated data from table and the work is completed except the shade similar to the scd.bmp
3. Now i am changing the background color only. But i need to shade as it is in the scd.bmp.
The shade is given based on 3 fields, you see the Field name in the Report heading.
1. T&I ETS as per OSPAS (Shade should start from this date)
2. D-OFF STRM (Adding this value to StartDate the shade should end)
I posted this question in some Forums, i get some replies, but i am not able to solve the issue.

It will be much helpful if i get help & solved this, bcause my contract ends (Dec 15th).
Instead of giving ideas, it wouldl be better if you given me the solution by modifiying the code. Because i got some suggestions and i tried them & it didn't work out & some suggestions i can't use and see because of not having proper knowledge in the specified area. The project is also there. So it will be more helpful if u give me the solution. Hope the one who works with web development & Vb6 can give me a solution.
Thankyou,

Three Objects For HTML Via VB 6 (Inet, WebBrowser && HTML) GET META && InnerText
Dear Fellows,
I have few issues in the HTML.
WebBrowser (control):
I am using the WebBrowser component to receive the HTML of web pages, but:
The InnerHTML returning INSIDE the <BODY> (the body tag not includes).
The OuterHTML returning from the <BODY>.
Inet (control):
Or else I am using the Inet component to retrieve the HTML and it dose get it all (with the meta).
I have browse the Inet object to get the InnerText, I haven’t found.
I NEED TO GET THE META OBJECT.
I NEED TO GET THE InnerText.
I don’t want to mix with the two objects in order to receive both (Meta & InnerText)
I have started to develop a function that will CONVERT the HTML to TEXT.
I am sure that it dose exist out there.
I AM LOOKING FOR THIS OBJECT (that can be one help)
Note: the conversion of the html should get the html with the tags and the “&”marks (& = “&” or > = “>” etc…) [I don’t know the official naming for them].
Some web pages have redirect when you type one address in the address bar and you get the second one as a result, I need the object to get it too.
Main Question:
1. how do I get (which object) all the HTML, within it the Title & META and the InnerText of a web page.
I need that object to get me the redirect of URL.
Best regards & thank your 4 using VbCity,
Isaac
HTML Interaction With VB6 Apps And HTML Embedding With Custom Names.
Part 1: HTML Interaction
Visit this MSDN Article on. Very necessary that you know this!!!
Registering an Application to a URL Protocol
Create a new Standard EXE VB6 project and Add the Microsoft Internet Controls component from the Components menu.
Now draw a WebBrowser control on the form.
In the properties window, change the LinkMode of the Form to 1-Source and let the LinkTopic be as it is.
Open the Code View for Form 1 and in the LinkExecute event handler for Form1, add the following code:
Code:WebBrowser1.Navigate2(Mid$(CmdStr,6,Len(CmdStr) - 5))
Now, compile the program into Say... Project1.exe in C:
As said in the MSDN Article, let us now register our application to a URL Protocol. To do this I will customise the Example shown there
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT]
[note]
(Default) = "URL:Note Protocol"
URL Protocol = ""
[shell]
[open]
[command]
(Default)= "c:Project1.exe"
[DDEEXEC]
(Default)= "%1"
[Application]
(Default)= "Project1"
[Topic]
(Default)= "Form1"
Now, open IE and type the following (assumption: a sample HTML file in "C:" called "test.htm")
note:C: est.htm
And Viola! Your app opens with the page displayed in the WebBrowser control.
Now, try adding a hyperlink into the sample html file with a "href=note:C: est2.htm" and see what happens.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2: Embedding Custom HTML resources in programs and accessing using res protocol
Now, to embed a HTML into a VB6 program, Use Resource Editor AddIn in VB6 to add a resource file to your app. Add a custom resource say a HTML file. It is added to the ResEdit as 101.
Now right click and say properties. Now change the Type to HTML and Id to
say...index.htm.
Save the file and compile the project. Now open IE and type res://[path ()
and name of the compiled file]/HTML/index.htm.
You will see the file. Same way embed a GIF or JPG and try the same
technique, even script and css files. It should work.
These two techniques will help you embed HTML resources in programs and make them talk to your application.
