Printing An HTML Page From A Webbrowser Control
I'm creating reports for my program, and the way I do it now looks crappy. It works, but I could generate HTML reports and have more flexability. Then I could preview this in a webbrowser and print it off. But how would I do that? (Print...not generate the HTML)
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 ;-))

Printing HTML Files Without IE?

Thanks in advance!
Printing Multiple Files From WebBrowser - Help!
Hi everyone:
I have a VB6 app from which I would like to print multiple HTML files from the hard disk. I am trying to use the WebBrowser control but have been unsuccessful in getting it to print multiple files (using a loop that includes a Navigate followed by an ExecWB Print). I've fiddled with it any number of ways but have never been able to reliably print all of the files I request.
Does someone out there have a simple working application that does this?
Alternately, if someone could tell me how to suppress the print dialog box generated by the SHellExeceute Print command, that might work just as well.
In any case, thank you for any and all insights!

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
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.

Strip HTML From Webbrowser Using VB
I have some code that creates a browser object, navigates to the website I am interested in and then reads the html from that webpage. This works very nicely, however I would like to read the html from a browser where I don't know explicitly the URL (i.e. not by opening a new browser and navigating to it through VBA, but by accessing the web page manually). I can't find a way to strip the HTML from an already active browser using VB.
This seems odd to me as the method below would seem much more complicated than just taking HTML from an already open browser.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Dim strCurrentHTML As String
Dim browser As Object
Set browser = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Set browser = InternetExplorer.Active
With browser
.Visible = True
.Navigate "http://test.co.uk"
DoEvents
End With
strCurrentHTML = browser.Document.documentElement.outerHTML
Webbrowser And HTML Parsing
I am currently working on a program that loads a web page and copies the source code to a file. I don't really need the file but I am just using it so I can view the source code for troubleshooting. In the source code I need to get the values for firstName, LastName, ect. I have seen many instances of using inStr() to search the code to find these values but is that a way to use the tags or "String Names" or .item to get the values. I have included the line of code that I need to get the values from. On of the string names is +"_RM_HTML_FIRST_ESC_=. Here is the source code.

Webbrowser + Getting Value From HTML Inputbox In VB App
Howdy,
I created a program wich loads a webpage in the webbrowser control and where I can submit information into a form
VB Code:
WB.Document.Forms(0).tSerial.Value = ValueWB.Document.Forms(0).bSubmit.Click
As above shows, I can submit into a input box a value and then submit it.
But then the webbrowser load another page and it contains a new inputbox called tValidate.
tValidate contains standard a value (yes or no)
Now the program needs that value, but how do I get it from that website page ?

Clearing WebBrowser HTML
Hi,
I referenced the Microsoft Internet Control and initialized a new browser using the following code:
VB Code:
Dim MyIE as InternetExplorerSet MyIE = New InternetExplorerMyIE.Visible = True
Now the problem is, I have to clear the browser's document before I carry out some code. I've tried using MyIE.Document.documentElement.InnerHTML = "" but that doesn't work. I also tried MyIE.Document.Close. What else should I try? BTW, I must clear the document WITHOUT having to navigate to about:_blank !

How To Save The HTML In A Webbrowser ?
I'm using a webbrowser to show some URLs. Now I need save these HTML contents in a JPG file. What I am thinking is that save it locally first, then convert the HTML to JPG. The question is how to save the HTML in a webbrowser locally. The webbrower seems only provide the SAVEAS method which will popup a SaveAs dialogue.
Or, if we can not save the HTML, what else I can do to save the HTML to JPG?
thanks
WebBrowser - Return Raw HTML
ok, just started using VB.NET and so far im more confused than when I started to learn VB6.
Anyway, I have a WebBrowser control on a form which simply displays a website, in the form of...
Quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>A title</title>
</head>
<body>
My Body
</body>
</html>
Now I need to now be able to return the raw HTML from it (no formatting - as in what the server sent). So far ive used...
Browser1.Document.Body.outerHtml
Quote:
<BODY>My Body </BODY>
Browser1.Document.documentelement.innerhtml
Quote:
<HEAD><TITLE>A title</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>My Body </BODY>
Browser1.Document.documentelement.outerHtml
Quote:
<HTML lang=en xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><HEAD><TITLE>A title</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>My Body </BODY></HTML>
Browser1.Document.All(0).innerHTML
Quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
Browser1.Document.All.Item(0).innerHTML
Quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
Browser1.Document.outerHtml
Browser1.Document.innerHtml
All I want is the raw HTML without any formatting done to it and without pieces missing.
Also, to add to the fun, I cant use controls such as Inet because the application will be loading pages which require a login, so the HTML received in the WebBrowser must be the HTML the server sent for that user.
Hope someone can help - im probably looking at this in the wrong way
WebBrowser/HTML Question
I suppose you could use the SendKeys statement:
Code:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
WebBrowser1.SetFocus
SendKeys "^f", True 'popup the find dialog
SendKeys "TheTextToSearchFor", True 'fill the dialog
SendKeys "~", True 'do the first search
End Sub
Good luck!
Getting HTML From WebBrowser Control
hello all,
i am trying to pull HTML out of a webbrowser control, but im not having much luck. i know that i can use the Inet control, but i need the WebBrowser because the page requires POST data to be sent to the server, and as far as i know Inet doesnt allow that. so anyway, if someone could give me a pointer in the right direction, that would be awesome!
thanks,
snoburnssb
p.s. i read about using WebBrowser.Document.body, but my component doesnt offer any further properties after WebBrowser.Document

WebBrowser HTML Problem
I'm using a WebBrowser to display a report. The report contains two html tables
brwReport.Document.write strReport
strReport contains the HTML
When I view the program, only the first table is displayed, however, when I right click and view source, the code for the second table is there too.
When I right click on the browser and select "Encoding" and then "Western European", the rest of the table appears.
This is really bugging me.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers

Loading HTML Into WebBrowser Control
Can anyone tell me how I can write HTML to a WebBrowser control in
Visual Basic 6? I want to display HTML in the browser that is generated
from within my VB program.
HTML Source From WebBrowser Control
Hello,
I am working on a project that requires me to be able to "POST" http packets from a vb6.0 application to a url, for example - "http://www.targeturl.com/handlepost.php" on a web server.
I currently do this using the webBrowser control's navigate2 method.
When the target document recieves the posted data, it processes it and and should return HTML content based on the success or failure of the processing.
I would like to programmatically read/parse the HTML source that is returned to the webBrowser control in order to determine the result of processing, but it appears there is no way of retrieving the "HTML source" of the content being rendered by the webBrowser control. Does anybony know how to do this.
P.S - note : the traget document is a php script requiring form data to be submitted using the "POST" method rather than the "GET" method and I would prefer suggestion targeting the webBrowser control not Inet (internet transfer) control, since I dont know how to "POST" form data using the Inet control - anyway I wont mind learning that if someone could teach me.
Thank you.

Webbrowser (capture Text,not Html)
I need to capture TEXT displayed on a webbrowser control.
Unable to use the html .outerhtml etc..., as when i view source, its not there. Ie Frames etc.,java script ,php etc.
i Have tried using...
For x = 0 To WebBrowser1.Document.frames.length - 1
RichTextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Document.frames.Item(x).Document.documentElement.outerHTML
But i am getting a message "access denied", on the frame i need.

Q1. How do i Select all, copy, and paste the whole text on the browser control.
or.
Q2. How do i select the text on the frame say Frame 2, select all and copy and paste.
Once i get it into the clipboard, i can proceed.
I can do all this manually, BUT, would like to automate it.
Really appreciate some help with this problem, i have spent a lot of time looking for a solution, but with no total success.!!!
Webbrowser - Clearing Past Html
Need help please.
I am using the webbrowser to display several htmls from the resource file. I saved the html files out from the res as a temp file (different file names for each file) before displaying them.
Here is a scenerio. First, i use the webbrowser to display doc1.html. Close the webbrowser and launch again to display doc2.html. The webbrowser sometimes displays doc1.html instead. I need to load it again for it to display doc2.html correctly.
Why is this happening, please help. Is there some sort of cache memory in the webbrowser? Is there a way to clear the residual memory so that webbrowser will load the correct file everytime.
Thanks in advance.
HTML Not Processing In Webbrowser Correctly...
Okay so I load a file, and the file is processed correctly but when I use this all the images URL's get routed to "about:blank/images/img.jpg"

WB.Document.write Code.Text
WB.Document.Close
End Sub
Also I've tried this which obviously wont work, but is there a similar way to do this that works?
Code:
For Each Item In WB.Document
Debug.Print Item
Debug.Print WB.Document.Item
Next Item

Source HTML From The WebBrowser Object
If you right click on a webpage, and select View Source... you get a notepad window showing the documents source.
How do you achieve this programatically in VB?
I have tried accessing the browsers .document object and this does work to a degree, however the results never tally with the output from the windows view source option. Very strange.
Does anybody know how this is done, I've been trying to do it for days.

HTML Object Library - Doing Away With Webbrowser.
HTML Object Library - Doing away with Webbrowser.
I have been using Webbrowser for quite some time along with integrating the HTML Object Library.
I would like to do away with Webbrowser completely (I dont want to view the website page/images)
I need to know how I would load a website with HTML Object Library and download the source of the page.
In webbrowser it was Webbrowser1.document.all.body.innerHtml
I am not sure how to do this without Webbrowser.
Could someone get me started? I need to know how too navigate to a site with just HTML Object Library and display the source within a textbox.
To interact with the forms I used the following code, I dont know what modifications I would need to make in order for it too work without Webbrowser:
Code:
Dim INP As HTMLInputElement
Set HTML = WebBrowser1.Document
For Each INP In HTML.getElementsByTagName("input")
If INP.Name = "hey" then
INP.value = "Hey"
End If
Next
Thanks!
Html Dom Penetrating Frames Again Vb6 Webbrowser
gavio and others have help me with this before and i've made a lot of progress
but i'm using the locals window to view my webbrowser control where you can see the frames (and their corresponding framesets)
the name of my control (webbrowser) is web. After navigating to the final
page (with frames) in the locals window is see the following object
web.document.all.item(1) happens to be of type htmlframeelement
this is where i get lost (run in circles) trying to see further detail.
i am sure there is a table (or possibly <div> type tags) within one of the frames but i never see more.
after htmlframeelement (from above)
web.document.all.item(1).document.body.all (this seems to display the same elements over and over)
or do i have to start over using the frame as it's own html page.
am i making any sense?.
Webbrowser && Html Source/frames

Any idea?
