Hi

Can anybody on here help me to "read" data in a webpage from within a VB6 application?

I've embedded a (hidden) WebBrowser control which is where the page will be loaded. I'd like to be able to "read" a piece of the info in the Web page for use within my VB app.

The info I'll be reading will either be in a <div> tag, or I can put it in a text box. whichever works best.

Thanks in advance. I know one of you very knowledgeable people will be able to help

You can get the source code of a website by using the Inet control:

Ctrl-T -> Microsoft Internet Transfer Control -> OK

Add one, and then to get the source code of a website use:

code:

---

Dim strSourceCode as String
strSourceCode = Inet1.OpenURL("www.google.com")

---

Then, if the website's source code doesn't change too much, you can easily write some code that will get what you want

code:

---

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)

    Dim HTML
    HTML = pDisp.Document.body.innerhtml

    Debug.Print HTML

End Sub

---

Can also do

code:

---

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)

    Debug.Print pDisp.Document.body.innerhtml

End Sub
