How can I save a file from an url programmatically ?
I'm programming in VB.NET.
I read articles about using the ActiveX Web Browser control.
This code should work:
Dim nullObject As System.Object = 0
Dim str As String = ""
Dim nullObjStr As System.Object = str
Dim strUrlAs String
strUrl= "www.AnyUrl.com"
AxWb.Navigate(strUrl, nullObject, nullObjStr, nullObjStr, nullObjStr)
Dim eQuery As SHDocVw.OLECMDF 'return value type for QueryStatusWB
On Error Resume Next
eQuery = AxWb.QueryStatusWB(SHDocVw
If Err.Number = 0 Then
If eQuery And SHDocVw.OLECMDF.OLECMDF_EN
AxWb.ExecWB(SHDocVw.OLECMD
SHDocVw.OLECMDEXECOPT.OLEC
Else
MsgBox("The SaveAs command is currently disabled.")
End If
End If
If Err.Number <> 0 Then MsgBox("SaveAs command Error: " & Err.Description)
I always get the MsgBox("The SaveAs command is currently disabled."),
so the condition eQuery And SHDocVw.OLECMDF.OLECMDF_EN
Why? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
