How to "find on this page" inside a MSBrowser control
I am displaying a text page using a MSInternet Control (browser).
What code will allow me to search the page for the occurance of a string and scroll the page to that point?

Would SendKeys("^F") (CTRL-F) do what you are after?
anthony_glenwright, nice and simple and works too!
It is matter of opinions, but to me, sendkeys is a "last resort".
Your comment has very good advantages: no create objects, don't waste resources, it's clever indeed.
Anyway, you need put others sendkeys to set text to search and push the search button.
Cheers

I agree about the sendkeys :-)
Here's a more elegant way
wbrDisplay.ExecWB OLECMDID_SHOWFIND, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER

Oops, my bad. The webbrowser control does not support OLECMDID_SHOWFIND - ref: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q251/1/33.ASP

I found the Microsoft HTML Object Library in the componants list and added it to the project but I still get "object required" on the line
"Set ieDoc = web1.Document"
Do I have to add a module with something in it or what?

Thanks!
I would like to say that Anthony's solution was a valid one.
It is a pity that OLECMDID_SHOWFIND doesn't works. I like that approach more than mine!
