PrintTemplateInstantiation as webbrowser trigger
I am connecting to a website that generates data That I wish to collect.
After having fed in the data and performed the necessary calculations a Print button appears.
I succesfully used sendkeys to select and copy the screen to a file for filtering and saving, which usually works but is not in the least elegant as I have to cancel the print dialog that is autmatically generated and then call on my own procedure.
I've come across an event in webrowser ".PrintTemplateInstantiati
The question: How could I use PrintTemplateInstantiation
This question is probably worth a lot more than the 80 points I have to spend. If so please advise of same and I shall have to postpone the question untill I can earn my way.

You would need to
1/ search for an ingredient ie 'honey'
2/ select one of the results
3/ nominate a recipe name
4/ click add ingredient
5/ then nominate final weight and serve size.
6/ click calculate
7/ finally PRINT. " it is this that I wish to capture and cancel.

Thanks Richie,
I thouht you would have the answer. I had already seen your code for capturing controls on a web page and thought it could work.
What I don.t understand is how
-
Private Function btn_onclick() As Boolean
MsgBox "got it!"
End Function
-
does this manage to interupt the predefined function of the button?
I had hoped to stop at the document produced upon the pressing of the print button but avoid the automated print dialog box appearing, but I can get all the data i need at this current point. Thank you

Yes, you are switch the "real" event with yours.
It is similar of how to avoid right click on a web page and use your own menu instead of default one.
