Is it possible to output labels to html????

I am using VB6 and was wondering if it is possible to output labels (the contents of labels) to html so you can view them in your browser, or if you can output the form or somehow output it to html and how??

Cheers

you are just trying to write the lble caption information to an HTML file correct

You could use this:

open "c:\yourfile.html" for output as #1
print#1, "Your name"
print#1, "Your address"
print#1, "Your city/state/zip"
close#1

This will create an HTML file on your c drive.

Then you can click on the HTML file you created when you are done.

If you want the browser to come up after the processing is done, you can use the ShellExecute command to bring up a browser automatically. If you need to know more about this, let me know.

How do you want your labels to be displayed? As an extension of onemorecoke's answer, you could output your file as such:

Open "x:\mypath\myhtmlfile.htm" For Output as #1

Print #1, "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>My Labels</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>"

For Each ctl In myForm.Controls

If TypeOf ctl Is Label Then Print #1, "<P>" & ctl.Caption & "</P>"

Next ctl

Print #1, "</BODY></HTML>"

Close #1

You may need to change the following to

If TypeOf ctl Is Label...

to

If TypeOf ctl Is VB.Label...

The HTML code for a simple line is '<HR>' so, if using the above code, add a line like:

Print #1, "<HR>"

at the point that you want the line to be...
