Web Browser Component

Hi all

I would like to open a webpage in a VB.net form. I used to be able to drop a Web Control onto VB6 Form and read HTML and submit values to web forms click buttons all in code

Is there web control that I can drop on VB6 form???

cheers

Hi George
Take a look at these - it should work similar to your vb6-program:

I managed to work out that the Microsoft Web Control could be ref in .Net...... but when I try to use same code to expose the HTML its not working the same ie

strHTML = wb.Document.body.innerHTML

Any Ideas??

Thanks for web pages but non are exposing the Web Page HTML to my code/ objects

cheers

Add a reference to Microsoft.mshtml

dim hdoc As mshtml.HTMLDocument - with the scope you want

in your wb_DownloadComplete sub put

hdoc = wb.Document

and you can then access the Web Page HTML through hdoc.

There may be a better way, but that's what I discovered in trying to move from VB (5, in my case) to .NET.
