CHtmlView::GetSource() Problem Retrieving Full Source

When I CHtmlView::Navigate2(..) to a particular Web page, a subsequent call to CHtmlView::GetSource(..) from CHtmlView::OnNavigateComplete2() does not retrieve the full HTML source code. Instead, it is cut short. That is, only some of the source is retrieved. For example, if I open up IE to the web page and View->Source, and the source is, say, 100kB, then calling CHtmlView::GetSource(..) after navigating to the same page retrieves something < 100kB.

Any ideas on how to get the full source? Thanks

I want to add a little more info:

When I CHtmlView::Navigate2(..) to a page with a big source file, a subsequent call to CHtmlView::GetSource(..) from CMyHtmlView::OnNavigateComplete2(..) gives me a source full of scripting code and the actual HTML code (supposed to be at the end) is cut off. When I do the same procedure on a page with a small source file, I get the full code (script + HTML).

I also tried overriding GetSource(..) to use IHTMLwhatever to get the source:
CMyHtmlView::GetSource(CString &strRef)
{
CComPtr<IDispatch> pDisp = GetHtmlDocument();
CComPtr<IHTMLDocument2> pDoc;
pDisp->QueryInterface(IID_HTMLDocument2, (void**)&pDoc);
CComPtr<IHTMLElement> pBody;
pDoc->get_body(&pBody);

...
}

However, after the call to get_body(..), pBody is always NULL regardless of what page I've navigated to, even though both pDisp and pDoc are NOT NULL.

Another idea i tried was overriding CHtmlView::GetSource(..) and keeping everything the same except changing
hMemory = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, 0);
to
hMemory = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, <some large number>);
and after testing different numbers, the returned source is still cut short.

I am running out of ideas. Please help.

DanRollins:
Thanks for the input. What two identical functions are you referring to? Anyway I will look into the CString and see what I can find. I wasn't familiar with OnDocumentComplete(..). According to Microsoft, the event is fired after finishing downloading a Web page. I thought CHtmlView::OnNavigateComplete2(..) is called on the same event? What's the difference?

OnDocumentComplete() did the trick. Thanks Dan
