Help with Visual Basics

[spedster]

I want to make a form that will have a RichTextBox and a webbrowser on it and then have the browser in the background not seen and pulll the text off of that webpage that opens up and put it to the textbox. I have tried the getwindowtext command and that didn't seem to work. If anyone knows how to do that and or how to just make the richtexbox display that text from the page without having the browserr control on the form please let me know how I can do that.

Thanks

If you want the textbox to display the text of the content of the webbrowser, use either of these:
(Choose 1 and Test for best results)

Text1.Text = Webbrowser1.Document.Body.InnerText
Text1.Text = Webbrowser1.Document.Body.outerText
Text1.Text = Webbrowser1.Document.DocumentElement.InnerText
Text1.Text = Webbrowser1.Document.DocumentElement.OuterText

You can also use the following:
Create an IHTMLTextRange:
(don't forget to go to Project --> References, Make sure that Microsoft HTML Object Library has been checked)

Declarations:
Dim TxtRng as IHTMLTxtRange

Command1_Click()
Do While WebBrowser1.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
Loop

Set TxtRng = WebBrowser1.Document.body.createTextRange
Text1.Text = TxtRng.Text

------------
If you want the RichTextBox to display the WebPage's Text, then replace Text1.Text with RichTextBox1.Text.

Hope This Helps!
