Re: Loading HTML into WebBrowser control

thanks martin,

but i would imagine there's a limit to the length of text doing it that
way. i want to write output to the WebBrowser control to display whole
manual pages, etc that are stored in an ODBC database. do you know of
any other way to accomplish this?

No, I don't. Maybe you can write the HTML to a temporary file, or you can
use a richtextbox instead of the browser?

That is pretty much a description of what an ASP web server does (that's Active
Server Pages). Unless you plan to write your own version of ASP or its
equivalent, I don't think you can easily do it in VB.

Is it possible to do both from the start? I mean, if your HTML is
generated, you could also generate the rendering into a picturebox, a
rich text control or whatever.

Re: Loading HTML into WebBrowser control

Jason try this.
1 textbox multiline= True
1 WebBrowser
2 command buttons
this code will get you started
Now you can add tags for centering, fonts, images and whatever.
save before viewing in browser if you make changes to HTML code

Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click( )
'save textbox code to harddrive
'to view in WebBrowser1
Dim FF
FF = FreeFile
Open "c:\test.ht ml" For Output As #FF
Print #FF, Text1.Text
Close #FF
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click( )
WebBrowser1.Nav igate "c:\test.ht ml"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = "<html><head><t itle>New Page 1</title></head><body><p>H ello
World</p></body></html>"
Command1.Captio n = "Save"
Command2.Captio n = "Open in Browser"
End Sub

Re: Loading HTML into WebBrowser control

Thanks for your reply - actually i'm not really trying to do anything
like ASP, i'm just trying to view a bunch of HTML stored in a database
in a browser control without having to have it served up by a webserver.
I've found I can use browser.documen t.write to write directly to the
browser control so all is well.

Thanks,
Jason

Re: Loading HTML into WebBrowser control

Well the HTML isn't really generated, it's already stored in an ODBC
database that my VB program is connected to, so i've decided to load it
into a standard recordset then use browsername.doc ument.write to just
write directly to the control.

Thanks,
Jason

Re: Loading HTML into WebBrowser control

Thanks for the reply George, but I was looking for a way to do it all
internally, circumventing the need to write to an external file, then
read it back in. I think I have it figured out now (see above posts)

Thanks!
