Thumbnail of WebBrowser content

Hi,

I would like to make thumbnails of web page by capture content of a
WebBrowser. By example, capture http://www.google.com.

I used WebBrowser control with Framework 2.0.

I try this :

*************** *************** *************** ****
WebBrowser w = (WebBrowser)sen der;

Rectangle rec = w.Bounds;

Bitmap bitm = new Bitmap(rec.Widt h, rec.Height);

w.BringToFront( );

w.DrawToBitmap( bitm, rec);

picScreenshot.I mage = bitm;

bitm.Save(@"c:\ temp.jpg");

bitm.Dispose();

*************** *************** *************** ****
But it doesn't work (DrawToBimap seems to be not managed by the WebBrowser
control).

How can I do to make these kind of thumbnails ?

[PD] Theoretically you can try to play with WM_PRINT or WM_PRINTCLIENT
message (create HDC and send it as a param of a message an then copy it to
the graphics). I have done that with some controls and it works,
unfortunately I don't have any sample code now. The second, much simpler
but also a little bit less elegant idea is to do it this way:
destinationGrap hics.CopyFromSc reen(
webBrowser.Poin tToScreen(new Point(0, 0)),
new Point(0, 0), webBrowser.Size );

Of course your control must be fully visible - if any window will cover it
the capture will be corupt.

I never used WM_PRINT and I don't know how to use it. Can you be more
precise ?

I would like to precise that I want to make a screenshot of an entire web
page even if only a part is visible in the WebBrowser...

Maybe I must not use WebBroser to do that.

More generally, is there an opensource control that made this functionality
?

I found : websnapshot and dypswebcapture but you must paid to use them.

Any tools ?

I try the two methods, but it doesn't give me entire satisfaction.

I really would like to reproduce behavior of DrawToBitmap for a WebBrowser
Control...

How can I do that ?

The second method generate an cast exception on IHTMLElementRen der render =
(IHTMLElementRe nder) element;
Moreover, it is not based on WebBrowser Control within framework 2.0.

[PD] Yes, this solution is based on ActiveX browser control. But you can
also access unmanaged interfaces of document using
webBrowser.Docu ment.DomDocumen t property. You can cast it to
IHTMLDocument2 just like in this article and move on.

The first method doesn't work. It seems WebBrowser doesn't managed

Thumbnail previews are useful for web site navigation particularly in search engines and directories such as Google, Altavista and Yahoo.

Apologies for the crossposting, I wasn't sure which of these groups to ask this in. I have been lurking in these groups for a week or so, trying to glean what I need to design a simple, clean set of pages that get the w3c tick for XHTML 1.0 Strict, and CSS2. So far, I have succeeded, thanks to the great information in these groups. Now, however, I'm having trouble. A few days ago, I read a thread that dealt with this issue of...

Hello, I am looking for someone to guide me in the right direction. What I want to do is take a "screenshot" of a web page programatically as IE sees it, using C#? I had previosuly used the Thumbnail Generator Web Service made by the GotDotNet folks but that doesnt seem to run successfully in Windows 2003, I think it only runs on Windows 2000.

Hi NewsGroup Hope you can help me with this. I'm using the "System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser" to display a various markuplanguage. And it works fine pointing the "WebBrowser.Url" to a local or remote uri. But what I would actually like to do, is to download a webpage as a string, analyze it, possibly modify it, and then display it on the WebBrowser - without asking the WebBrowser to download it again. By the "HttpWebRequest" I can easily...

Hi, I've been messing around with a personal website for a while now, and having totally bust my leg skiing have been google-wacking to work out how to use these funky stylesheet things. After the inevitable frustration to start with, I have something that seems to work ok and I have to say on the whole I like it. I've got a couple of oddities though, which if I can get them fixed would make it all look that little bit less 'hacky'...

Greetings, (.NET 2.0, WinXP Pro/Server 2003, IE6 with latest service packs). I've decided to take advantage of the layout characteristics of HTML documents to simplify my printing tasks, but of course it's thrown up a whole host of new issues... I'm generating a multi page printable document in HTML from my app, and displaying it in a WebBrowser control. I've looked into using some CSS

Hi all, I am trying to write a little app that will generate a thumbnail image of a website. Having searched the web I have found various bits of code that appear to do the job and have written my app which works but only sometimes! :( The problem is - sometimes it returns a black image instead of the nice screen shot. For example it sometimes works on the msn web site, never works with the google web site and sometimes does not work...

Folks, I am facing a problem. I am trying to manipulate the HTML data (thru the Document and DocumentText properties) of the WebBrowser object (System.Windows.Forms). The problem is that the application enters in a loop state and my changes don't apply. Have somebody faced the same problem? Any solutions?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
