webbrowser control or similar

Hi there,

I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.

I need to write an application, which allows me to display and navigate web
pages.

I no this is pretty simple, however, it is why I want to do this which is
where I need the help.

I need to be able to get at the page source, which again I understand is
fairly simple to achieve, but...

What if I want to be selective, i.e..

If a page has a basic structure, a few images and some text.

Lets say I want to drag the mouse over a small portion of text and highlight
it, as if you were to copy and paste.

I want to be able to capture the underlying HTML source, i.e. the text and
all the tags surrounding it, which are formatting it.

I have looked at the basic webbrowser control and I can't figure out how I
would do this, or even if it is possible.

If someone could give me a heads up, I would really appreciate it.
--
Regards

Chris

Each page can specify an expiration date indicating how long it will remain in the cache. When the control navigates to a page, it saves time by displaying a cached version, if one is available, rather than downloading the page again. The Refresh method forces the WebBrowser...

At http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/modules.html on the webbrowser module, it says "A number of additional browsers were added to the supported list such as Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, and elinks." I just installed python 2.5, looking forward to being able to control firefox without having to make it my default browser, but... I don't seem to have that functionality. In IDLE: {'windows-default': }

I am trying to display XML in a WebBrowser Control. I receive a data feed of XML and am trying to inject it into the control. I have not been successful in doing so. The only solution I have found is to write it to a temp file and then use the Navigate method to load it. As the control is capable of loading it from disk, I would like to find a way to skip the save/load and just inject. Thanks, Dave

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?

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,...
