open website source into richtextbox

[Mague]

Hey,

I need to open a website source code into a richtextbox. Is this possible? If it is please leave code

Also i have an unanswered question.

I wanted to know if in the richtextbox i could change the colour of text. I know you can do this with a selectedtext command but everytime i type into a richtextbox it higlights everything i want another colour. Is there a way i can change the font colour without making it highligting the things already the other colour. Also i want everything a diff colour.

If you can answer or suggest any help for this i would apressiate it alot. Thank lots for you help. Also dont tell me to search google please, i have spent ages searching and i got some tech homework due when i go back to school (year 8) so i dont really have time to search the whole internet.

Thanks lots
Mague

ps. no1 has told me to search google on this site yet. Mostly on other sites

hey there! well, to retreive an URL's html page, just right click your toolbox, go to Components... Activate Microsoft Internet Transfer Controls 6.0 and press Accept.

You'll see a new icon on the toolbox (called Inet). Click on it and draw one on the Form. It's invisible, just as Timers.

So, on code, basically write this: (VB 6)

Dim sHtml As String
sHtml = Inet1.OpenURL ("http://www.mywebpage.com/")
'It can also be:
'sHtml = Inet1.OpenURL ("http://www.mywebpage.com/mypage.html")
'And so on...

Now, there's a better way to highlight things on a RTB... aww if i try using it says I'm not licensed :S omg since when? Anyways, create an RTB and a Textbox (with Multiline = True). Then create a button that on click event does following:

Text1.Text = RichTextBox1.TextRTF

(I can't check that right now but i think it's called TextRTF)

Also make another buttons to make current selection Bold (SelBold), Coloured (SelColor), etc... You know what I mean =P

Then start the application, write something on the RTB, colour some words, bold others, italic others, etc... When u have some nasty mix of Rich Text features (xD) written on your RTB, then press that button we created. Text1 will get the TextRTF which does not only contain the text, but the text in RTF code (such as if u see the code of an HTML page :P). Look what you got, look how it's made, once you know how each property is set up, just edit the TextRTF when highlighting something, and that's all (it's a lil bit more avanced than just SelBold = True, but it's the right way ;))

About Inet, i just find it fast and easy to use, I know there's always a better way to do everything, but using Inet is certainly not the worse =P enjoy =)
