Hi!

Does anyone know of a simple way to modify and search the contents of a WebGadget, i.e. the actual webpage (with forms and everything).

I'm lazy and it would be nice to "not have to invent the wheel again"

(I'm familiar with Windows API and Visual C++ if that helps)

Thanks!!

Well, as far as i understand you want to change the webpage currently displayed by the gadget.... If it's that what you want, you just need to execute one single command...

Code: Select all

SetGadgetText(#webgadget,newurl$)

This is all documented in the manual of PureBasic.

Hope this helps :roll:

Well, thanks... but don't I set a complete new URL with that?

I would like to modify the existing buffer... For example, add a couple of characters in a webform that the WebGadget allready display.

You mean, edit the content of the Webgadget as if it was a user input? Afaik it's not possible...

But you could try to set another URL wich contains the content form data. Like this: 'name=merendo&status=insane' and so on.

This could be done like this:

Code: Select all

old$=GetGadgetText(#webgadget)
parameters$="?name=merendo&status=insane"
setgadgettext(#webgadget,old$+parameters$)

I am not quite sure if this works, it's just an idea. I hope you know about html-forms and about form actions (Get and Post).

Bye! merendo

I think this was discussed before and, if I remember right, you have to write out a temp file and point the webgadget to it..

Well, I looked around the forum and decided to use the IWebBrowser2 "control"... and it seems to work well...

A small example...
