Answer 1

Codu posted code that does exactly that in your previous thread. So why are you asking again?

Answer 2

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the response.

Yes Codu have given a wonderful solution , it worked fine i implemented the same.
There i was trying to extract the content from the table from a static web page (downloaded webpage) , here now i am trying to parse a dynamic webpage where we pass a webpage address which can be parsed.

if i pass a link some "www.example.com/table.html"  as input i want to get the html source code of this webpage without loading that page in my dialog.  Is there anyway i can get the source code of the web page without loading ?
Please suggest me tips with which i can proceed this task.

Thanking you,
Naveen HS.

It's an old C++ Win32/COM FAQ (ask on Win32 ng or any COM ng)

Answer 4

I see. Codu's code shows you how to parse the HTML page. To fetch the page, you can use InternetReadFile(). You can read up more about the WinINet API here.
