Hi folks,

I have an application where the user will inform me a .html file name to load (he'll choose it in a getfile()), and then I'll have load it and show it in a form, like in a browser. In that form there will be some buttons that he will tell the app what he wants to do. One of these buttons tell the app to save the loaded html file as plain text, in order to parse the text contained in it, for some information.

To do that I must:

1) show a form with the browser control (or automathe IE (?))
2) user presses the "Load" button
3) I show a getfile () dialog
4) user selects the desired file and tell getfile () to open it
5) I load the html file
6) save its contents as text only
7) load (into a string or such) the text only file and parse it
8) save parsed information in an appropriate dbf table

I've found two examples in MSDN files. The first one uses automation, and the second one uses an OLE object.

Question: What example should I choose as the best one to implement what I'm trying?
There is another one, best suited form my case?

Below are the listing of the samples I've found.

Thanks in advance,

Fernando

Example #1

Explorer = CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application")
Explorer.Navigate ("http://www.microsoft.com")
Explorer.Visible = .t.

Example #2

PUBLIC oMyHelpViewer

   oMyHelpViewer = NewObject("myhtmlhelpviewer")
   oMyHelpViewer.Show

   DEFINE CLASS myhtmlhelpviewer AS form
      Top = 0
      Left = 0
      Height = 454 
      Width = 633
      DoCreate = .T.
      BorderStyle = 2
      Caption = "Custom HTML Help Viewer"
      MaxButton = .F.
      WindowState = 0
      Name = "Form1"

      ADD OBJECT olecontrol1 AS olecontrol WITH ;
         Top = 10, ;
         Left = 16, ;
         Height = 433, ;
         Width = 601, ;
         Name = "Olecontrol1", ;
         OLEClass = "Shell.Explorer.2"

      PROCEDURE olecontrol1.Refresh
         NODEFAULT
      ENDPROC

      PROCEDURE olecontrol1.Init
         cVFPHelpTopicPath = "mk:@MSITStore:" + "D:\Arquivos de Programas\Microsoft Visual Studio\MSDN\2000JAN\1033\FOXHELP.CHM" + "::/html/vfpstartpage.htm"
         This.Navigate(cVFPHelpTopicPath)
      ENDPROC
