VB6 - Load html as string example

 

File(s): LoadFromStringBrowser.frm, html\flipCard3D.html

 

The load html as string demo as the following code in the Form_Load event:

 

Private Sub Form_Load()

  On Error Resume Next

  Me.Show

  ' show on top!

  Call SetWindowPos(Me.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE)

 

  EdgeWebBrowser.CreateWebView

  Form_Resize

End Sub

 

This creates the WebView2 control via CreateWebView.

 

Once the WebView2 control is loaded, it will trigger the OnCreateWebViewCompleted event and that's where we handle the rest.

 

Private Sub EdgeWebBrowser_OnCreateWebviewCompleted(ByVal HResult As Long)

  Dim Html As String

  Dim TextLine As String

  Dim HtmlFile As String

  Dim Path As String

  

  ' disable right click menu

  EdgeWebBrowser.DefaultContextMenusEnabled = False

  ' No F12 either

  EdgeWebBrowser.DevToolsEnabled = False

  ' Load the html from file flipCard3D.html

  Path = strGetVisualBasicDemoPath

  HtmlFile = Path & "\html\flipCard3D.html"

  Open HtmlFile For Input As #1

  Do Until EOF(1)

    Line Input #1, TextLine

    Html = Html & TextLine

  Loop

  Close #1

  

  EdgeWebBrowser.NavigateToString Html

End Sub

 

We disable the right click menu (DefaultContextMenuEnabled) and turn off the developer tools (DevToolsEnabled) so that the user can no longer "peek behind the scenes".

Next up we locate the html file we want to load.

Read that file into a string Html and once that is done, we display the html via NavigateToString.
