oh well, you can do it with many ways.
you can do it with a combination between CInternetSession and CHttpConnection.
or also by using URLDownloadToFile will download the page to a file. You can then open and display the file
URLDownloadToCacheFile will download the page to a cached file where you can access the data (this is what I have been told to do ages ago)

I will be using this url's html code every one min so saving it will not be good idea since it remains in cach and i will be using the old html again and again!!! i have no idea how to use those functions u mentioned to extract my data from webbrowser.My webbrowser has this html and i want to collect the bold data from it and place it in listview!

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">
</head>

<p><ul><table border=1 cellpadding=4

<tr><th>Name</th> <th> code </th> <th> code2 </th> </tr>
<tr><td><font color="0800">tony</font></td> <td>123</td> <td>454352</td>

<tr><td><font color="FF0FF">cindy</font></td> <td>45245</td> <td>245245</td>

<tr><td><font color="800FF">sarah</font></td> <td>452454</td> <td>245545</td>

</table>
</body>
</html>

could u just show me how get the bold html data and populate it in listview. I searched all over inernet and i could not find a single example of how to get html using visual c++ 6.!!

Dody u did not respond my other posts about how to color individual listview items!!! i just need to know that.THanks

code that loads the url for me in webbrowser controle:

BOOL CFindUserDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// Add "About..." menu item to system menu.

// IDM_ABOUTBOX must be in the system command range.
ASSERT((IDM_ABOUTBOX & 0xFFF0) == IDM_ABOUTBOX);
ASSERT(IDM_ABOUTBOX < 0xF000);

CMenu* pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);
if (pSysMenu != NULL)
{
CString strAboutMenu;
strAboutMenu.LoadString(IDS_ABOUTBOX);
if (!strAboutMenu.IsEmpty())
{
pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_SEPARATOR);
pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, IDM_ABOUTBOX, strAboutMenu);
}
}

// Set the icon for this dialog. The framework does this automatically
// when the application's main window is not a dialog
SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon
SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon

// TODO: Add extra initialization here

COleVariant vtOptional((long)DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND,VT_ERROR);
m_wbrow.Navigate2(COleVariant(_T("http://localhost/Display.php")),
vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional, vtOptional);

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}

you can point part of the code into a CString, and use the "Find" member to get what you are looking for

oh what about get text like get paltalk text chat :?:

how to get text like paltalk chat room in ie is using the same technic like get yahoo text chat

with that methode you are free of html tag. if you dont want to do that, the only way you can do is trim your data but if i'm in your place i'll use get text like get paltalk text chat and store each line to listview
