Access Interent from Delphi 7

[MinalMoe]

I would like to access a constant page of an internet site from within Delphi.

I think TWebBrowser is the way to do it, but I can't work out how to do that.

Could anybody please advise.

Thanks

I have a form with a TWebBrowser on it:

unit uSite;

interface

uses
  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
  Dialogs, OleCtrls, SHDocVw;

type
  TfrmSite = class(TForm)
    WebBrowser1: TWebBrowser;
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;

var
  frmSite: TfrmSite;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

end.

Then, in a button on my main form, just this:

procedure TfrmMain.btnLaunchWebSiteClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  frmSite.Show;
  frmSite.WebBrowser1.Navigate('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.whatever.com/');[/URL]
end;

I would set

WebBrowser1.Navigate('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.whatever.com/');[/URL]

to FormOnShow.
That way it will show at once when you open up your application.

When you say "access", do you mean that you wish to display it in a web browser style format? Or do you mean you wish to access the source code (HTML) of that webpage to parse its contents or something?

If the former, the above suggestions are apt. If the latter, check out my posts in this thread: thread102-627709
