BHO question- how to save images to disk (from within a HTML page in IE)??

[deeps_chennai]

Hai all,

I am writing a BHO application in VB6. I am now able to access the HTML content from within IE windows.

All was going well for me until I had to do this:

I have to copy all image/css files in the HTML document to a folder on the hard-disk.

I DONT want to do this by copying the images from Temporary Internet Files folder. Is there any possible method by which we can directly read out the image files from the IE window? (just as we read out HTML with outerHTML())

I also dont want to use sockets to read the files from the server again.

Below is some code which will print out the names of all the images in the current document. I hope some addition here would do the job for me!?!?

Dim HTMLDoc As mshtml.HTMLDocument
Dim ElementCollection As Object
Dim tmp_imageName As String
Set HTMLDoc = ie_Obj.document
  
Dim HTML_img_element As mshtml.HTMLImg
For Each HTML_img_element In HTMLDoc.images
       tmp_imageName = HTML_img_element.src
       debug.Print tmp_imageName
Next

any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks for ur time!

I have the same problem.

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim fs As New FileSystemObject
    Dim orig_path As String, new_path As String
    
    orig_path = "http://www.example.com/folder/"
    new_path = "U:\folder\"
    
    fs.CopyFolder orig_path, new_path

    Set fs = Nothing
End Sub

Does not work, nor does the more effective

filecopy "http://www.example.com/page.html", "U:\page.html"
