Hi all
I want to programmatically save the current web page (which was loaded from an MHTML file):
I want to specify the name and location for the file to be saved and be able to specify "Save as Webpage, complete". Having Google researched, I do not believe this is possible. Can anybody prove me wrong?
The only approach I can think of is ExecWB(4,n) where n is 0, 1 or 2. If it cannot be done without user interaction, I would like that interaction to be as minimal as possible (e.g. putting the folder location in the clipboard so that the user can at least paste it into the save as dialog would help, as would being able to at least specify the file name). I can't find a way for the SaveAs dialog to default to Webpage, complete.
Many thanks
Paul Newton

Most things are achievable.
If no provision through the API then use windows api find window, controls on that form (hwnd), send messages to get desired results etc. etc.
A bit of work but it'll work fine. E.g. Had a look at the Firefox "Save As" dialogue just now and everything is accessible and exposed.
It'd be simply a matter of setting text in an Edit control and a ComboBox and Clicking on a Button. All done with messages.

Thanks Darren
This is for what will probably be a one-off task, so probably not worth the effort. At the moment I am (i) putting the folder in the clipboard and (ii) creating an empty file with the desired name and extension. The user copies from the clipboard to get to the correct foldsr and then clicks on the already created filename. Only two problems (i) the user still has to select "Webpage, complete" and (ii) click OK on an overwrite warning message).
The "user" is me (I don't envisage anybody else using what I am doing)

Paul, If you look at the Chilkat Activex page, they have a number of VFP examples of doing this, depending upon how you want to save the page.

I'll definitely take a look - sounds promising. Busy on something else right now but will let you (and the list) know how I get on.
