[tutorial] Visual Basic 6 Downloading Images From A Webpage Downloading Images from a webpage

[zachtk8702 0]

Here's how to grab an image off the internet easily. You'll need an Inet on your form to do this. You can always get rid of your string variables and substitute the actual strings:

Code:

Dim localFile As StringDim remoteFile As StringDim fNum As LongDim b() As ByteremoteFile = "https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/ = "C:\image.jpg"      fNum = FreeFileb() = Inet1.OpenURL(remoteFile, icByteArray)Open localFile For Binary As #fNumPut #fNum, , b()Close #fNumMsgBox "Done"

Hope this helps.

Good tutorial! This code can do a lot more than download images, it can download any file type that you want, too. I haven't written in VB for a while, but shouldn't freefile have a set of parenthesises? Good job!
