This application allows the end user to capture the HTML from a web page for later use.
The first navigation button is the Home Button. Click it when you want to reset the browser to it’s home location.
The second navigation control is the Back Button. This control allows the end user to navigate to the previous page.
The third control is the Forward button. This control allows the end user to move in a forward direction in the web surfing session.
The fourth control is the Save File button. This control allows the user to save HTML files of visited web pages.
Below is the control record for this application.
[codesyntax lang=”delphi”]
/// Dialog Record Area
frm017_area = record
/// Caption
Caption: string;
/// Target Location for Saved Files
targetLoc: string;
/// Save File Name Prefix
filePref: string;
/// File Name Incrementor
fileInc: Integer;
end;
[/codesyntax]
The application detects whether the “targetLoc” contains a valid value. If not a dialog is displayed to select the target folder.
The application then checks for the “filePref” contains a valid value. If it does not a dialog collects the prefix and the “fileInc” value is initialized.
The application appends the incremented number to the file name prefix and adds the “.txt” extension.
After each page is saved to a file the “fileInc” field is incremented by one. This feature allows for an ongoing collection session without file name collisions.
