GetURL

Description

Returns HTML for the specified URL.

Applies to

Inet objects

Syntax

servicereference.GetURL ( urlname, data )

Argument	Description
servicereference	Reference to the Internet service instance
urlname	String specifying the URL whose source data is returned in data
data	InternetResult descendant containing an overridden InternetData function that handles the HTML source for urlname

Returns

Integer. Returns values as follows:

1 Success
-1 General error
-2 Invalid URL
-4 Cannot connect to the Internet

Usage

Call this function to access HTML source for a URL.

Data references a standard class user object that descends from InternetResult and that has an overridden InternetData function. This overridden function then performs the processing you want with the returned HTML. Because the Internet returns data asynchronously, data must reference a variable that remains in scope after the function executes (such as a window-level instance variable).

For more information on the InternetResult standard class user object and the InternetData function, use the PowerBuilder Browser.

Examples

Example 1
