Hello, 

 

At the wb object, there are a few visual options, such as print, download.

Does any one knows how-to download documents? I'm loading pdfs with wb_1.navigate(ls_path_doc)

 

I have notice that the event for download is DownloadingStart, but im having doubts with functions...

 

Thanks.

Is there a limit on Error message characters with ...
WebBrowser control - how to resize

Hi Samuel,

Im not sure I understood whether you want to download a file from a Web URL or not?

You can use HttpClient object and store the web file into a blob with GetResponseBody()

oh, I see. Then, you must first use e.g. WebBrowserSet('DownloadPath', 'C:\temp'), and you will find the downloaded file there.

Hi Samuel,

When clicking the ‘Download’ button, the pdf file will be downloaded automatically. It will trigger the downloadingstart and downloadingstatechanged event. The filename argument in downloadingstart will return the full file path of the downloaded file, for example:
C:\Users\Appeon\AppData\Local\Temp\pbcefdownload\datawindow.pdf

You can use WebBrowserSet/WebBrowserGet to set/get the download path.

Regards,
ZhaoKai

Is this for the built-in Web Browser control?
