    HttpWrapper uses winsock and is faster than Inet. Inet is a different ocx which can do some of the same things as winsock but is slower.

    Use the "GET" function of the wrapper, strip the headers, put the code in a file named image.jpg, and load the image in the picturebox!!! If you want some more info, contact me on MSN!!! ;)

    ok, now im actually having trouble with the inet control, (lol, yes i know its been like 2 weeks) anyways, whenever i use it, it always only gets half of the html, and i dont know how to fix it :? my code is this
    Code (Text):
    1. strhtml = inet1.openwebpage(www.neopets.com/)
    and that gives me only a little bit of the html code

    For ricky and billybob, do the wrappers you use in VB6 only download the HTML code from a page you visit, or do they get the images / flash banners when you visit as well?

    Im not sure why you want to use Inet.... But ok try this code instead:

    Code (Text):
    1.  
    2.  
    3. strHTML = Inet1.OpenURL("google.com")
    4. Text1.Text = strHTML
    5.  
    6.  
    for that you need a textbox (named text1, obviously 0_x) and Inet control names Inet1. That will put the source of "google.com" into the text box ;)

    They only download the source of the page...

    Btw (if I remember well) the iNet.OpenURL() can't be used with neopets... :(

    errr. That sucks ;). Try doing it with HTTP wrapper. Or a wrapper of some sort. Then see if that gets you the full source. If it doesnt then its definely your computer.

    you can try using "Microsoft internet control"... I know it takes longer(it downloads images) but it would look legit!!!

    XD I already had that idea when I was trying to make a trainer, but I didn't know how to read the source of the page!!! Now I can do that (but I keep that a secret!!! :lol: ), but I don't wanna make trainers... they're boring!!! XD

    I don't know why people need trainers. You can just reverse engineer the Flash files they provide for the games to submit any arbitrary score you like. I'm surprised that I haven't seen more fake scores being posted. I guess the people that are doing it are keeping their programs private.
