    Using control with Visual Basic

    Installing GrabURL on your Visual Basic component pallete is similar to other ActiveX controls.

    Step 1. Create a new application and click on the 'Form' resource to view the default form.


    Step 2. To add GrabURL to your component bar, right-click on your component bar and select 'Components' from the popup menu.


    Step 3. In the 'Components' tab, scroll down until you find 'GrabURL for ActiveX'. Check the box next to the entry and press 'OK'.


    Step 4. The GrabURL icon will now be on your component bar. Double-click this icon to add GrabURL to your form.


    Step 5. Return to your project form and the GrabURL control should now be shown there. Click to select it.


    Step 6. From the project manager, click the 'View Code' button to view your projects source code.


    Step 7. From the code editor, select 'AXGrabURL' from the forms control list.


    Step 8. From the properties window, you can now select any event or property of GrabURL to use in your application.


    Step 9. Call the 'StartFetch' method of GrabURL to start reading browser information though the events you selected in step 8.
