in [Win32 API]

From: embark on 19 Jul 2010 11:46 Hi there: How to access the icon of a site that a browser is displaying? ( for example, if we use IE, the icon of the site will displayed on the left side of the tab ) and, if we only have the URL and the browser is not displaying the site, how do we get the icon of that site ? Thanks !

URLDownloadToFile will probably do it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms775123.aspx Richard. http://www.rtrussell.co.uk/

Yes. Either favicon.ico in the *root* directory or a different path with: <link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="...ico"> Seems like URLDownloadToFile (like Richard suggested) can download files, but it also seems like it is poorly documented. :( It may be a good idea to have an HTML parser as well if you don't want to use regular expressions or such to search for where the icon is located (in the source code). I found Xerces-C++ XML Parser (http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/). It will work for XML/XHTML but not HTML, so you need to convert it to XML first (or maybe you can find an HTML parser). Someone suggested tidyHTML (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/). You would download the file, run it through tidyHTML and then Xerces. There's some code for an HTML parser here which uses MSHTML: http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/i-n/ieprogram/article.php/c4385 I am sure there are others sample codes for downloading files if URLDownloadToFile isn't good enough for you. -- Regards, Jackie |
