[vb6] ms internet transfer control


Question

I have a ms internet transfer control on a form and am trying to download https://www.neowin.net/index.php into it.

Problem is, it just wont download the entire page. Now, I patched to SP6 and its a bit better but all I get is...

<html>
<head>
<title>Neowin.net - Where unprofessional journalism looks better</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="windows,longhorn,msn,reviews,news,whistler,blackcomb,nt,xp,microsoft,chicago,cairo,neptune,i386,winnt4,win95,win98,win9x,win2k,winme,winxp,net,1.0,2.0" />
<meta name="description" content="Windows News and Reviews." />
<meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days" />
<meta name="copyright" content="neowin.net" />

BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA.... ALL THE WAY UNTIL....

and that evidently is not the entire page -- does anyone know how I can fix this REALLY annoying problem?

If you want, you can even try it yourself!!

it is because you are using a standard text box to hold the html code (i suspect)

text boxes are limited to <whatever number> in length

if you changed to using an Rich Text Box you will get the entire text.. which has no character limit, or is much higher than a text box at least

RichTextBox1.Text = Inet1.OpenURL("https://www.neowin.net/index.php")
