How to copy text from webbrowser/Frame Control (WPF)

[claton]

Hello,

I've added a webbroswer control in my WPF application, As the app loads up,
it naviagates to a site then How do I copy text from the site using code. I
can successfully do this in WinForms using WebBrowser1.Document.DomDocument
not able to do the same in WPF webbrowser control.
Any tips.

Thanks in Advance!

Regards,

The document should be available in the WebBrowser object. There's a
property named Document.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.webbrowser_members.aspx

Thank you Bjarte for replying,
I have checked the msdn and the property document is a bit different than
the WinForm WebBrowser. I have the following code in Winform

Public Class Form1
Dim doc As mshtml.HTMLDocument
Dim txtRange As mshtml.IHTMLTxtRange
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
WebBrowser1.Navigate("www.microsoft.com")
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
txtRange = doc.selection.createRange()
MessageBox.Show(txtRange.text.ToString())
End Sub

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal
e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles
WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
doc = Me.WebBrowser1.Document.DomDocument
End Sub
End Class

okie! I found the answer here

you need to type cast MSHTML to the webbrowser.document so access the
contents/text on the navigated URL.

Hope this helps others too..
