I just looked in the WebBrowser component source, and it seems someone wrote a SelectAll property, but it's commented out, meaning there is no programmatic way in current Gambas versions to select the whole page and then retrieve it using Selection. I may try to uncomment it and recompile to see what the problem was, and package it up if it works, but that won't help users with unmodified Gambas installations. There are other methods for retrieving the HTML from the KHTMLPart widget on which the WebBrowser control is based, but for whatever reason (probably the original author simply didn't need it) they were never exposed. I assume that the KHTMLPart API has changed significantly for KDE4, so the WebBrowser component will have to be reimplemented, and maybe whoever does that will provide access to the HTML text. I'm not sure why this is, but if you need programmatic access to the contents of a web browser control, until some future Gambas release it seems you'll have to go back to VB.
