How to Highlight a specific word in WebBrowser control C#
you're going to need to import the Microsoft.mshtml assembly reference if you haven't already, and add
using mshtml;
if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
{
IHTMLDocument2 document = webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument as IHTMLDocument2;
if (document != null)
{
IHTMLBodyElement bodyElement = document.body as IHTMLBodyElement;
if (bodyElement != null)
{
IHTMLTxtRange trg = bodyElement.createTextRange();
if (trg != null)
{
const String SearchString = "Privacy"; // This is the search string you're looking for.
const int wordStartOffset = 421; // This is the starting position in the HTML where the word you're looking for starts at.
int wordEndOffset = SearchString.Length;
trg.move("character", wordStartOffset);
trg.moveEnd("character", wordEndOffset);
trg.select();
}
}
}
}
here is a snippet that might be helpful also:
if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
{
IHTMLDocument2 document = webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument as IHTMLDocument2;
if (document != null)
{
IHTMLSelectionObject currentSelection = document.selection;
IHTMLTxtRange range = currentSelection.createRange() as IHTMLTxtRange;
if (range != null)
{
const String search = "Privacy";
if (range.findText(search, search.Length, 2))
{
range.select();
}
}
}
}
I am a novice programmer is my best samples. Just spend a lot of time.
Just connect your library
Project - add a link - Overview - windows - system32 - mshtml.tlb
using mshtml;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.Refresh();
Application.DoEvents();
if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
{
IHTMLDocument2 document = webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument as IHTMLDocument2;
if (document != null)
{
IHTMLSelectionObject currentSelection = document.selection;
IHTMLTxtRange range = currentSelection.createRange() as IHTMLTxtRange;
if (range != null)
{
String search = textBox1.Text;
if (search == "")
{
MessageBox.Show("not selected");
}
else
{
line1:
if ((range.findText(search)) && (range.htmlText != "span style='background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);'>" + textBox1.Text + "</span>"))
{
range.select();
range.pasteHTML("<span style='background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);'>" + textBox1.Text.ToLower() + "</span>");
goto line1;
}
}
}
}
}
}
