Downloads any URL to a byte array/string in async mode without using any API's or external components. VB6 NATIVE CODE.
I only needed MS Common Controls to add the listview for demonstration, but the control itself doesn't require it at all.
You can add more than one URL at the same time for download. - Accepts both HTTP and FTP url's.
Inputs
DownloadURL as string
Code Returns
ByteArray of the retrieved data
2 events (progress/complete)
Side Effects
Isn't affected by the IE 'Offline mode' like MSINET.OCX is. Uses any proxy configured in IE automatically, etc.
API Declarations' This component doesn't require any external calls/apis/references
' Obtains an url to a byte array using native VB6 calls
' Asyncronous - no need to wait for data to arrive
' Multiple downloads are accepted at the same time (different URL's, etc)
