Using Chrome browser instead of InternetExplorer.Application
Google Chrome does not provide a Visual Basic interface like Internet Explorer does, so you cannot access any of it's properties (e.g. Document
). You can launch chrome at a specific address just by passing to the executable.
For example:
Dim path As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles)Dim executable As String = Path.Combine(path, "Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe")Process.Start(executable, "http://google.com")
There's an excellent resource library called Selenium that has VBA Wrappers. There's a very basic tutorial here, though if you really want to get anything done the best starting point is the example spreadsheet hosted here.
Sub test544() Dim chromePath As String chromePath = """C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe""" Shell (chromePath & " -url http:google.ca")End Sub
