Inet object

The Inet object provides the ability to display a Web page in the default browser, access the HTML for a specified page, and send data to a CGI, ISAPI, or NSAPI program.

Note

Inet object is considered to be obsolete. Obsolete features are still available to use, but are no longer eligible for technical support and will no longer be enhanced. You can replace it by using the WebBrowser control or the HTTPClient object.
