Getting an image of a webpage, and showing it in the GUI?

[Gui]

Aye guys, I was wondering about getting an image of a webpage, and showing it into another embedded Obj in the GUI. Yes, the image is a captcha, and I want to show it inside another embedded obj, that is in the GUI. This is what I've tried so far, but it fails. It get's the source URL of the captcha and displays it, but it's a completed different captcha image. I want the current one on the webpage.

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $nMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $nav ; that button navigates to the webpage.. which is right under this. This website is just an example.
                _IENavigate($oIE,'https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?ru=http%3a%2f%2fmail.live.com%2f%3frru%3dinbox&wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=11&ct=1259338197&rver=6.0.5285.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&lc=1033&id=64855&mkt=en-us&bk=1259338201&rollrs=12&lic=1')
                $capt = _IEImgGetCollection($oIE,6) ; that's the captcha image.
                    _IENavigate($oIEE,$capt.src) ; The second Obj for the captcha navigates to the captcha's src, the source URL for it. But it always comes up as a different captcha, not the current one..
                    ; above, I want it to navigate to the current captcha being shown, not a captcha that's different..
                
        
        EndSwitch
WEnd

With regards,

GUI.

You should be able to use InetGet (or InetRead for when the new release comes out) to save the picture to the temporary internet files folder. Then just make a control to display the image.

What's the directory for the internet files folder? I thought of that, but for doing it multiple times, it would take up memory, unless you just over righted that last picture saved. Anyway thanks alot for the reply! Also what control, an obj, or what?

It doesn't really matter what folder you use, but most people delete their temporary internet files periodically so the file would be deleted as well. Use the @Temp macro in place of the folder name to get the folder directory.

Ok, and what do I use in the GUI to show the image? Or how do I after the image has been saved?

Try:

$sImage = @TempDir & "\MyDownloadedImage.ext"
GuiCtrlUseAutoItHelpFileToShowImage($sImage)

Post removed.

I like Trancexx's approach more.

The inetget didn't work.. It was like this..

Inetget($oImg.src, @DesktopDir & '\captcha.jpg')

$oImg.src must not be correct. Make sure you have a fully qualified url. Also, try DebugBar for IE. That is how I deal with most IE objects.
