Runtime error 438 when InvokeMember clicking on VB6

Question

In VB6, I am unable to click skip_ad_button. I get the Runtime error:

runtime error 438 :object does not support this property error

What is the alternative to

WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("skip_ad_button").InvokeMember ("Click")

in VB6?

Answer 1

The runtime error is telling you that one of the objects you are using does not have the method you are calling. The possibilities are:

1. WebBrowser1 does not have a Document property
2. Document does not have a GetElementById property
3. The object returned by GetElementById("skip_ad_button") does not have an InvokeMember property

Without knowing your exact object structure it would be very difficult to give a definitively correct answer. Reading this page may give you a starting point but you need to do some research.
