RSS Feed GUI control or function?

I was wondering if there was a way to get the information of something on the Internet such as an RSS feed. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks guys.

No... I'm not too great with web codes. Only HTML.

There is an example of this already in the engine. The start page has a GUICtrl with an RSS feed in it. As far as I know, I believe it's still functional, we just had a bunch of problems with our RSS feed itself at some point last year.

Well, for TGB, anyway. Was the GUI for T2D made with the gui editor? If so, I could look in to that.

All of the GUI's are made with standard GUI elements. TGB is all scripted - but it's crazy dynamic GUI scripting, so it can be pretty hard to follow.

Has anyone ever done this before? Marble Blast Gold had a Tip of the Day code so maybe we could base off of that.

Top right corner of TGB there is an orange button on the tool bar - it opens a control that displays an RSS feed - so yes, it's been done before and you have the scripts to do it in your possession.

You were right, it is pretty crazy. So far I have the gui working the right way. The problem is getting the RSS feed to show up. After looking at the RSS gui and seeing the somewhat bizarre message, I think that there is something wrong with the location it's getting information from. This may have something to do with the Garagegames.com-TorquePowered-Garagegames.com name change. Could you give me some help? I have most of the RSS feed files in my game already.

Just checking to see if there's any new help...
