Is it possible to extract the content from a web page that gets displayed in the browser control.

I want to open a web page using a URL and its parameters, then get the data being displayed in a table (see screen shot below)

Is it a requirement that you have to use the browser control? Can you perhaps get the content of the page by executing a HTTPGET instead?

No its not a requirement and I never thought of using HTTPGET as not sure the website would return any data via a post.

Do you think that would work?

When you type a URL in a browser and hit enter, that is a GET request. So I see no reason why HTTPGET could not get the same data so you can parse it for the stuff you need for your program.
