Make A Simple Web Browser In VB 2008?
Jan 16, 2010
I am trying to make a simple web browser in Visual Basic 2008 (with Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition) that uses the Gecko engine via a tool called GeckoFX and the XULrunner's dll's and resources.About GeckoFX - geckofx - Project Hosting on Google Code The book I am learning VB with hasn't covered this aspect yet but I almost have it all set up - this is just a side project I decided to play with because it looked really easy.
The Problem:
[code]...
I have downloaded both the GeckoFX package and the XULrunner package and unzipped them and placed the GeckoFX folder and the XULrunner folder in C drive.I have right clicked Choose Item in the toolbar and chosen the GeckoWebBrowser control to use in my form app.I know the path to the XULrunner runtime is C:xulrunner My browser only has the windows form with a text box, a button and the GeckoWebBrowser control.Now I need to set the call for the uxlrunner startup path where it needs to be. I have read that if I right click the project in Solution Explorer, I should see this option under properties.. but I do not see anyplace to do this

Trying to make a simple browser with some simple addon's. What Ive done is setup a menu(forum) for the user to enter their email providers web address and it will save it in a xml file. When they click on the email link, it should load the email xml iformation and place that info in the tb_html.text and navigate. I keep getting a null exception and im not sure what going on here. Here is the code:
Browsers:
Private Sub btn_Email_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_Email.Click
'Load Action
Dim SavedEmailObj As Storage

I would like to know a simple method to create a simple line graph, with a grid and X and Y values... I tried just drawing in a picturebox but that was just annoying and not clear... Is there any simple way to create a little graph with prefixed values on X and Y (graph should just be lines drawns from different Y values, with always the same change of X)

I have a (checked) listview with values in the subitems. I am trying to make a simple sum of the checked values, but I can't seem to get it to work. The values returned aren't correct.
The idea is that each time I check or uncheck a row it re-calculates the values from subitems(2).
Here's what I was trying:
vb.net
For i = 0 to Listview1.CheckedItems.Count - 1 Label1.Text = CDec(Listview1.CheckedItems(i).Subitems(2).text) + cdec(Listview1.CheckedItems(i).Subitems(2).text)Next i
I have (text) values like 77.50, 115.60, etc.

I am a beginer and I am trying to create a simple web browser using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.

As you can see from the above code I do not have forward, back and stop buttons. Thats because I do not need them. The browser will be configured to go to a certain website directly.
What I need is this browser should be configured to use specific JRE. That is the browser should use ONLY JRE 1.3.1 or ONLY JRE 1.4.2

[code]Close to no real programming skills (PhotoShop artist turning Visual Basic Beginner)This is a snippit of the code used in my browser. Basically the items that are in the list box are loaded from a text file hidden in the installation directory so a manager (or such) will be able to edit which websites are navigate-able.Here comes the problem though, I have not been able to get it to work correctly it will not block any of the listbox items. If I can remember it will only block the site which is selected.How can I re-code it to make the program block all the items in the listbox instead of just one.(Also if not too much trouble how can I make something that will enable and disable the code)BTW this isn't a commercial program or anything just a project I have been working for ever at home.

I've tried multiple times to create a web browser with tabbed browsing. I know that I have to use "tab control".
I have succeeded in creating a semi-tabbed browsing. People are able to add new tabs, but the webbrowser component only appears in one tab page.[code]...

I can't figure out how to make my web browser open links in a new page or tab instead of IE. I've tired at least a dozen different sets of code. None of them can be manipulated to fit my browser. When my browser first starts, there's an empty tab control. I put a new webbrowser in it at runtime and set it's dock to fill. I create new instances of the browser for new tabs as well. I just can't find how to make it open links in new windows.

I coded a web browser over the course of a year called Nova - very advanced with tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, etc etc etc etc. I could go on all day about how advanced it is. But.. there is one flaw. You cannot make it the default browser; I don't know the code!I already know the CommandLineArgs stuff so it actually opens the HTML file rather than just opening the program; in fact, I already can make files open with Nova completely. It's just the other stuff - you know, when a website is to be opened from a help file or something, it opens with Nova, Windows recognises it as the default browser, stuff like that.

Other topics around the Internet are all unfinished topics, so I'll ask this myself. How do I set a self-made browser as the default browser? I know it has something to do with accessing the registry and checking what the value is in some places, but I'm not quite sure. Now, I've made this browser called Nova;
very well coded and advanced, tabbed browsing, bookmarks, homepage, history, can change default search provider, uses Gecko as its engine so it's not just an IE shell, etc. It's been developed over the past year and will still continue to be developed. I'm almost ready to release the first version - but I just need this annoyance solved.

Hi, I need to program a simple Web Browser that can search for keywords and store relevant data in another file.I am facing a problem with authentication, mainly cookies and maintaining a session.So I read that Web Browser Control is based on I.E.? So may I know how are cookies and session handled?Do I have to implement them manually or are they stored and retrieved from the same folder as the one used in I.E? If so, if I delete the I.E.'s cache, am I also deleteing the cache of any Web Browser I make using Web Browser Control?

I would like for my program to navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines and multiple url links inside of it. I know how to make the webbrowser1.navigate via textbox1.text with multiple lines, however I want my webbrowser to navigate to each url every 1-1.5 seconds once button1 is clicked. Yes, my webbrowser1 will navigate to the specified urls via the textbox1.text (multilines) with a button click, but I need the webbrowser1 to navigate in a order sequence from top to bottom of Textbox1.text (multiplelines) every 1 second. Here is the current code that I have to navigate via multilined textbox1.text control in order sequence:
