We would like to use the WebBrowser control to display web pages. However instead of using the computer's network connection we want to pipe HTTP (and other) requests and responses through a custom connection.

I'm trying to make my word doc show up in the webbrowser control.
Dim strFileName as string = "c: empmyFile.doc"
Me.WebBrowser.Navigate(strFileName, False)
The word document is opened by the Word Server, and the Webbrowser displays "Page cannot be displayed" error.
Anyone know how to do this this, or is there another control I can use to display my document before printout?

View 1 RepliesQuestion for all of the more experienced programmers out there. I am working on a program with a tab control. One tab will hold a webbrowser control within it.

View 2 RepliesI have a question regarding clicking a button on a web page through the web browser control in VB .Net Express Edition.I have figured out quite a few tricks and stuff with the web browser control but I can't figure out how to automatically click a button. I know I can invoke the 1st instance of a "submit" type button but I want to click the 3rd instance (or chose which ever one I want).Unfortunately the button declarations in the HTML don't have ID or NAME tags to make it easy to pick them.How would I go about extracting all the buttons on a form in an array form, so I could invoke a certain member of that array and click a button of my choosing.
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to read out the contents of a page that has already be loaded into a webbrowser...say IExplorer...?

View 1 RepliesI am in the process of designing a computer control program to control a HF communications receiver (radio), and have found a problem with the Serial port. I am using VB Express Edition 2008. This module of the program is supposed to take an input string from another part of the program, format it, break it into 4 bytes, and send it to the radio in hex form via COM port 1. The problem comes in when you try to enter a frequency with an 8 or a 9 in it. The 8 or 9 is usually replaced by 45, ex.-input 9900, receiver tune 4545. The exact same thing happens with 8's, input 8800 and receiver tune 4545. All other numbers other than 8 or 9 work fine. The strange part of it is that sometimes the 8's and 9's work, and work correctly. For instance, 900, 1900, 2900, 3900, 4900, 5900, 6900, and 7900 all work correctly. This led me to believe that is may only be when the 8 or 9 is in the first position, but that is not the case, it also shows up in other positions as well. All other frequencies that do not have 8 or 9 in them also work. I ran into this same problem with VB Express 2005, and worked on it for weeks before giving up and going back to VB6.0. This same module (with exception of the port open command) runs flawlessly under VB6. I have even tried importing the MSCOMM control from VB6, but it gives the same results. In de-bugging mode, all of the inputs, decimal and hex seem to be correct, so the problem must come in after you click the command button, but before it leaves the COM port.

I'm considering writing a small program, to enable power management for individual displays in a multi-display environment.Simply and elegantly.Normally, power management is controlled by system activity. The goal of the program would be to link system activity to a specific display, in Windows 7.1 PC, 3 displays: A, B and C.In a normal situation, as long as there is activity, all displays are kept awake. Even if all activity is exclusively on display A. All displays are awake or asleep at the same time.
In the new situation, if activity is limited to display A, then displays B and C will go to sleep, after a specified time. Only the displays that are in use, are awake.
How do I register the control?
View 4 RepliesI am using VB2008 SerialPort to communicate with a device. My problem is, using RTS handshake I am missing the first 50 or 60 chars, after that everything is intact. I tried to change the buffer size - Has no effect, used standard, bigger, smaller and no change.
The device timing says when it sends CTS signal, it will start listening 100ms after that. I have no clue how to delay the write to test this. Should I first write to the buffer then write to the port after a a 100ms timer event?
I am using VB10 Pro. I am trying to add an MSComm to a project. I have tried to follow this example: [URL] which utilizes VB6 but cannot. Instead I right clicked the mailbox, selected Choose Items, but could not find Microsoft Comm Control 6.0 in any of the tabs. After doing a search I found another example.
From that one you go Project | Add Reference | COM.
But again Microsoft Comm Control 6.0 does not show up in the list. Where is MSCOMM? Doing some further research, I do not have mscomm32.ocx in my C:WindowsSystem directory.

View 1 RepliesWe learned How to assemble an input/output control board that would connect to your serial port. We were able to use out statements (back in the old gwbasic) to send output signals to the parallel port to turn on/off different outputs. The board had connections where you could connect lights, relays, etc, and had connections where you could attach switches and sensors.
I have been looking for something simple that I can manipulate in my programs. I already have an ActiveHome X10 interface which includes an activex for receiving and sending x10 signals (home automation, turning lights on/off, etc.). I want something that I can straight out connect relays to, and sensors as well. I don't want something that connects to the serial port since that is already being used up, the parallel port would work fine, or even better usb.
I am writing a few web based apps which will require a webbrowser extension. I have already used the IE webbrowser control that uses the trident web rendering engine. I believe this is MSHTML.DLL? Anyway, some of the users of my programs have complained of a few things. Particularily,
1. It seems to be a slow browser, at least compared to other rendering engines out there (webkit and gecko are 2 known ones).
2. On the developer side, it seems to be low in features. The features are sufficient in most cases, but there are some "special" things that I need.
3. It has VERY low HTML (and especially HTML5) compliance.
My question is, how much work would it take to use a different engine (such as webkit .net, which I HAVE heard of) and be able to distribute it easily. Or, if you guys feel ambitious, we could try writing a brand new engine ourselves. I know how big of a job it is, and frankly, I have no clue where to begin. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

I have a regular application form with a WebBrowser control.I have strung together a .htm file (from a regular text file) which I then assign to the WebBrowser control. In the html file, I have filenames mentioned.I am trying to string together the html in such a way as to give a clickable link or button that will parse into html and open the corresponding file in another WebBrowser control in VB.I have tried using VBScript and JavaScript to put a button in the html.As long as the function or sub I call is also in the same html document, it works, but I really need to transfer the control back into visual basic where I can do the heavy lifting I need to.can I just not do this as a regular VB application? Any way to do it without adding the complication of requiring ActiveX?
